It was all about putting together a nice sounding starter system on a budget. Got the Parasound receiver and tape deck for $90, CDP for $50, speakers for $200. Look for Erica's name on AudioGon in 10 years!
My son who is now 14 has a system I put together for him a few years ago when things were better, cash not as tight as now ! I shopped around and switched out stuff at the right prices... Revox 285 receiver, Revox 225 cd, Nakamichi 600 Cassette, a/d/s 710 series II Monster M1 speaker cables. All above are Mint .Before the Revox he had an awesome Luxman 1120 receiver with a cracked glass. My first system was a battery powered reel to real and a portable record player. But wow they were fun too!
