First time was hearing Dave Brubeck Take Five on a 45 RPM on my cousin's mono 45 record machine, around 1958. Second time was hearing big band and other good music on a real stereo. I think that was around 1962. The next time was hearing Dahlquist's DQ-10 with two Dahlquist subwoofers at Jerry's Audio in Phoenix. I was way deep down the rabbit hole by then.
Decisive moments your your audio journey
Have you had any truly decisive moments in your time in this hobby?
I would have to point back to the first time I ever heard Magnepans, it was a “whoa what was that moment?” moment. That was in the 1980’s. It was the first time I ever truly heard reproduced music that got the midrange right, without it being squished
