It's always interesting hearing members choices and opinions of equipment and set-ups on here. So many times, I have never even heard of equipment that is mentioned, only to find out that this person in living in another county from mine. I thought it would be interesting to see where we all live
Your quote of ..(What does it matter? You should be able to pull my profile up and see...wtf?)
90 % ? of folks on here leave "Profile" blank. I know mine is.
With all due respect. That’s a pretty smart ass remark. Do you really think anybody is going to individually search 175 post...? ( so far). We have learned tons of pretty interesting areas of response, their recent and not so recent home/locations, and little tid bits that certainly would never have been on ANYBODY’s profile. I think it’s been an interesting thread. Sorry to inconvenience you …
Northern MN here... it was a -29 here. You read that right minus 29. And yeah..no words. But shout out to the yooper.. newf27 it’s better than being a troll ;) all the best .. you betcha hey der it’s a bit nippy eh?
@bander I'm pretty sure i know more ex-Detrioter's than from any other place in the US! Having friends in the Bay area I would say you made a wise move. :)
Tuckasegee, North Carolina, in the western N.C. Mountains between Cashiers and Waynesville..from South Carolina and moved here two years ago...buying and selling the stuff since 1965 and getting ready to buy my “final” gear, turning 70 in March and time is flying, hearing is leaving and dealers are too far away to audition as we did in the good old days...drove eight hours to buy my McIntosh (needed the C52 with equalizer), will soon finish up with new speakers. My first rig was was a Fisher 500C with KLH17s .Wish I still had that 500C....oh well, now closer to my Clemson Tigers.
Petaluma, CA (Sonoma County) last 25 years; grew up in Tampa, lived in Boulder, Austin & San Diego. Good qualities to be found in all places, some just require looking a bit harder!
Houston, Delaware living in a Futuro house since 1977 and this is where I will stay till the day I die.I have had many sound systems and home theater for watching opera.I finally settled for Magnepan speakers driven by 833-A triodes (It takes these quart-size tubes to drive Magnepans) and after hearing this combination I lost all interest - except as a spectator - in owning any other system. I design and build my own amps and preamps which I like better than the limited choices of some very good equipment I could buy even if I could afford it.
@schubert, Robert Fulton's incredible Ark Records recordings were of local amateur Minneapolis choral groups and church organists. Sonically, they are amongst the best recordings I have ever heard, and are musically charming.
Geez all of you audiophools live all over the place. Very Nice indeed. For those of you in the NYC area I will be reaching out to you to invite you for a listen at a local dealer in northern New Jersey if you don't mind me doing so. I will be launching my audio products then so you are all invited for a listen.
The best place in the USA for classic music that is affordable, world class and has some place to park when you get get there , The Twin Cities . Also the only place(?) in USA where you can buy an entire high-end system built where you live ! Magnepan,ARC,Bel Canto,Van Alstine , Atmasphere . Anti-Cable,Scmitt Cables And if you really need a TT you can just drop into Needle Doctor .
Also, the excellent 24/7 Jazz station 88.5 has the largest per-capita share of listening market share audience of ANY city in the USA . So you know the folks are hip !And believe it or not, the jazz station is owned by the Minneapolis School Board .
