In Reply to: thanks for the Worst - I wonder now what was the biggest revelation posted by elto on March 6, 2007 at 06:25:40:
Way, way back in time (mid 50's) I was using a Grommes 3 tube kit amp and a Heath/Jensen 8" 2-way with a horn tweeter and a VM changer with a Sonotone ceramic cartridge. I replaced those with an Eico HF-20, a GE A1-400 coax and a Garrard RC-88 with a GE RPX-050 magnetic cartridge. It was a night and day difference.Replacing the GE cartridge with a Fairchild was a huge improvement.
Getting my KLH 17's was a huge step up over the junk I had before, plus, I was now in stereo. This came about as a result of an article about the KLH Model 20 Compact System. For the first time I realized it was the systems engineering behind the system, that counted most.
My Pioneer SX-990 receiver was the first time I realized how good FM could be.
A half hour conversation with Chuck McShane (then Director of R&D for AR) who totally changed my view of sound and speakers.
Those are the biggies. The rest has been incremental changes, and not all for the better.
