How Long Did It Take You To Build Your Dream Setup?
About 9 years of buying from the used audio sites, ordering from manufacturers, buying from friends, and straight swaps with others. It was also a lifetime of learning and listening to get to know the sound and what was most important in various areas such as detail and dynamics, for example. I'm still adding non-component things that make a significant difference in the illusion of live music. Bob |
boxer12, "So glupson... You peaked early in life?"Yes, since then it has been downhill. For real, I was excited and I was feverishly dreaming of that radio-cassette recorder. After that, nothing was a dream, it was just wishes. And OP was about a dream. https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/philips_radio_recorder_470_22ar47.html |
My 1st exposure to 'decent fi' was when my older bro wired up an HK tube preamp and amp. Drove it with a 7" R2R....forget what speakers he had.... I used to sneak in and play his tapes. Mitch Miller wasn't a real thrill, but Peter, Paul, & Mary's 'Late Again' was a fav....ruined me forever, for which I owe him That. "Too much of nothing can make a man feel ill at ease..." Still relevant....dammit...2:29 of reality, then and now.... Started listening to Brubeck vs. The Beatles....the rest is hysterical...;) |
