Good question. IMHO not much has really changed over the years. With the exception of speaker execution and phono cartridges, advances over the years have been more about refinement than in truly perfecting something new.Here is my answer to your question-
1950
Klipsh K-horn or Altec VOT
Brook preamp + 2a3 or 300b amp
--or Scott 121 preamp and Craftsman or Heath Williamson (KT-66) amp
Fairchild commercial TT with arm
GE VR cartridge1955
JBL Hartsfield speaker
Marantz Audio Consolette Preamp
Marantz 5 or McIntosh MC-60
Rek-o-cut TT
Shure arm
Pickering Fluxvalve cartridge1960
Mono
Bozak Concert Grand speakers
Fisher 80c preamp
Fisher 100 amp -or-
Eico HF-60 amp -or-
Mcintosh MC-60 amp
Weathers TT system (table, arm, cartridge)-or-
Same preamp and TT

AR-3 speaker
Marantz 7c preamp
Marantz 5 amp pair
Garrard 301 / SME TT and arm
