As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This?

I figure a lot of us here started hearing music through stand-up furniture stereos and/or composite units (mine was a Craig tt, receiver, 8-track). Then, one day I saw and listened to my cousin’s Pioneer Spec amps (with equalizer and oscilloscope) supporting a Beogram 4004. He also had a Teac R2-D2, but it was the 4004 that had the ever-lasting magnetic effect. What piece of equipment got you?

Your early music likes so similar to mine.

Happy listening 🎶. Greg

In the 70's our family had one of those huge RCA stereo console TV's. As a kid it seemed to be 10' long and weigh 1,000 pounds. Way better than a pocket radio!

Late 60s went to a concert at the Stock Yards in Chicago. I was overwhelmed by the speaker system. They were JBL horns, etc. I wrote a letter to JBL asking what the system was. I actually got a return letter! They guessed what the system was based on my description. I have been a JBL fan ever since. Bought a pair of JBL Dorian S12 speakers from Allied Electronics on south Western Ave. I still have them!

Back when I was about 12 years old, the Thorens TT my dad had installed in an antique wooden portapotty type of furniture. For real.
