I did not have any mentors. When I was 16 and was purchasing my first system, a Sansui 210 receiver and a pair of Rectilinear 1A speakers with a Garrod turntable and Sony Cassette deck, my dad was furious. He said I already had a portable radio and a portable cassette recorder and asked why I needed a stereo.
It took me a month to convince him to let me buy it (with my own money). I believe the total outlay at the time was around $600. Man, I felt like I was on top of the world. If I only knew at the time that this would turn into a life long obsession.
