What was the first system you heard that made you think the high end made sense

I am sure I cannot be the only person here who can recall the day, and indeed the very system that made them think 'oooohhhhh yesssss - I get it - I understand - and I absolutely love it!'

In my case I attended a HiFi Show in Heathrow at the Renaissance Hotel. It was the GT Audio room hosted by Graham Tricker. The parts comprised:

DPS turntable- Schroeder arm - jan allaerts cartridge
Tron Pre-amp
Avante Garde Uno's

In all honesty I still remember the day now. It was so musical and had the ability to connect me to the music. When I went for a full demo at Grahams home I came to understand the magic of horns, valves and imaging.

September 1973, Palo Alto. Goodness, but as a group we do seem to be getting on, don't we?

Yes, Sound Systems. Nice people.

Damn near bought the T-IV's, then T-IVa's. Each time was side-tracked with something else - mostly losing investments. Now it's different - I don't invest in anything but immediate gratification. Hence DIY. And Quads, of course.
