Where did you buy your first audio gear?

tech hifi on angell street providence r.i. circa 1979-82 (i worked there to earn pocket money as a college student, first as a stock boy then as a customer service/sales person)

Left with JBL, 4311s, Crown PL2 and SL2 power & pre, SAE 180 EQ and a Denon, DP35F w/Micro Acoustics 3002 cart. I dropped everything I came home with in that one shot, lol - I was 22yo. Been on the wheel ever since

what a great thread, and what fun to harken back to those times

at tech hifi circa 1980 that was the top tier we had to sell - crown and sae gear in particular...

... and i loved that microacoustics 2002e cart on my micro seiki tt, went through numerous styli  ... electret condenser model with that loooong cantilever, super light, fast tactile sound

so many weekend mornings started with al jarreau, tower of power, michael franks, the crusaders spinning ...
