Your first component that was "special"


I got into hifi 40 years ago. I had a Pioneer receiver, Kenwood table, various entry level cartridges (ADC, Stanton, Empire) and Studio Design speakers. I wound up buying a Shure V15 Type 3 cartridge. That was the first piece of gear I bought that was way beyond ordinary. I had kept the cartridge until about 2o years ago- I sold it because by then no decent replacement stylus was available. Wish I still had it.

....MHO, I think the 'digressions' ('L' trains and reverie of days gone by) are some of the finer moments we can share....so, have at it. ;)

The item that changed audio for me was an Audio Control EQ (model number ?), the one that came with a calibrated mic and RTA.  Lead me to investigating setting up system response to 'flat' within the listening space.  Tried it, liked it, haven't gone back since.  Now I've just gotten a bit more sophisticated about it....*G*  Better mic, better Behringer eq, let the 'puter do the 'heavy lifting', all that....
