First, the sweet sound of a Heathkit tube tuner and integrated amp through a giant mono speaker -- Tannoy 12" woofer/mid and JBL horn tweeter -- our rec room system when I was a kid.Second, the first time I heard an audiophile system, after moving to NYC in the early '80s. The guy eventually had to declare bankruptcy because he spent every penny he had -- and more -- on stereo equipment. Funny thing was, he had terrible taste in music.
Third, the first time I heard a really good turntable -- a Pink Triangle, in Philadelphia, ca. 1988.
Finally, the first time I heard high-end ribbon speakers, about the same time.
And of course, every time I hear something new and fresh from one of my own "mid-fi" systems, as I endless fiddle with different combinations of equipment and speakers and source material. Looking for that musical Holy Grail ...
