Quick poll How long have you been in this hobby?

Since the 1960's..... I used to stay up late, looking at the Radio Shack catalog, dreaming of the system I was going to buy when I grew up.

1973 with a Fisher set-up (not one of the classics).

I will not count 6th grade in 1968 when my buddies and I bought transistor radios that we hid in our desks and ran the ear jack wires up the sleeves of our shirts so we could listen to Cream, etc. in class without the teacher knowing. Pretty good plan for a couple of weeks but I believe the teacher ended up with all the radios.

1971 ... Philco tube amp with Voice of Music record player

early 80's with a pioneer receiver.

Since 1967.
