There are probably more brands that have come and gone that I like than there are currently operating brands that I like.

Among the many dearly departed are the following:

Western Electric (I like the tube maker still operating under that name, but not the          new electronics)

Yoshimura Laboratories (speaker, speaker drivers, horns)

Eico

Fisher

Acrosound (tube amplifiers, output transformers)

Apogee (planar magnetic speakers)

Acoustat (electrostatic speakers)

Snell

Spica

Quad (original speakers, not Chinese versions)

Koetsu (the re-boot is still untested)

Transfiguration

Nakamichi lives on at my house....

PA-7A MKII amp and CA-7A pre-amp, both fully refurbished/restored.

I lament the loss of the Nakamichi company and OPPO disc players; and I fear soon Spectral Audio. I will put my "Immaculate, like brand new", near last manufactured Dragon Cassette Deck serial # A801-29325 for sale shortly with wired remote and original promotional literature. I also own one of the near last manufactured OPPO 205. I've been lucky
