My dad had a stereo in the living room of our home. It was an XAM receiver and speakers from Korvettes with a Gerard TT. Loved playing his 33s and 45s in it. I was hooked after that. I was 5 yrs old.
As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This?
I figure a lot of us here started hearing music through stand-up furniture stereos and/or composite units (mine was a Craig tt, receiver, 8-track). Then, one day I saw and listened to my cousin’s Pioneer Spec amps (with equalizer and oscilloscope) supporting a Beogram 4004. He also had a Teac R2-D2, but it was the 4004 that had the ever-lasting magnetic effect. What piece of equipment got you?

In collage I was first exposed to at first mid Fi but what really grabbed my interest was when a friend got a job with real high end place. He let us come over a few times and bring our favorite albums. I still rember the McIntosh amps arrayed on rows of racks with those meters glowing. I was hooked but it was a couple of decades before I could afford moving up from mid Fi. |
