The first-best-last analog item you ever bought



I bought a Heathkit WAP- 2, twenty watt dual chassis amplifier in 1955. My grandpa, in the midwest it's grandpa and not grandfather, told me to buy a Magnavox console and be done with it. Little did he know where my choice would take me 53 years later.

Today, my best and last investment is in a RTR machine. The machines are cheap when compared to the alternatives. Unfortunately the software is scarce and expensive

Nothing good comes cheap. How about your thoughts.

First: probably a really bad 45rpm single in the late 70s. I used to get $3 allowance and bought top 40 hits from 1978 through about 1985.

Best: Rega Planar 2 turntable. It was the "best" not on quality but because it got me back into records in a true hifi way, enjoying the music, the collecting and the ritual.

Last: Wife bought me a Roksan Radius V turntable last week.
