Having become accustomed to listening to serials, I guess the progression to music was natural as I started learning to enjoy music in my early teens.Ī watershed was reached when my younger brother ?split? on me and told my father that I had played some of his records on the family music centre whilst they were out shopping one Saturday morning eish, siblings! Fearing a lecture, my father grinned and instead gave me permission to listen to his record collection, showing me how to correctly operate the turntable on what would have been a Blaupunkt or Telefunken music centre (because in his mind those brands stood for quality and in my mind it amplified recorded sounds to a level that I could appreciate.) High fidelity? Who cared, it was enjoyable and I quickly learnt that rock and roll certainly had feet tapping and me singing along. Or, I now ?get? Family_Dog's predilection for his hoarding of vintage stereo equipment, not that I want to hoard, but if a special piece of equipment, say a Sansui AU5500 and its matching tuner does come my way, I may not be able to resist investing.īut, let's not get ahead of ourselves and start with my journey many, many moons ago my wife says I'm old.Īs a small kid, I remember listening to the radio in the late afternoons, serials such as Staal Burger and Jet Jungle and a few years later Squad Cars and Men from the Ministry was centre to our family's evening entertainment TV was nowhere to be found in our parent's home.
My journey - from home-theatre to modern stereo to vintage stereo, with more changes on the horizon.
