A moment when you realized better sound was possible.

In 2001 i bought a car with an upgraded JBL sound system. As the years went by I got used to that sound, and one day I was listening to a CD in the car, and when I got home brought the CD in to continue listening. The sound on my home system was flat, dull and dead sounding in comparison. That realization started my on a quest for better sound, and years and dozens of speaker/amp combinations later, my home system sounds much, much better.

I went to my best buddy's tiny apartment in Berkeley.  It was during our college days.  I already had a considerable collection of LPs and I had what I thought was a decent stereo.  My dad was an audiophile, too, and we'd gone to several HiFi shows over the years. 


Anyway, my buddy had a tiny pair of B&O speakers bought from a Paris Audio.  I was shocked with the clarity and with how accurate the tone quality was.  As soon as I got back to L.A. I went to the town's Paris Audio.  The B&O's were there but I was much more impressed with the KEF Corellis, also on hand.  They made me realize that the B&O's had a distinct "cupped" tonality.  I got the Corellis as soon as I could get up the bucks.  Thus did my audiophile adventures progress.
