Currently using my dads Meridian 101 preamp and 4 Meridian 105 Monobloc power amps and sounds as sweet as it did when he bought it round about 1979 .He lent me them about 10 years ago and hasn`t asked for them back yet!!!

I keep contemplating buying a new amp set up but I love the sweet sound of the Meridian plus the fact it get listened to nearly every day and is totally reliable.

"ee lad... they don`t make stuff today like they used to!!!" as my dad says

JamesOK:Big Chris:

My Hitachi Ghetto Blaster, which was a present from my parents on my 18th birthday (I'm 35 now. In 3 months I would have had it for half my life).

The volume control is noisy and a few of the tape buttons are missing, but it's in my garage and I use it to amplify my Roland electronic drum kit. It's hooked up to some Eltax floorstanders my Dad gave me for nowt, but the original detachable speakers are around here somewhere.

Not a, take a deep breath, 3D Bass Super Woofer Twin Drive by any chance Chris? I've still got one of those in my garage too. Complete with "Bass Boost" button which if you had turned off there was pretty much NO bass!

Having upgraded my stuff a few times I dont really have anything too old. Probably my oldest current stuff is my Mission 780s, or as theyre not reallyl electronics, my cheapo Cambridge Audio amp which I used with an iPod downstairs. Even then its only about 3 years old!

Nope. I had mates with them and even my sister had one of the smaller versions. Mine is....

Darren Heal:My granddad (94 in September) is still using his Goodmans Module 80 every week. That unit must be 35 years old or more, and is still working fine.

I remember the Goodmans Module 90 receiver and Achromat 250 speakers being very popular in the 1970s. (They were made a couple of miles from where I grew up, so their popularity might have been to do with a lot of locals knowing someone with staff discount! Same thing with huge Kenwood Chef mixers. They were made almost next-door to the Goodmans factory.)
