It was about 1960 and my grandfather came over the house and gave me a transistor radio. I was in elementary school. Every night from that moment onward I went to bed listening to music on that little radio. That is when my love of music and this hobby began. Later in life it was when I realized how important the preamplifier was. Prior to that I thought it was the speakers and source. Now I realize yes they are important but once you can afford a really good pramplifer things can really wake up.
