Where did you buy your first audio gear?

Leo's Stereo, Newport Beach, CA circa 1975. An all-Pioneer quad system. The "upgrading" began less than two weeks later...  

Kenwood KA-6000 integrated amp, KT-7000 tuner, AR-XA turntable with a demo Ortofon SL15T cartridge and a pair of AR-4X speakers purchased from Rosner Custom Sound, Flushing, NY.  That was around 1967.  Later added a demo Revox G-36 RTR.  I have photos of just about every system I've owned, but sadly not this one, although I do have photos of that G-36 as i kept it long after I upgraded all the other components.

Still own and use in Sansui and Advent’s in my garage as a third system.

Recapped and transistors replaced in Sansui.

Rebuilt XO with film and foil and new woofer foam surrounds and the Advent’s still sing!

I purchased a pair of Sennheiser headphones from Listenup (the original store in Denver) about 45 years ago. Soon after that, I got my first turntable from them.
