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.

Thanks!

It’s kinda sad but the Ambience switch on my little Panasonic dual cassette deckback in the 80’s...  I was was fascinated and hooked!

...but after that, a pair of second or third hand JBL 4408’s. They just ‘jumped!’ when I played some Genesis (“No Reply”) through them. They led me to JBL 4312a’s which, when you set them up right, are wickedly 3D/holographic and just tons of fun on 60’s and 70’s rock. I knew I had been missing something when I was playing Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here album and for the first time I could hear height in the reproduction! Couldn’t believe it.
