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.

If you don't enjoy music today as much as you did in the past, this would probably be true. I do think I enjoy it as much as before - both the music itself and the thrill of improving my sound system. Difficult to say though; what I find most enjoyable today (detail, timbre, tone) is not what I was craving as a teen (volume, bass, bass and more volume)
