Hey, all - I'm a brand new user but I have an ulterior motive in signing up. I'm not too into stereo gear, although I used to be a little bit. Much more into music. My husband, on the other hand, is quite into the gear, although not to the scale you guys seem to be. We have decent but not stellar modern gear (Onkyo receiver, Sony dvd (no blue-ray yet), etc.), but his prize is a 70s era Pioneer receiver and manual turntable he bought in the last couple years after pining for the "ones that got away" long ago. We're both enjoying listening to vinyl again after years of cds.

My main reason for joining is to try to find an old CMC Stereo catalog from the late 70s or very early 80s. He worked there for a couple years and now pines for the catalogs he got rid of, and I'm hoping to find one as a gift for him. I came across this group while doing google searches for CMC Stereo. Once I've gotten some catalog-related info, I'll tell him about this site & he'll probably take over my login, since this is really more his area of interest than mine. In the meantime, any wisdom, advice, or (dare I hope?) old catalogs you're willing to send my way would be much appreciated.

Also wanted you to know that I'm snickering out loud here at my desk over the dancing banana thread. Nice start to my morning!

Hello and welcome, Alessandra. Music drew me into this place, too. I cannot help with the catalogs, but I would not be surprised if someone on AK could. You may have to post that request in some of the other forums, too, to get a response.

What a sweetheart of a wife!

AK has a pretty decent library of materials for certain brands. You can also buy copies and orginals from eBay. Or if you wait awhile one of our good members will kindly turn you onto one.

Good luck and welcome to AK.
