Decisive moments your your audio journey


Have you had any truly decisive moments in your time in this hobby? 
 

I would have to point back to the first time I ever heard Magnepans, it was a “whoa what was that moment?” moment. That was in the 1980’s. It was the first time I ever truly heard reproduced music that got the midrange right, without it being squished

The day I hooked up my Marantz 6300 TT to my Kustom 250 bass guitar amp and listened to Van Halens first album when it came out. Since those early days the music has always been a constant source of gooodness. Equipment wise it would have be the discovery of sub love. Holy crap that sub opens up musical avenues I never dreamed of.

I can clearly recall visiting one of the hi-fi shows in the late seventies/eighties and being blown away by a system featuring a Michell Gyro Dec and tri-amped Proac EBS speakers. Subsequently, just had to buy the deck when I could finally afford it (1992), now upgraded with an Orbe platter and DC/HR PSU. The John Michell room was always a must visit along with Max Townshend, both sadly missed.
