"I walked into audio stores and would lust after something just because of the brand and what it looked like"I walked into audio stores and would lust after something just because of the brand and what it looked like. Made me assume it was always a step up. I think I bought at least 4 different premium CD players in the 90s. And integrated amplifiers. And speakers. And honestly I am not sure how much of a progression it really was.
Ditto
for instance Accuphase and Luxman, didn't have the the money for it though, still haven't , oh well, perhaps in my next life then
