Where did you buy your first audio gear?

I bought my first audio gear in a Post Exchange PX store in Baumholder Germany. I was a young soldier about 20 yrs old and bought a SAE amp and Preamp, Bose 901 speakers, Sony CDP-101 CD player and a Thorens TD 320 turntable. Where did you buy your first audio gear? What did you get?

I have no idea. Various joints in West L.A. Alongside my dad. It was a total treat going to them, though.

Video Concepts store at the mall. I saved up and bought a Technics rack system around 1986-ish.

The BX at Scott AFB, Illinois in 1979.  A Magnavox rack system that had a receiver with 8-track and also came with a turn table.  I think I picked it because the huge looking speakers appealed to me.

JC Penney 😆. Then I "upgraded" to a Lafayette receiver. After serving in the AF I special ordered Crown IC150, Dc300 and the 11 band EQ. from the PX. That's when I got the bug!
