When did good gear start getting your attention?


For me it as when I was a teenager. My older sister had a Panasonic compact stereo which had  a BSR changer with a ceramic cartridge. Then a friend told me about Dual turntables and AR speakers. That was in 1974 or 1975. Sister got married in 1976 and the Panasonic compact became mine, and I realized it just wasn't cutting it. Saved my money, and by 1977 I went to Tech Hifi in Manhattan. Left with a receiver, turntable and speakers. I've come a long way in 39 years but I still have all my old LP I bought at

1977 I think, I was a late developer, then a LONG hiatus while the kids were arriving and growing. I restarted in about 1998.

I would be interested if anyone, who had a family, managed to maintain,  maybe develop and LISTEN to a HiFi system, in those long early years with growing children.
