Thinking about the good old days...


I'm definitely  an old geezer, and have a lot of experiences and memories to reflect on.  Lately, I've been remembering the enjoyment of "audio" back when I was just starting down this path: the music was just so amazingly enjoyable and fun.  I think my greatest satisfaction with my own audio stuff was when what-passed-for-my-system was a Fisher 90T tuner/preamp, Fisher 80AZ amp, a University speaker enclosure that I built ftom a lot fitted with 12" University woofer and some University tweeter (I forget what).  The only source was a Lenco turntable with a GE VR2 cartridge.  Dang, that stuff was just so wonderful to my young self!

@keithsax,

'In the UK used to record the top 40 on Tandberg reel to reel from Yamaha CR800, Friday/Saturday night rock show with Tommy Vance, Annie Nightingale always playing Brothers in Arms as it was one of the first CDs, blues with Alexis Korner, big band special etc.- all gone (even the BBC big band itself)'


I think a lot of us did something similar, albeit with more modest equipment. Rather naively I would always edit out the DJ/presenter of the recording. 

Only much later did I realise that's where the real nostalgia was to be found. 

It's a bit like those unphotographed streets and buildings where you grew up having now disappeared forever.

Even places of work, where you spent so many many hours. I guess we get caught up in living for the moment, dealing with current needs and demands, but guess what?

Memories really, really, matter
