Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

I was 12 years old. It was 1971 and my friend and his older brother took me to their grandmother's house...

My friend's older brother was an audiophile and kept his system and music in his grandmother's living room.
Frank's System consisted of:
AR Amplifier
AR Tuner
AR XA Turntable
Shure V15
AR 3A speakers in front
AR 2ax speakers in the rear
Dynaco Dynaquad decoder

It was the first real system I had ever heard and I was in awe.
That afternoon was a life-changing event. I started buying music, buying "Audio" magazine, buying "High Fidelty" magazine and circling every single number on the "reader Information" cards the magazines had in order to get on everyone's mailing list just the very next week!

Frank's System evolved over the years and I was lucky enough to hear it several times afterward. His was also the first system I ever heard in a home setting that had electrostatic speakers.

Great memories...

Cheers,

Me, I'm just a lawnmower, you can tell me by the way I walk....
