What are you Listening To Right Now? - and more

It was 1985 and wife and I were newly married, I had my first real job (actually same job I I have today), and in first house (rental). Here is our first “good” stereo system. I still use the cassette deck in my main rig and still have the CDP and TT (all Technics). Speakers were Bose 501 Series IV and were replaced when we bought our first house 10 years later and WAF over-ruled in favor of sub-sat system.

Plus, we thought we were uptown with that 19” color TV! :rflmao:

My Pioneer SX-780.I bought it in '79 from Adray Appliance and Sound Center in Dearborn,MI with money i'd saved from my first job as a short order cook.Been with me ever since. Mike Adray was a local legend who sponsored tons of youth sports and his store lasted from 1955 until 2009.106.7 WLLZ

I bought my 2nd stereo , 1st new nice one in 77 from Team Electronics , I was a cook at a hotel restaurant , I decided to go the integrated amp route bought a Kenwood KA-3500 & Pioneer PL-115D TT , I would have bought more up scale but I was reeling from having my albums and stereo stolen and just couldn't wait to get some tunes again.

That's awesome but,sad about your stuff getting ripped off.
 
The Warning, song Kerosene, from the album Everything's Falling. 08/28/26 Lava/Republic.
This is the last song on the record.
The song reached #1 on the Billboard 100 rock mainstream air play chart and it is the first by an all female band and a Mexican band in the 45 year of the Billboard 100.
The album has been well received and is either #1 or in the top 20 in different countries in different charts.
It reached #16 in the UK in the official albums chart.
In Germany it reached #2 on the top 100 albums chart.
In France on the top 100 rock and metal albums chart it debuted at #6
No classic cars were harmed in the making of this video. The Warning likes to place easter eggs in their videos for their fans to find.

Sound Garden - Bad Motor Finger on CD

Pulled the last of the items from storage over the weekend. Had these speakers for well over a decade but they never made it into rotation.
Speakerlab S6O, with a delightful ribbon tweeter.
To me, they very much look Nestorovic inspired, especially being from Speakerlab but Paul Johnston of The Loud Speaker Store has assured me that they are not.

Nestorovic association or no, they are excellent!
