In the summer of 1966 a friend and I were riding our little Stringray bikes by a place called The Ear Drum in Hawthorne CA. and went in for a look. One Salesman told us to leave but another said let them look and instructed us not to touch anything. He then told the other guy we were future customers. Smart guy! I will always remember the glow of the tubes in dark store. In the early 70s while in the service and stationed in West Germany I started with mid-fi and progressed from there.
How did you get into this hobby?
I grew up listening to small boom boxes, never heard even a Mid-fi system.
When i joined the military, i first started seeing some component systems. Bass pumping, louder than the big bang.
I thought, "How cool"
Bought my first reciever a few months ago, and a couple low end speakers. Ever since then ive been upgrading.
Now my current system retails new at over 8k(everything included) paid under 6.5k, and with upgrades ive spend over 11k so far.
Been doing this for maybe 5 -6 years
