That's pretty much where I began in 1953. I wanted to be able to listen to music, and we had nothing. But our TV had a jack for a record player with a high output cartridge. My Dad got me a VM changer with a Sonotone ceramic cartridge, and then we had music. That was followed by a Grommes LJ (little jewel) three tube kit, and a Heath 8", 2 way system I bought from my buddy for $15. It wasn't all that good; but it did get me started. As mentioned in my first post in this thread, I had the big eye opener in 1967-69. In between was an engineering degree, and a lot of experience and learning in the aero-space business vibration testing labs.

I'm actually a mechanical engineer; but the vibration testing business is mostly electronics, so along the way, I learned a lot of EE, and in my last job, I spent my lunch hours fixing folk's equipment. So I function at the level of a decent electronics tech.
