In Reply to: How many folks here had record players as children and what did you listen to? posted by chriss on September 17, 2006 at 07:58:03:
My first record player was a hand-me-down from my parents which I got when I was six. It was an RCA that only played 7" 45s. I got my Mom's old popular late '40s 7" plus kids 7" from my older brother (Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Disney, etc.) When I was ten my Dad got a stereo system (Rek-o-Cut TT, Dynaco amp and preamp, and AR-2ax speakers). I inherited his old mono console with AM/FM radio and a mono turntable/changer. I played a few LPs on the console, but mainly listened to the classical FM channel (KFAC). For LPs, I primarily used Dad's system. I played it much more than he ever did.I started collecting LPs when I received two 12" LPs of classical music from an aunt as a 9th birthday present. My Dad had about 60 classical LPs (which I still have) which were sonic blockbusters of the time (RCA, Merc and Everest). I supplemented these with what I could afford to buy. My favorites were the Victory at Sea albums that I bought and my Dad's Shaded Dog RCAs: Pines/Fountains of Rome (1S/1S) and Saint-Saens 3rd (Munch/BSO 1S/2S).
Bought my first turntable, Garrard Zero 100, after college.
