I had a Sylvania or Magnavox (can't remember!!) fold out record changer that I inherited from my folks. I spliced in some no name speakers (in series!!) and had the obligatory penny on the tone arm tweak!!
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!
