While my Dad wasn't an audiophile he did listen to music and was/is a gadget freak. In the late 60s he brought home an Eico integrated tube amp and an old Garrard turntable that my brother and I hooked to a console speaker for one channel and a homemade speaker for the other. It must've sounded like crap by current standards but at the time it was pure bliss. Forty years later music can still provide goose bumps but not as consistently as in those days.
What age did the "audio bug" hit you?
I was always into music, and as early as 7 yrs old I would put 2 sources next to each other (2 tape decks or a 8 track, or recoed player) and fade them over each other and play "D.J." all day long, in High School I ran the closed circuit radio station and was the D.J. at the local YMCA for dances to raise money for our "leaders club" and did a few weddings here and there, then I was a D.J. at a lesbian bar for awhile (down guys! these chicks rolled their own tampons) but all the same I look back and I guess I was always some sort of an Audiophile...what about your stories???????????
