what made you get into high end gear.

One day(some 20-years ago) I took my car into the shop to be service. While waiting for the shuttle service to come by I meet a girl who was also waiting for the shuttle to take her to her place of employment. Anyway, we both got into the shuttle van and on our way we started conversing, during this time I mentioned something concerning music. At this time she realized that I was really into music, then she asked me if I ever heard of Sterophile magazine. Told her I have never heard of a magazine called stereophile. Then she told me if I would like for her to sent me a copy of stereophile, she told me that she was the secretary for stereophile. Couple of weeks later the magazine came in the mail as she promise to sent me. Well, I should have never meet her, now I am still hook after all this years. Be careful who you talk to.

Marco-

I believe that is Christy Canyon leaning against that Klipschorn. Am I wrong?

I love classic gear:)

Yeah, you're right Dan, that's her. Christy never told me she was into high end audio, heheh. She was was really young in this photo.

I don't think I am into high-end gear: every time I upgrade something someone on these boards tells me how good that piece of equipment is but that compared to brand X it is small beer.

I pride myself in being and remaining mid-fi.

The sound of a KLH Model Eight receiver system.....started it all. (I got turned on to the sound of tubes)

Now I have a McIntosh MC275 amp, C22 pre-amp, MR71 tuner, Rega Planet 2K, Music Hall MMF-7 & Vandersteen 3a Sigs.

In my youth, I did have a pair of Ohm L speakers... Did they count as "high end" ??
