45 of Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini when I was 5. My grandparents also gave me their multi 45 copy of Ravel's Mother Goose Suite. The Pavane section scared the crap out of me. That theme still haunts me to this day. Oh the above heard at that time in 1963 on my grandfather's heathkit pre amp into a 10 watt monoblock tube amp into a large Wharfdale cabinet that had a 15, a 12 a 10 and several tweeters firing upwards. State of the art mono set up for the time.
1st, most memorable recording...
In your introduction to high end audio, is their a rock song, ballad, jazz piece, etc. that really knocked your socks off and prompted you to get into the hobby?
In 1990, a buddy had me over to listen to his rig consisting of, merlin sig. 4`s, tandburg amp/pre and denon cdp.
The first piece he played was "Bolero" by the Philadelphia Orchestra. That particular arrangement, on that particular system blew me away and was my introduction into high end audio.
It`s still one of my favorite pieces.
Just wondering if any of you have had a similar experience.
