Although I've only been a hardcore audiophile for three years, I got an early start because my father always allowed me access to his hifi even when I was five or six years old.
That's how I developed a respect for equipment, an interest in audio, and a love for different types of music. I used to love playing those flimsy plastic classical TV records that would come in the mail when I was a kid in the '60's.
Good job Jeff!
