Sophomore year at CWRU in Cleveland Heights, OH, 1974: Dynaco SCA80 from a mail order firm in Maryland, I think. An AR-XA turntable and a pair of AR-4xa speakers from Coventry Audio in Cleveland Heights. Sounded great in my dorm, being fed a steady stream of LPs from Record Revolution, which just closed up shop after 55 yrs!
Where did you buy your first audio gear?
I bought my first audio gear in a Post Exchange PX store in Baumholder Germany. I was a young soldier about 20 yrs old and bought a SAE amp and Preamp, Bose 901 speakers, Sony CDP-101 CD player and a Thorens TD 320 turntable. Where did you buy your first audio gear? What did you get?
