The Marantz 1060 may not win the prize but I don't quite believe how a series with a long production (71-78) run with an outdated design (CC in the late 70's) and found everywhere, can still command premium prices.
Simply the name on the top center of the faceplate. Serious Tax for that willingly paid by those that must have.The Marantz 1060 may not win the prize but I don't quite believe how a series with a long production (71-78) run with an outdated design (CC in the late 70's) and found everywhere, can still command premium prices.
Forgot about the 1060. I've rebuilt two and kept one.The Marantz 1060 may not win the prize but I don't quite believe how a series with a long production (71-78) run with an outdated design (CC in the late 70's) and found everywhere, can still command premium prices.
I built a VTA ST70. Its in my main system. Lots of originals out there along with stock and modded New reproduction kits.This list will include echoes of what has already been mentioned:
Altec voice of the theater
Altec 604 (still in production at great plains audio)
ls3/5a from various producers
Maybe a fostex driver like the fe103?
Dynaco Stereo 70
Technics SL 1200
Dynaco MK lll, 1957 to now in kit form.
Dynaco ST-70, 1959 to now in kit form.
Dynaco ST-35, 1963 to now in kit form.
These can be bought in kit form as clones of the original, including reproduced transformers. Also in moddified versions in kit form or fully built.

Yup. I have a pair of the new 240'sPerhaps without setting a record, I'm sure that the AKG 240 headphones would qualify for a production-longevity list. They've been made in many iterations, but their 'family' has been in constant production for many decades now.
It would be interesting to see models mentioned that are currently in production
Same brand, sure.Lowther started producing speakers in 1936 and 81 years later they're still in business. They must be doing something right.
