I was 4 years old, listening to a record on headphones connected to this rig. Leaned too far back, and caught the 1/4 inch input jack on the headphones right in my fucking eyeball.

These things may be old, but they still have their uses today.

I still have a used, fairly high-quality audio system from the late 90s, i.e. an amplifier with good speakers, which is connected to my computer โ€“ a Bluetooth receiver for my cell phone is also connected (as well as a mixer and preamplifier for a record player).

I highly recommend it: great sound quality for little money.
