I’m 68 and started out as a child. In 1956 my dad built a Knight-Kit mono amp and a speaker cabinet from Electro-Voice Aristocrat plans which housed a University 6201 co-axial speaker (I still have the plans, I wish the speaker still existed). In 1961 he brought home a Voice of Music stereo tape recorder. At 10. years old I was hooked. Dad’s systems after that always included tape and he liked the Sherwood amps and receivers.
For me a 45+ year career in broadcast, primarily TV production audio. I’ve had systems until about 15 years ago thanks to illness. Retired now and rebuilding a music system. It’ll be mid-fi as my hearing is ‘assisted.‘ All told I’ll be making about a 6K investment, with the majority going to a turntable and speakers.
Fot me it’s all about the music.
