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?

I've a relatively detailed history in my Virtual System. 

But before I ever got into all this, a transistor under the covers listening to Radio Luxembourg was where I discovered music. My parents refused to entertain a record player, so I hung at friend's homes and played their records. Penny on the headshell.

My Dad had a Sansui BA and CA 2000 when I was young.    When I was 15 I took all of my paper route money and bought a really nice used Sansui AU9900.

I walked into a hi-fi store in the early 70's, there was a lineup of JBL speakers from bookshelfs to a Paragon. Loved them straight away, always have, tried other speakers but always returned to JBL.
