How old are you?

65
Saw Beatles, Stones, Herman's Hermits live on Ed Sullivan.
Saw The Who, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Eric Clapton, to name a few, live at local venues.
Bought my first mid-fi system in 1972 and have been enjoying music on an ever changing system ever since.
Music has been a great part of my life since my first memories.

66 but not feeling that way. 

class of '71.
one of the first bands I saw was Captain Beefheart in Des Moines,IA.
The first quality system I heard was McIntosh / Klipsch, hooked ever since.

Mid-60's here. Started with my brother's hand me down system of AR speakers a Dynaco SCA 35 and Dual TT. Moved on to Kenwood and Large Advents and on from there... Lots of pop's hand me downs. I still have his Nak 700, CA Audio Labs CD and his old Linn is my primary table.

60+7
(Do we get to erase this whole year......?)

Is it a stretch to say Hi-Fi enthusiasts helped advance the quality of live music?
