I was into audio since the 70's but my first quality system was in the early 90's. That system consisted of a Yamaha B1 power amp, Superphon preamp, & Empire troubadour turntable. What impressed me the most about that system was how well it imaged & I didn't get that until I changed the speakers from small Ohm's to Epos 14's. Suddenly, I had an actual soundstage in front of me. That system is long gone but soundstage accuracy is still important to me, which my current system does very well.
Is your now then?
What was your first significant experience with quality audio (then) and how does it compare with your present system (your now).
Do you think we strive to return to the past and remain in those influential times? Are our choices psychological, nostalgic even....?
Mine is a mixed bag. Solid state with turntable were my beginnings. Presently SS with digital sources trumping my TT most days. I am still enamored by albums and uber turntables, but budget constraints and the ease of digital is presently winning.
