The Wilt Chamberlain of Audio Gear

My name is Lou and I’m an audio whore

The first step is admitting you have the addiction! 

It is one reason that I do not subscribe to nostalgia audio, as it misses out on all the newer, and imo better developments.

Yeah, but that gets expensive too!

It’s fun being an audio Hooker.

I prefer to think of myself as a high end escort of audio more than a hooker or a ’ho

You guys are cracking me up!

If it wasn’t for you guys and gals here on Agon constantly revolving, upgrading, restoring and bringing your thoughts and experiences here with and about gear, I would have never learned so much as I have in these few short years.

I came here as a home theater head and there is nothing wrong with that but well let me just say I’m finally in the process of buying myself a true piece of audio gear. A Clayton S40 amplifier with the upgrade package of 50 watts of pure class A, albeit used, to save some coin. And I couldn’t have done it without you guys sharing and taking the time to teach.

And it is damn refreshing too that this thread has none of the infighting that sometimes goes on here, just great grown folks humor! Great thread Lou!

Hey Lou, I bet you never thought you'd be selling audio gear on the inter either?
I guess that makes us audio ho's too!

Tells us what else you got goin’ on with the Clayton’s please. That’s like you’re starting off with

All together almost decades of living with my old and oxidized Scott and Pioneer receivers, some KLH and infiniti rotted out speakers and other iterations. Not to mention the almost 100 buys and sells on ebay, usaudiomart and craiglist just learning and trying to get it right. I’m trying to keep it simple. No dac and dac transport player yet, just my minty Pioneer PL-630 turntable for the front end.

My next purchase will be a (T4) The Truth preamplifier/linestage.

I’ve sold my PSA V1801 subs and saving up for the new Spatial Labs Audio M4 loudspeakers coming out later this year or the M3’s.

All my interconnects and speaker wire use Duelund wire with KLE Innovations connectors that I plan upgrading to the Schroeder method. And yes, the Schroeder method is a technique by our very own Douglas Schroeder.

The phono preamp I’m gonna stick with my Budgie Parks Audio with (2) Kevin Deal’s of Upscale Audio Telefunken E88CC/6922 Platinum Grade, Cryoed, matched pair of NOS Telefunken vacuum tubes for now for budget reasons.

And just in case there any home theater heads here I’m selling all my Miller and Kreisel complement of monitors and surrounds here.

To help pay for all the upgrades. I’m just trying to get a good simple 2 channel system. Thanks for asking Lou.
