Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui

I honestly don’t understand why @audiotroy gets dumped on so much in this forum. Yes he recommends products he sells, but he always discloses the fact that he is selling them so no one is being fooled.

Pretty simple.. the OP posted to celebrate his retirement and his system.

 Thanks to all the members of this forum who have educated me over the years to be able to establish my final system for retirement.

He posted to share his happiness with the members of this community. And even though many if not most of us here have ideas on how he could better it, we had the common sense and good form to allow the OP his moment and not do so.

Unlike Troy who leapt at the opportunity to rain on his parade, plant a seed of doubt about his system, and pimp what he is selling.

A pretty sh!tty thing to do know matter how you look at it.

 OP just wanted to share how happy and proud he is that he was able to arrive at this level of system as his retirement audio setup. He’s put together a heck of a rig there!!!
And yet there are still sales pitches and pissing contests. Man this place had turned to 💩…it really did.

Congratulations @jsalerno277 May you enjoy as many multiple-hour listening session days as many others and I now do. We have earned it. I also built a "retirement" setup, and well, kinda kept going over the past year, so never say "final".

I like to joke about it with my partner… addiction, audio dollars vs regular dollars… I give her a huge gift prior to a large audio purchase, but in the end we are just teasing each other.

No big gifts from me, but a while back mine gave me the 'ole "you spent what on that cable?" And I decided to convert the amount to something she understands- "It is the same amount as 11 of your haircuts" and that was that. It's all about compromise.

FYI: you also can access the great courses on video. I get the channel through my prime account for eight bucks a month.

I will enjoy the system always with a good bourbon or cognac in hand for as many years as He permits.

When you’re sitting at home without much to do (retired), the number of bottles could keep increasing without you thinking about it. It is not as stylish as one might think, deteriorates the hearing, liver, everything... So, drink some coffee, kombucha, smoke a small amount of high quality marijuana, etc instead...

Also, get a li’l high performance micro sub such as a KEF KC62 in titanium grey to match your Vivids and hide it away in your room somewhere. It will enhance the sound more than the cables and the Tambaquis (great dac though), make your speakers sound a lot better.
