hearing steppenwolf 'monster' on an early 70's marantz receiver & gerrard(?)turntable in my buddy's bedroom w/what I'm now guessing were sansui speakers(?), you know the ones w/the diagonal wood lattice grills. LP's were 3.99 but we mostly bought the 99 cent cut-outs from the Murphy's or Woolworth's dime stores. great memories flooding back, thanks for the thread joe.
what made you get into high end gear.
im pretty sure most if not all of us here have been music lovers & system owners off & on our entire lives so the love of good music isnt really what im lookin for.
what really got me thinking about this was i was lookin at the virtual systems a while back when i read where another member gave a reason why he got into high end gear & it floored me,i swear what this guy wrote coulda been a page from my life.
i guess what im askin is was there a special moment or a certian peice of gear that caused you to take the leap from store bought systems into the world of high end gear.
i'll wait to post my reasons as i dont want to make the thread take a certian course.
