YOUR AUDIOPHILE JOURNEY WHEN DID IT START AND HOW DID YOU GET TO YOUR DREAM SYSTEM?


I had to create this post so people can share how they got here. I started mines with a record player that my uncle gave me and Alexander O’Neal album. I would get jam boxes back in the day. Then at 30 I got a def tech system at best buy and now I 22 years later I have an all Infigo Audio system with Gato speakers and 2 Rel 212se subs. I’m happy as all get out with my sound. It is my dream system not because of what it costs it is because I’m in love with how it sounds. What’s your story.

@ghdprentice All that effort building a state of the art system, only to abandon using the whole phono front end, and your thousands of records.

When I started playing guitar and making my own DYI electronics. This gave me better understanding of sound, distortions, tubes vs transistors. Later, with masters in digital signal processing - better understanding of DACs and network operations.

Started with a Crystal Radio and an ear plug.  About 10 years old.  Could pull in stations from Detroit on a good night.  At least that is my memory.
