played in the band in jr.high and high school- we had a record/playback system in both rooms (AR speakers, ampex tape decks, mikes on boom stands, etc.) begged my parents for a reel to reel (concord)- alligator clipped to a blaupunkt hi-fi/sw radio. later got a fisher compact stereo (turntable built onto a receiver). had an all-county band clinic at the high school one weekend- a guy shows up with a HUGE ampex recording rig. later i see peter mcgrath's studer a-80 with levinson electronics at his store. well, that's enuf for now- i have to go wipe my chin...
How did you get into this hobby?
I grew up listening to small boom boxes, never heard even a Mid-fi system.
When i joined the military, i first started seeing some component systems. Bass pumping, louder than the big bang.
I thought, "How cool"
Bought my first reciever a few months ago, and a couple low end speakers. Ever since then ive been upgrading.
Now my current system retails new at over 8k(everything included) paid under 6.5k, and with upgrades ive spend over 11k so far.
Been doing this for maybe 5 -6 years
