The topic says "Knocked out on First Listen." I took it to mean just that. Some were quiet a few years ago, but remain important to my overall audio experience.

Grateful, your last name is not "Dead" is it?

If yes, would you autograph some LP's for me?

Component that "Knocked Me Out" the first time was the tube radio in a 1953 Pontiac that hit me in the head when I was trying to swap the OZ3 regulator.

After I woke up it sounded great! Best of all, that evening I could listen with my girl at the Mansfield drive in during intermission when they had nothing great going on the screen.

You all remember that don't you?

Nrchy,

My conscience has been bothering me, it's time to fess up. Remember when you were here and you thought a pick pocket had taken your wallet?

Well, when you were out cold from the "big bang" speaker, I snagged your cash to help pay for system upgrades.

Knowing what a music lover you are, I assumed it would be OK. You'll forgive me won't you?
