I simply stumbled across a high end stereo shop after drooling over equipment at Best Buy and Circuit City (about 10 years ago). I couldn't believe that there was stuff out there so impressive. I was hooked. The dealer I stumbled upon had a trade up policy. It allowed a then young teenager get into high end gradually. It wasn't until about 5 years ago that I came across audiogon and things kind of exploded. No help from parents, or friends, all things audio I just kind of learned on my own. None of my family members, and only a few friends have any interest in high end audio, so I was a loner until I found audiogon. 10 years later, and about 30 pairs of speakers in the past two years alone, I don't see any end in sight.
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.
