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

My first receiver was NAD 7175PE

Onkyo Receiver and American Acoustics speakers. Techniques turntable. About 1980 ish. 

Mine was a Sansui 7 Receiver. I took a long time researching brand, pricing etc and settled on this receiver. I had it for may years until I replaced it with NAD separates.

I had a Fisher all in one setup as a teenager. TT and all, thought it was the best thing ever. When I was all growed up, my first “real” system was a Polk Audio setup with towers etc. Then Marantz/B&W (I still have as my second setup) and then the list goes ON AND ON AND ON!

I received my first audio system from my parents in 1975, as a 16th Birthday gift.

The system was comprised of a Technics SL-1500 turntable with a Marantz 2230 receiver and a pair of Infinity 1001a speakers. 

I still have the 2230 nearly 50 years later, and that system introduced me to the wonderful world of music! 👍
