As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This?

I figure a lot of us here started hearing music through stand-up furniture stereos and/or composite units (mine was a Craig tt, receiver, 8-track). Then, one day I saw and listened to my cousin’s Pioneer Spec amps (with equalizer and oscilloscope) supporting a Beogram 4004. He also had a Teac R2-D2, but it was the 4004 that had the ever-lasting magnetic effect. What piece of equipment got you?

My Dad had a Sansui BA and CA 2000 when I was young.    When I was 15 I took all of my paper route money and bought a really nice used Sansui AU9900.

I walked into a hi-fi store in the early 70's, there was a lineup of JBL speakers from bookshelfs to a Paragon. Loved them straight away, always have, tried other speakers but always returned to JBL.

At 11 years old, in 1981 listening to After the Gold Rush by Neil Young hiding out in my bedroom listing on a portable cassette recorder. Now I’m older and because of Neil young and that little tape deck I’m now pushing past $200k in equipment.
