Summer 1970 at my friend's house. A pair of Large Advents and a Kenwood integrated amp. Thorens 125 TT with Shure cartridge. Listened to Hendrix Electric Ladyland, Its A Beautiful Day, Procul Harum A Salty Dog. Audio bliss! Enhanced by taking acid!
What was the first system you heard that made you think the high end made sense
I am sure I cannot be the only person here who can recall the day, and indeed the very system that made them think 'oooohhhhh yesssss - I get it - I understand - and I absolutely love it!'
In my case I attended a HiFi Show in Heathrow at the Renaissance Hotel. It was the GT Audio room hosted by Graham Tricker. The parts comprised:
DPS turntable- Schroeder arm - jan allaerts cartridge
Tron Pre-amp
Avante Garde Uno's
In all honesty I still remember the day now. It was so musical and had the ability to connect me to the music. When I went for a full demo at Grahams home I came to understand the magic of horns, valves and imaging.
