Ampzilla II Ampzilla II was one of the famous power amplifier in 1978... I had a chance to see it in Mongkok, but no chance listening to it...
You know if you asked the sale man to switch on for you; you may have to go through a series of tough questions...started with an easiler question first:
1. What kind of music you like most for testing?
2. How about "Lee Oskar"s' I remember Home (a Peasant's Symphony)?
This was the most Popular test LP in 1976, , other than this, mostly , will be Hotel California!
3. What kind of power amplifier are you using? - to understand your buying power
4. What kind of cartridge and Turntablle you wnat to buy next?- To undersatnd your taste.
5. What is your experience in loudspeaker selection? - to understand your music preference!
They were trying to probe you and see how to humilating you if you were like me, poor and dressed like a student!
At that time being a green horn for Vinyl lover, I had hard time to ask them... just wait for some tycoon or Low Ban (boss) to instruct them to... then swiftly I would move in and occupied a sweet point to listen... all I could do was to wait for such a chance...
