Growing up my sister had an all in one compact Panasonic stereo. When she got married her husband had a Dual turntable, HH Scott Receiver, Tandberg reel to reel and Rectilinear speakers. Hearing that made me appreciate that the Panasonic system left much to be desired. That was in the 70’s.
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?
