Decisive moments your your audio journey

Nice story @astolfor 

Thanks for sharing.

@ozzy62 thank you..

I forgot to add that I had a similar experience with my son, although he didn't continue to build amps into his adulthood, helped so much to showcase others that autism is not a bad thing, and although sometimes very difficult, is just a different way of going about life and living. 

It has been an incredible journey, life without music would have been entirely different.

Three times with my current system build up.

1. adding AGD Audion mono blocks. For the first time I heard musician’s phrasing.

That is the most subtle and most profound.

2. adding a Lyra Atlas SL cartridge. The detail and imaging went threw the roof.

3. adding Townshend Podiums under my speakers. The speakers at least doubled in perceived price. In a real way, the most important.

Around 1976 when I accidentally pressed the FM button on my dad's quality Grundig radio. At the time there were only 2 (pirate) stations broadcasting on the entire band range. But the SQ over MW was spectacular. Hooked to High fidelity ever since :-)
