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?

JC Penney 😆. Then I "upgraded" to a Lafayette receiver. After serving in the AF I special ordered Crown IC150, Dc300 and the 11 band EQ. from the PX. That's when I got the bug!

1973 at the PX in Japan Kenwood receiver, Sony real to real, Pioneer speakers, dual turntable. 

Worked offshore summer after graduation came back and my older brother and his bud, a Klipsch rep set me up with a Yamaha 50 watt SS, Philips TT 312 think, and Heresy’s. My little brother has my Hersey, I have big brothers after his passing.
