In the late 60's my parent let "the gang" hang out in our basement where we had a pool table and a 50's vintage portable phono. The contained speakers were fried so we spliced in a couple that we found somewhere. We used about 10' of wire, ran 'em open air and figured we had stereo!!! We also had to use spare change to keep the arm from running. Filed down some great albums including a great blue vinyl, double LP Led Zep boot. Ah, those were the days...
What was your first system, & did you like it?
I don't know if this is the spot to post this. Please tell me if not. Since I just put my first ever system together, I would be interested in finding out what some of you started out with,whether or not you liked it, and how much it cost. Sort of a nostalgia trip. I know mine is simple and just barely, if at all, considered "audiophile," but for a first, I love it. So here goes for my humble beginning.
CD - Yamaha 845
Amp - Yamaha RX-596 (integrated)
Speakers - B&W 601
Total cost used - $458
