It is simply in trying to see if any/all can be helpful to others with beginning/starter systems...ie sharing of experience/knowledge. This is a tough concept as our nation seems to be in the grips of a trendy narcissism.
Second/Starter Systems and Thoughts on Components...
Audio is such a rewarding hobby/indulgence/pass time and a part of that is that it is very civil. Doing no harm to anyone and it revolves around music. Some of the items I have enjoyed (some greatly) in my bedroom, basement, garage....as a starter for a child...etc. I am a bit older so that has impact on what I have enjoyed. I have used:
Advent Receiver
Nakamichi SR series receivers
Almost any size of the early Advent speakers.
Most of the early Wireworld or Kimber interconnects/cables.
Some of the early Magnepan and Martin-Logan speakers
Much of the early Adcom electronics.
Early Fanfare and esp. Magnum Dynalab Tuners
Early Conrad-Johnson and Audio Research seperates
Early BAT seperates
I am sure you can add to this list. I feel being an older Audio-pile it can help others
in getting their money worth and might just save time. So, please share any good
thoughts you can pass on/share. It is good if we can avoid "what I have is the best"
posts and if we are helping people starting inexpensive systems it may be more of
what we have owned in the past rathe than our current components. And it has always
been helpful for me to learn from others experiences. In the early days of real Audiophile
shops many, many of the sales staff were very helpful/thoughtful and something I can miss
in communications today, kind.
