Re: amidst all the "young people do" "young people don't" care about audio quality...

"I remember some people having better systems... who remembers the Dansette... with the stereo extra speaker??????????
We were just into the music.
Hifi... quality came later... along with mortgages... houses... marriages or similar... kids.
Hey man its all about the music..."

I'm not sure how far back you're referring to, but when I attended college, both in Cleveland and Santa Barbara, sure music was a passion, but reproducing it for its max effect was also a passion. I mean, some of the wackiest tweaks I've ever seen took place in college.

Back in Cleveland, one of the weekend pastimes was to go to Hoffman's, Ohio Sound, Hi-Tech Hi Fi, or Audio Craft to check out the gear. And House of Stereo in Santa Barbara. Not to mention living in the Federated Group superstore on DeSoto while I was in high school.... And Sound Center on Ventura.

I only remember this because I did it so often. I even remember some of Federated's salespeople. David Draves for one. Lusting for a pair of Dahlquist DQ-10 speakers....
