Biggest impact on you?



Curious: I’ve gone through a lot of gear over the years. In reflecting upon this, a Conrad Johnson MV-45A1 power amplifier I bought back in 1983 had the biggest impact on me. This includes consideration of the many preamps, speakers, cables, CD players, and so on that I’ve owned through the years.

Has that piece been the best I’ve ever had or heard? Absolutely not. But, it was the first high end piece I’ve owned and it wowed me big time. Ran it with Vandersteens, CJ’s PV4 preamp, and a Sonograph TT – loved it!

So, what component (power, pre, speaker, TT, CD, etc.) has had the biggest impact on you?

I was working on a project in my shop and running some Altec VOTT horn speakers in the background. I had just gotten them at a garage sale and was testing them to make sure the drivers were good at low volume and to let the old crossovers come back to life as I have with several other unused speakers in the past.

As the speakers started to come to life I heard what sounded like a LIVE trombone behind me. I was not a horn speaker fan before but I am now. It startled me.
