I will hit the big 5-0 later this year. Send CD's in lieu of flowers.
Dixie High Fidelity Wholesalers sold me my first component system. Anybody remember them? I still have the December 1970 mailorder invoice: Dual 1219 tt with base and dustcover; Shure M91e cartridge; Dynaco PAT4 and Stereo 120 kits; and one pair of Dynaco A25 speakers...$440 new in boxes plus $9.15 UPS.
In 30+ years I've upgraded everything about four times except ol' reliable, the 1219:
Dyna PAT4->SAE MkXXX->SAE P102->Forte F44->Threshold FET ten
Dyna 120->Hafler DH200->Threshold S/300II->Threshold S/350e
Dyna A25->BigAdvent->a/d/s L710->KEF Q90->ProAc Tab2000sig
