Where did you buy your first audio gear?

K-Mart (I was very young) 

Harvey Electronics on 45st in NYC. Late 1960’s. The area was called Radio Row. I purchased a small pair of speakers to go with my small budget. I had a Fisher Amp (hand me down from Dad when he got Mac gear) and a dual turntable (Xmas gift). I was s card carrying member of the reccord club of America too.

A few years later I got a phase one Amp. Yup it blew up.

Crazy Eddie, Syosset NY. Bait and switch tactics. 

BTW, still have the receiver. 

@mikelavigne I also bought my first real stereo from Len at Magnolia Hi-Fi in Seattle when it was a neighborhood small appliance store around 1969 or ’70. Gerrard Zero-100 TT, large Advents, Marantz console amp. Anybody remember Jafco on Westlake?
