In the 80’s I was a 15 year old boy who saved up for a Rega Planner 3 with the R200 arm from Grahams in Pentonville Road. I played it through a Sharp and amp speakers from a rack system of the day. That was in the summer. In the winter I saved £100 ready for my first proper amp. Chris Thomas Audio Systems opened up near by and I went there to maybe buy a Rotel amp and was introduced to the Creek 4040 that was played against the A&R A60 that was double the price. I bought the Creek 4040. Chris Thomas brought it over with a pair of Videoton Minimax speakers “just to try”. I was blown away but had no money. When my dad came home he heard them and to my surprise said he would pay for them, a massive £75! That was the start of a very special friendship.
