What you say is true.

My experiences closely paralleled yours, except I graduated HS in 1974. I started out with SS equipment but fortunately discovered a place 4 hours away in Champaign, Illinois, when I went to the CES in Chicago in 1976. At the show, they had set up a tube based system that was quite apart from all the other stuff I had experienced up to that time, including quite a bit of high-end gear at the CES. Music became a joy to listen to, and I got off the component-of-the-month merry-go-round that so many become addicted to. These guys were a voice in the wilderness, selling tube gear in the mid to late 70s.

I remember the magazine ads for Southwest Technical Products amplifiers back then, too.

Best regards,
Mike
