    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                I was wondering if it was just going to be me and George here in Geezerville.

                      Allied Radio - listened to my first pair of AR3's there. Of course, the AR3a which came later were superior. Also was impressed with the HRO500. I dreamed of owning that and listening to the world.

                                I would go there every weekend, with $3-5 dollars and look through the classical selection every Sunday afternoon. RCA Red Seal and Vanguard were my go-to labels. I would flip through the bins and find something that I'd find interesting.

                                          @George-K We probably went to the same Korvettes - Elmhurst if I remember correctly. I bought some Wilhelm Kempff Beethoven recordings. They also had inexpensive recordings on the Command label. I learned quickly that different musicians made a difference in my enjoyment of the performance. Hans Kahn and his chamber orchestra wasn't the same as Karajan and the Berlin Phil.
