How old were you when audio gear first caught your interest?
Wondering how old people were when they first started to get interested in audio gear.
I first heard of Dual and Acoustic Research when I was around 13, but it did nothing for me, however, by the time I was 15 or 16 I definitely was interested. A relative had a Dual turntable, Scott receiver, Tandberg reel to reel and Rectilinear speakers (and he still has that gear, and the Rectilinears are still in use). I remember helping him get the speakers into his apartment. I also knew of Thorens.
That’s all back in the 70’s
