We all had to start somewhere, reader Mark Gdovin observes. He'd like to know what your very first audio components were.
Over thirty years ago I started out with a Fisher tubed integrated amp (17/17W) coupled with Acoustic Research AR 2ax speakers, an AR XA turntable wiyh a Shure M70 magnetic cartridge, and a pair of Koss Pro 4a headphones.
