1962, AR-2, Dynaco PAM1 and MK 4, Knight turntable, wanted AR but Allied Radio didn't have them yet. The EJ in the South suburbs of Chicago had the best record section. What IS this sex drive of which you speak? I think it is more the ex drive for us old farts.
What did you own in the 60's?
Here is one for the more mature folks here.
My first component system was a XAM 20 watt receiver, a Garrard 40B turntable with a 1 cent Grado cartridge, & a pair of XAM speakers with single 8" "full range" speakers. It was the house brand of EJ Korvette, a discount department store on Long Island. I probably would have done better if I could have talked my dad into going to Lafayette, but it was a longer trip.
I replaced the Garrard with a $91 AR XA in 1969. It was obvious that turntables sounded different, even to a 16 year old! I don't recall reading that in Stereo Review!
