1st, most memorable recording...

meet the beatles through jbl's and fisher

My progress was slow...loud, lots of bass got me by for the first 10 years or so.

But....

Comboy Junkies "The Trinity Session" was truly a gem of the highest quality for me...holds true to this day!

Years ago, I was at a friend's house for a party, and I heard a live version of "Dead Man's Party", by Oingo Boingo come trumpeting out of his speakers like the bulls at Pamplona. Until that moment, I hadn't much cared for Oingo Boingo. But in an instant, I realized that if I were to put together a quality audio system, I would have to revisit all of the bands that up until then I was certain I didn't like. It was a cosmic shift in perspective.

Boa2, so when are you going to put one together? All those Plasmatics, Ah Ha and Duran Duran LPs must really be pileing up.

Viridian..

Plasmatics?? My brother got into a fight with Wendy O', well she wasn't happy about him asking her about her prior 'film star' experience.... Haven't heard their name in ~20 years....

As for the thread, I ever heard a system that just got me into it, I have always been into music, and am kind of a techno-geek, I actually bought my first 'true' high end system from the want ads...

It consisted of

Aragon 4004 Mk II
Aragon 24K pre
Proceed PCD 2
B&W (original) 802 matrix (look like the 803's)

System was raspy as hell, but otherwise did well.... Well, many years and god only knows (as I don't want to figure it out) how much money later I am reall happy with my system!!

Sorry to stray......
