I am 51 and have been an audiophile of sorts since the early 70's when I was in high school. When I was in college almost everyone had a component stereo. I hit the audiophile bug when I got out of school in 79 and have had this sickness ever since. Funny that my oldest son is in college and when he introduced me to his friends, almost all had computer-based stereos. I also heard a lot of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd on these computer stereos.
