Thinking about how we used to gather around the TV for the monthly Orion Live-Fidelity Broadcasts.

Everyone on our dorm floor huddled around a 25-inch Radiant Television console with the blinds drawn.
We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop.

What kind of television or audio receiver did you watch her broadcasts on back in 1986?

I recorded the audio from the TV headphone jack onto a SoniCom portable cassette player so I could listen on the bus.

It felt so real. The sound of the snare echoing through an imaginary stadium... Orion's acoustic engineers were geniuses.
