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?

Klipschorn speakers.  Stopped into a high end audio shop in Ft. Smith Ar. back in the '70s.  I have not been the same since.

Listening to a friend's system in the summer of 1970: Kenwood integrated amp with meters, Thorens TD 125 (can't remember the cartridge) and Large Advents. Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland, It's a Beautiful Day, Procul Harum A Salty Dog were listened to with rapt attention! At home all I had was the family GE stereo console.
