The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you?

The journey for me began with a modest but blue is beautiful Pioneer SX-636 driving a pair of Electrovoice Interface B's.  Could have done worse as a 17 year old kid.

My first receiver was NAD 7175PE

Onkyo Receiver and American Acoustics speakers. Techniques turntable. About 1980 ish. 

Mine was a Sansui 7 Receiver. I took a long time researching brand, pricing etc and settled on this receiver. I had it for may years until I replaced it with NAD separates.

I had a Fisher all in one setup as a teenager. TT and all, thought it was the best thing ever. When I was all growed up, my first “real” system was a Polk Audio setup with towers etc. Then Marantz/B&W (I still have as my second setup) and then the list goes ON AND ON AND ON!
