Sept., 1969. A guy on my dorm floor had Dynaco speakers, Dynaco integrated amp, don't remember the turntable. I'd never seen or heard anything like it and spent the next 3 years drooling over the Allied Radio catalog.
1974 - Went through listening sessions at Tech HiFi and Almas Stereo in Michigan, checking out the Ohm Walsh designs vs. the Heil Air Motion Transformers. Got completely hooked and started saving and spending most of my pennies for equipment, especially after I heard Stevie Wonder and Bach on Maggies driven by Audio Research in 1976.
