When I was in college, having no car I walked maybe two miles to an electronics store having a 24 hour sale. It was late, I think after midnight, when the Technics turntable/cartridge that I wanted to give them for Christmas was on sale, and I carried it back to the dorm in preparation to give it as a Christmas gift for our home. My father loved organ music, especially E Power Biggs, and it was a pleasure to see him relish it with his albums.
Have you given Audio/Stereo equipment as gifts?
Perhaps it is the season, but I started thinking of audio related gifts I have given in the past.. I have given gifts of good to SOTA items to my two sons, my Mother, my two best friends and a few girlfriends/mates. Many of those are still in use. In thinking of other things, watches, clothes, vehicles...etc. it seems that gifts of audio gear may have been some of the most used and most appreciated......and, the most fun to give?
