In 1961 or 2 my brother and I inherited my Dad's mono Admiral console with a Garrard changer and a tube amp inside. In 1967 I built my first amplifier kit, a tubed Dyna SCA-35.
I am guessing since the age of 12 which would be 1978 ... purchased my first stereo with my own money that year ... it was a Yorx system with a BSR turntable. I began upgarding soon after that - Technics BD20 turntable, Kenwood LSK200 speakers, Proton integrated amp and it has snowballed from there!
an even more interesting poll might be: how much money have you spent on this hobby?
For me 1956. I bought my first mono "hi fi" separates: amp.Granco tuner/ and a garrad tt. and a big Norelco speaker with an 18" woofer.--Bought from Pedrini Music in Alhambra,Ca.on the lay-away program.
