A Pioneer SX 525 reciever. I was so happy when I brought it I rode all the way home with it in my lap, like it was a baby. I could not even afford speakers to go with it. The tuner was my only source listening with headphones. Finally got some house brand Havard Speakers,a pioneer turntable and a technics cassette deck. Great first system. That was some 30 plus years ago. I've a better system now, so not so very bad getting older.
Your First System
This should be good!!! Most of us have been in this expensive hobby for years now and have worked our way up to components we only dreamed of. I want to know what was your first system of separate components going back as far as you can remember. My first consisted of a Pioneer SX-680 receiver, a Technics SLD-1 turntable (I think that's the right model #), a Sharp tapedeck, and KLH floorstanding speakers. I was 16 at the time and thought I was the biggest badass on the block. Now, 20+ years later I have a ML 334, Meridian 507 CD, CJ PV10A, Canton Ergo 900 speakers, and a Transparent Power Isolator 4. I'm in the process of upgrading to a ML 390. It goes without saying the IC's and speaker cables are top notch as well. I know my system is WAAAYYYYY down the foodchain compared to what I've seen here but It would be interesting to see what everyone started out with.
