I'll be 88 on the 28th. In my late teens my interest in audio was kindled by a neighbor who had a JBL C34 rear-loaded corner horn, an amp with a separate power supply he designed and built, and a Garrard changer. He played a couple of Capital Full Dimensional Sound LPs. It was a revelation for me. I built a series of speakers that I used with electronic kits I assembled. I haunted the few local audio shops in the western LA area, but unable to buy anything. My first stereo setup was a Marantz 18, AR turntable, and AR3a speakers. I eventually transitioned to a rack of Ayre gear and KEF Reference 1s which I recently downsized to KEF LS60 and a pair of KC62s for music, and Sony HT A9 for HT. I'm keeping an Ayre AX-7e integrated and C5xeMP disc player to use with the Reference 1s. Music preference has always been classical and jazz, now tending ever more to chamber.
