GSM beat me to it! I was about to post the following:
To the many good inputs that have been provided I would add the better makers of high quality tube electronics in the 1950's and 1960's, including among others:
Marantz (the present company is the same in name only)
Brook
H. H. Scott
Fisher
Pilot
Acrosound and Dynaco (David Hafler's first two companies)
REL (Radio Engineering Laboratories, no relation to the British subwoofer manufacturer).
And the 1930's forebears of quality hifi as we know it:
E. H. Scott
McMurdo Silver
Western Electric (many of whose products from the 1930's are still revered for their sonics, and are worth small or not so small fortunes)
