A cousin, John Nichols, in the mid-70s. His gear was strictly Pioneer. Spec series amps, 909 r2r, tuner, equalizer, even a 1000 oscilloscope. Bose 901s. But the piece that really got me was his B&O 4004 turntable. Even with its drawbacks it sounded amazing and seemed a freak of nature. I was a pre-teen with a Craig composite unit, so it was thrilling to take a new album to John’s and listen to it “properly”. I now have my own listening room with high end stuff. I always thank John for his influence.
Who Were Your Mentors
I'm curious about who your audio mentors were, and how they influenced your audio journey and the system you pursued? Father, uncle, friend, sales dude, local manufacturer, other?
