It was about 1976/1977, I went with my Dad to the local stereo store. Dad was buying Cerwin Vega speakers, Girard Turntable, and a Sylvania receiver. The next room over was playing Dave Grusin, Three Cowboy Songs and it was magical. I don’t know/remember the electronics, but the speakers were Dahlquist DQ10. It was a whole ‘nother dimension.

As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This?
I figure a lot of us here started hearing music through stand-up furniture stereos and/or composite units (mine was a Craig tt, receiver, 8-track). Then, one day I saw and listened to my cousin’s Pioneer Spec amps (with equalizer and oscilloscope) supporting a Beogram 4004. He also had a Teac R2-D2, but it was the 4004 that had the ever-lasting magnetic effect. What piece of equipment got you?
