An all vintage system

My audio journey kicked off in the late 60s. When I heard IMF and Quad ESLs I was hooked. But as an American with a love of both the rock classics and Big Orchestral, my dream throwback system would be based on a IMF TLS 80s, and a GAS Ampzilla. An ARC SP6, SOTA vacuum turntable with a Rabco SL8e arm, Sonus Blue Label. For CD, a Sony SCD-1.

Mine is all carver off of ferris bullet day off. 500 t with meters .7 t with meters. Tuner and pre amp. Have restored them all.have  full rack.still love the carver amazing speaker.happy listening.refoamed the carver amazing.

My setup is mostly vintage, except the streamer, and turntable, well and subs. Would love to add a cool vintage TT, just hard to find in the right shape and price. 

For me, I can't afford new TOTL components, so went with vintage TOTL, then rebuilt them all. Even my speakers are vintage, and they sound great. 

For me, nothing can beat the look of vintage, it's hard to today to get the same build quality. 15lb tuners? Who even makes a modern tuner? That's the great thing about our passion, there are endless choices!

@wsrrsw I like your proposed vintage system ! 

I would love to have this 70 year old classic!

Quad ESL‑57 is widely regarded as one of the most influential loudspeakers in audio history, and many speaker designers, engineers, and audiophiles still use it as a benchmark or reference for midrange clarity, tonal accuracy, and low distortion
