General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Walking into the old Opus One audio store in downtown Pittsburgh.

Corner of Smithfield St. and Fourth Ave.
This was sometime in 1974 or 1975; the third Sheffield LP was playing on a Transcriptors Skeleton with a Vestigal arm. The cartridge was some kind of wood-bodied MC, don't know what the amplification was, but the speakers were big Magneplanars that looked like room dividers.
The song "America" came on and it was an epiphany; I had no idea that music could sound like that coming from a stereo.
I've never forgotten that moment and likely never will even when I'm old enough to start crapping my pants.
