A really cool looking Stingray bicycle and a small transistor radio.
What did you own in the 60's?
Here is one for the more mature folks here.
My first component system was a XAM 20 watt receiver, a Garrard 40B turntable with a 1 cent Grado cartridge, & a pair of XAM speakers with single 8" "full range" speakers. It was the house brand of EJ Korvette, a discount department store on Long Island. I probably would have done better if I could have talked my dad into going to Lafayette, but it was a longer trip.
I replaced the Garrard with a $91 AR XA in 1969. It was obvious that turntables sounded different, even to a 16 year old! I don't recall reading that in Stereo Review!

EJ Korvettes Urban Legend see http://www.snopes.com/business/names/ejkorvette.asp From the mid 1960s to the mid 1980s My parents had a really cheap KLH system. But they had pretty cool taste in music--mostly bebop jazz. I, however, gravitated towards their Beatles records. |
