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?

Gayla Sound, Rochester New York in 1983. I was clueless. I walked in with nothing Then walked out with a $3000 hi-fi.  (you could buy a new car for $3000 then). Those guys sold me good stuff. The AR Turntable with Grace F9e. Still have that cart. Not using it now but it sounds great with a new stylus from Soundsmith.
As separates, 100w ss amp and preamp from Bellas. (Now power modules).  Artesian Group monitors.  Those had Focal duel-coil drivers.  My daughter has that TT and speakers now. She was a seven YO then.
