I used to listen to a 9 volt transistor radio in bed as a child.
I have always love SCI-FI, reading Bradbury at an early age, and building model rockets.
My great love of music kinda melded with my great love of technology.
A place in town sold Mcintosh gear, and linn and dual and thorens tables I beleive.
They tolerated me, I practically lived there. After seeing the large vu meters glowing blue
and jumping to the stones, the Zeppelin, and god knows what else I was permantly hooked
Then I started listening to Jazz, bob james 4, CHICK COREA, ETC, because rock was becoming kinda one demensional , my gear betrayed every flaw, its still my first love
but jazz will always be it for me.
I can listen to music on most anything, but nothing beats good music on well designed gear
