When I graduated High School in June 1971, most of my friends bought motorcycles with their graduation money. I didn't, I bought a Sansui 30wpc receiver, Rectilinear 1a speakers, Garrard turntable with a Shure MM cartridge, and a Sony Dolby B cassette recorder. This was Sony's first Dolby B cassette deck. Since then I have spent way upwards of 6 figures on my audio addiction spanning 50 years. Thankfully, I am extremely happy now and do not have any desire to do any major changes. I may still futz with interconnects a bit but that is only if I see a real good deal here.
What were some of your early Hi-End audio gear/influences?
I am now in my late '60s and became interested in "real" audio gear in 1968. KLH compact stereo, Dynaco, Garrard/BSR and more.
I have owned most of the brands that you would associate with hi-end audio. That said, I don't think any other product had as much influence on setting me down the road to the "real" music sound quality than the original Large Advent. Thank you Mr. Kloss.
