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.

First car stereo in a 1975 Chevy Monza: Kraco am/fm 8-track with matching Kraco 6” speakers with the all-important “whizzer cones” for treble response.

1981: College, Sherwood S9600 CP receiver (still have it, works great!) Boston Acoustics A70 Speakers, NAD 5025 TT, Technics RM240X cassette deck. Still have the NAD 9300 cartridge, and still a very fine cartridge!

My first audio system that I could call my own consisted of a Marantz 2265B, Technics cassette player and Cerwin Vega speakers
I was living the dream!  Man those speakers were pretty hard on the ears

@edcyn Not much anymore. Work commute wastes 3 hours of my day. And distracted drivers in big SUVs make it risky. But I do love biking.

Early 70's,  Sherwood S8900A receiver, Dual TT, Shure cartridge, SAE electrostatic speakers.  Shortly thereafter moved up to a Mac C26 and Crown DC 300A amp. I couldn't afford the matching Mac 2105 amp. Still have the C26 and Crown in my office system.
