This was covered VERY recently over at General Asylum.
Audiophile Origins?
I'm curious. How did you become interested in audio?
In my case, as a kid, my older siblings had a small, tabletop Magnavox stereo record player with fold out speakers (God, I haven't thought about that gadget in a while). I heard the music playing (probably Ferrante and Teicher or something like that) and became curious where it was coming from. Then I started to study the needle tracking the record closely (I could look at the grooves and tell where the various parts of the composition were by the size and shape of the grooves) and the rest is history. I could even identify the song and artist by looking at the grooves (just kidding here, the rest is true)!!!
How about you?
