..What a long strange trip it's been....
I'm a baby boomer embarking on a post retirement quest to capture all those things I never had back in the day. I came of age in the late 60s and very early 70's. For me, what we called "underground radio" defined my taste. Most rock longer than 3:30 as a generalization. So that means Clapton, the who, zz top, Jefferson airplane, king crimson, yes, traffic, santana, allman bros, the dead, stones, moody blues, ten years after, and a. Hundred others I've forgotten. There's also folk rock like Melanie, Joni mitchel, csny , cat stevens, neil young, etc. All vinyl, all the time!
So the quest is to recreate those days. I lusted for Jbl speakers, sansui receiver and Dual TT. I Know technology has "advanced" but I'm an aging hippee longing to live those times in music again.
I started doing radio broadcast stuff, creating a pirate station, and two years of audio broadcast education. From there I took a 35 year detour to participate in the design of the stuff that provided the foundation for everything called "computing".
So if you care to suggest components that would help my quest, i will be indebted.
