Do I remember???????
Yes I do. I was 18 years old when I went to my bosses apartment for Monday night football and a couple of brews.
I can't remember the circumstances but for some reason we couldn't watch the game (he probably didn't pay his cable bill). He fired up his Sansui receiver, Garrad Turntable and KLH speakers (so big you could bury a horse in). I was hooked. I saved and saved. Four months later I purchased a Marantz 2010 receiver with 10wpc, a Garrard turntable, Pioneer headphones and Avid speakers. Any one remember Avid speakers? Add to this some lamp cord to hook up the speakers and I was in pig heaven. That was my start and I have never looked back.
This was 1972 and I have had many different systems since then, BUT... I still own that 10 watt Marantz which I use daily in my workshop. Although some of the bulbs have burned out in the 25 years of use it has never been in the repair shop. What a war horse.
Thanks for conjuring up some old memories!
