If we don't count my parents' Sears Silvertone console which was the first thing on which I listened to records, the first stereo I owned was a second hand Panasonic RE7670 mini system that I bought from my freshman dorm roommate. It came with a cheap Garrard turntable. I passed the Panny on to my younger brother the next summer when I bought my first new stereo. That rig consisted of a Pioneer SA-8100 integrated amp, Sansui SR-212 belt drive turntable (similar to the classic Pioneer PL-12D turntable but the Sansui had an auto - arm return mechanism), Cerwin - Vega Model 24 speakers (a 12" 3 way ported design with CV's dome - in - a - horn "dhorm" tweeter), and Koss Pro - 4AA headphones. The cartridge might have been a Shure M91ED or an Empire. Speaker cable was some zip cord the dealer threw in for free. I think the whole system cost a whopping $440 which was more than my tuition at the University of Virginia that year!
