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.

    Holy shit, that exact Sony EQ is right beside me! It’s an SEH-310, made in Japan, 1981. I’m old enough to remember racks like that, was far too poor for stack of Sony gear. My shit has always been a random mess of cobbled together gear.

      We were decidedly middle class. My dad pounded tin for a living. He just liked music I guess.

      I remember dorking around the EQ sliders, though having to reach a bit to get at them. This thing (black eye excluded) is probably why I’m hugely into music to this day. Some core memory forming shit or something
