Thinking about the good old days...

I'm definitely  an old geezer, and have a lot of experiences and memories to reflect on.  Lately, I've been remembering the enjoyment of "audio" back when I was just starting down this path: the music was just so amazingly enjoyable and fun.  I think my greatest satisfaction with my own audio stuff was when what-passed-for-my-system was a Fisher 90T tuner/preamp, Fisher 80AZ amp, a University speaker enclosure that I built ftom a lot fitted with 12" University woofer and some University tweeter (I forget what).  The only source was a Lenco turntable with a GE VR2 cartridge.  Dang, that stuff was just so wonderful to my young self!

I grew up in Ft Worth, first “system” was Heathkit fold up “record player in a suitcase” I got for Christmas.
Can’t remember now which Beatles album was the first, “upgraded “ to Radio Shack BSR turntable, receiver & speakers, I remember drooling over gear at Marvin’s Electronics on University Blvd, but couldn’t afford anything, bought used Tecnics gear when I was at A&M- loved it, have up - graded over the years- I’m happy w it, but damn- does anything really live up to the memories of your youth- on any level?
