In 1967 my Dad had a Laffayette(sp?) integrated amp, Fisher tuner, Sony r2r and a Garrard turntable with Heathkit speakers he built himself. When my folks were out of the house I ruled the system. I don't know about the system but when I put on a recently purchased(1967) sound track called Casino Royale I realised that not all LPs were created equal. That LP blew me away with it's crisp sound. The journey had begun...
1st, most memorable recording...
In your introduction to high end audio, is their a rock song, ballad, jazz piece, etc. that really knocked your socks off and prompted you to get into the hobby?
In 1990, a buddy had me over to listen to his rig consisting of, merlin sig. 4`s, tandburg amp/pre and denon cdp.
The first piece he played was "Bolero" by the Philadelphia Orchestra. That particular arrangement, on that particular system blew me away and was my introduction into high end audio.
It`s still one of my favorite pieces.
Just wondering if any of you have had a similar experience.
