The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you?

Marantz 2270 bought at Rabson's on 57th Street, NYC for $389 in 1976 along with a pair of Koss Pro4AA phones ($40). Speakers came later!

Speakers came several months later: a store-demo pair of Infinity Monitor 1A's with Walsh tweeters for $450 (list price $900). Then an Empire 698 TT/MicroAcoustics 2002E cartridge from Stereo Discounters in Maryland for approximately $400. All this by the Spring of 1977!

1970: Scott receiver, Gerrard turn table, AR4 speakers.

Unfortunately I no longer remember the model number of Scott receiver or Gerrard turn table.

Carver MXR 130 with a JVC tape deck, JVC Linear Tracking Turntable, Nakamichi CD, ADC EQ and Cerwin Vega Speakers. Beast of a college system.
