Decisive moments your your audio journey

Have you had any truly decisive moments in your time in this hobby? 
 

I would have to point back to the first time I ever heard Magnepans, it was a “whoa what was that moment?” moment. That was in the 1980’s. It was the first time I ever truly heard reproduced music that got the midrange right, without it being squished

Go to your doctor and have them clean your ears.  Especially, if your an older person.  I thought mine were clean.  Nope, not even close.  My stereo sounds the best it has in a long time.

Easy.  Dad's living room system 1952.  Large JBL corner horn ... two 15" woofers and horn mids and highs.  Driven by 25wpc tube Newcomb Amp w/Preamp.  Rek-O-Cut studio TT with Fairchild arm and cartridge.  First ever audiophile discs (Cook's "Sounds of Our Times") and Audiophile's Jazz disks.  "Live" harp; "Live" percussion, "Live" jazz right in our living room.  Built my beginning system in 1956 and have been hooked ever since.
