When I was a 21 year old college student in 1972, I bought a Marantz 2230.

When I as an electrical engineer with paychecks in 1977, I upgraded beyond Marantz. Crazy beyond.

In 2000 I took the giant JBJ speakers to the dump. I was trying to kick the stereo gear habit.

In 2006 I designed amplifiers that 100s were computer tested per month that sent me feedback on the data. There are many similarities between this feedback and group sizes in rifle testing.

Right now all I have is two Sangean monitors on my computer.
