In Reply to: Do you remember that "moment" when the audio/music bug bit you? posted by Maniac on February 27, 2007 at 14:01:56:
corner of Smithfield and Fourth in downtown Pittsburgh. It was October, cloudy, about 45 degrees, wind out of the west at about four miles per hour ("mahl-nahrrr" in the Pittsburgh parlance)...
Hey I don't remember about the weather or even the time of year exactly.
But we (me and two friends) walked into Opus One and they were playing "America" from Lincoln Mayorga And Distinguished Collegues, Sheffield direct-to-disc. Don't remember what they were using for amplification, but the turntable was a Transcriptors Saturn with a Vestigal arm and some kind of wood-bodied Supex cart. The speakers were Magneplanars.
It was an epiphany, a true Saul-on-the-road-to-Damascus moment. I loved music and had a stereo at home, but had no idea that sound could be so stunningly reproduced.
My life has never been the same...
