Sony reel-to-reel with Radio Shack headphones. Graduated to a Radio Shack amplifier and Advent One speakers, then, finally, to Crown electronics with the Advents and Tecnics TT. I was in heaven! (for awhile!)
Your First Hi-Fi Hankering?
Everybody remember the first time as a teenager you fell in love with a stereo? The first system that you really wanted badly? What was it? Did you buy it?
Don't laugh, but mine was a 55wpc Harman Kardon Receiver, Klipsch Fortes and a Dennon turntable. I had to settle for a Pioneer SX-650, Technics turntable (Empire Cartridge?) and a pair of crap house brand speakers called ECI.
This was in Scottsdale, AZ in the mid-late 70's. My dream system was at a place called Bill's Sight and Sound at Los Arcos Mall & bought the other stuff at a place called Custom Hi-Fi.
