I'm old so...
First it was the table radio with the pretty glowing tubes. Wonderful... how does it all work?
Then Ham Radio to talk with the world, and more equipment fascination.
As a teen it was all about the music... loved the Do-Wop but how bad was that sound? Darn Barry Gordy left us no SQ.
Then, sixty years of equipment and sound fascination at the same time. Thousands for stuff for slightly better sound? Better cables in my rig? Pretty stuff? More realistic? You bet.
The best of both worlds. Now to enjoy hours at a time.
My ears, my money.
All good...
