what lp-cd hooked you on hifi

[Dougal1331]

For me it was 'The Prodigy Experience'. For years we had very basic stereos that had no descernable bass although I did not realise this at the time. Went round a friends house who played the CD on his Fischer hi-fi and I was gobsmacked at the difference.

It was all down hill from there...

I'm seconding that one...

Went from a £99 Saisho midi system (turntable, twin tape, hi-speed dubbing etc and a whopping 10W output. Oh and cardboard speakers with naff 4" 'full-range' (sic) drivers.), to Philips CD604, Rotel RA930 and Mission 760i. Now that was a hefty upgrade...

Electric Warrior by T.REX back in 1971

Could've been that one or maybe Slade Alive or Bowie's Ziggy Stardust or even Queen - NATO.

Too long ago to remember but it's probably one of those. :rockout:

Originally got into music hearing the earliest Beatles, Stones, Hollies, Kinks etc LPs on a Dansette type record player. Then at university heard Sgt Pepper on a Garrard 401/Sme/Shure/Quad system with big Wharfedale speakers and after that I was hooked
