Interesting story..

How loud was that 1st floor with those 901s bracketed to the basement ceiling ;-)

I can certainly identify with growing up in the late 70s - early 80's and the, cool older brother/sister in the house, thing. Also, with the "don't touch my stuff" mentality. It all brings back so many personal memories. Sometimes replete with blacklights, beads, cannabis (dope seeds in the gatefold).. haven't to scramble out've there when someone came suddenly came home.

Whether it be my older sister (my older brother was a bit of a jock dickhead) or my friends older sibs.. to be called into the inner sanctum to listen to albums on "the really good stereo", or like you said, to sneak the experience and trespass.. It was always thrilling to be able to exp. the better gear (where were you when you first heard DSofTM?).

I'm sure the same feelings are valid if it was with some adults finer system.. or a "straighter" experience ;-) But my formation of a desire/need for cool audio gear one day was not unlike yours..

How could those kind've exposures not leave a lingering desire to want a fat system and a bunch of records one day? Or to want to do a sh*tload of drugs, throw up and pass out in a beanbag chair ;-).
