Hi my name is Jot. I am 10 years old and this is my first system. My father made it for me out of old equipment he had stored away. He did buy some new Mullard tubes for my Integrated amps preamp.It was very fun to build and learn about different equipment. I love to look at all the things here for sale and look at the neat pictures of different equipment. I don't think I will be changing it any time soon as I am only 10, unless my dad has something for me. Putting my system up here on Audiogon has also been very fun. Thanks JOT.
I was about the same age when my father and brother gave me my first stereo and I was overjoyed! I went on to build my own speakers since I couldnt afford to buy any nice speaker. My first systym was an old realistic setup which was tube and was about 10 watts with all the matching parts tuner,and record player. That was all they had back then. I love that you are having the same expirence but just be aware that you will be addicted to this for life. I remeber cutting grass and many other odd jobs to buy my next piece of equipment which was a carve cube. Good luck!
