The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you?

1972 fall: Sansui 2000x driving large Advents, via a Dual 1215S and Shure M91E. Satisfying for 6 months before I began to rapidly upgrade, shocking myself at each improvement. First improvement was adding a second pai of Advents to stack, sold to me by none other than the late Bill Thalmann. It was off to the races for 10 more years before post-docs, marriage, and kids ossified things for a while!

My first take notice system was a Marantz 6300 TT, run into a Marshall guitar amp and stack. That Marantz is the only TT I have ever owned. It still gets some use when I feel nostalgic. And yes, I still have a Marshall amp also. I am very loyal to my gear, and it remains loyal to me.

The journey for me began with a modest but blue is beautiful Pioneer SX-636 driving a pair of Electrovoice Interface B's.  Could have done worse as a 17 year old kid.
