There wasn't a single event that got Sonic into really listening but one day I got invited to listen to what I was told would be a special system. It was a Maplenoll turntable with a parallel tracking arm and an Audio Technica OC9 moving coil, a transformer and Quicksilver pre/main amps driving Spica TC50s. The record played was Graceland by Paul Simon. It was so musical and I heard so much more musick there was no turning back after that.
