1964 Sears suit case with drop down turntable and 1 detachable speaker, came one xmas eve. Put a record on for sleepy time. Turned the volume all the way down and that ceramic stylus was loud enough. 1968, Navy gave me a chance to visit building A33 in Yokosuka, bought a small Pioneer rcvr., Pioneer speakers, Dual 1019 with a Shure floating stylus(only made for one year, stylus easily broke) and Panasonic RTR. Have yet to stop upgrading.
Your first system and your journey...
Since we are on a audiophile (or is that audio-pile) site many, if not most, have had some decent systems. I would enjoy in hearing from all/any about what your first system was made up of. Mine was a Dynaco, I think something like a 35, tube integrated with some small British two way speakers and a BSR McDonald turntable with something like a 44E Shure cartridge , ...and yes, lamp cord for wires and whatever came on the turntable. It is almost sad to say I have spent much more on some interconnects than that first system cost.
