Is your now then?

You brought back Seinfeld to me with George and his future in-laws “you want to get nuts? Let’s get nuts!”

My first was a Sansui 7070 receiver with Bose 901’s Pioneer pl112d turntable, the year is 1978 At this time it was all albums with some radio. I lived in a fringe area for radio so I installed a 50 foot mast and fm antenna. The combo of Sansui and Bose would vibrate nick nacks off shelfs of houses across the street. The Sansui could double as an arc welder on weekends. My first over budget addition was a Nakamichi Dragon cassette deck that is still in my system today and I still does not receive the respect it deserves. Our best outlet for equipment was American tv who carried everything you could want. They had a licked high end room that I was able to visit after my Dragon buy. We got to play with the new Carver system they set up. I can’t recall the speakers think they were B&W. I sat in there for over two hours damaging my ears with pure joy. This was the first time I recall hearing things in a recording that never came through the radio of my Pioneer entry level tt. Last thing I recall was walking out of the room extremely disappointed knowing I could never afford to spent that much money on a “stereo” system. Now is today and I am in a position to buy what ever I want and I happily progressing through the journey. I am now hoping to pull the trigger on a high quality r2r DAC. To answer you question. Am I trying to get back to that day with Carver? Kinda of but also aiming way higher because I can!
