Shopping at Goodwill anyone?


I check out Goodwill a couple times a month for CD's . the audio equipment is not much to speak of ...until today. I saw this pair of Yamaha NX-E150 bookshelf speakers. All wood thick cabinet, 4.5" coned woofer and 1" tweeter.  I picked them up and they felt pretty substantial by weight.  hum...$6.99 each what do I have to lose.  Got home and set them up , put on my favorite B S and Tears SACD and WOW!  I was blown away...great imaging and soundstage.  They sound 4x as big as they are!   Happy Hunting today!

I've bought quite a bit of gear from Goodwill over the years. Turntables, receivers, speakers, and many LPs. Where I'm at there's not too much good equipment to be found barring the rare exception. Used to be better years ago. Still find some quality vinyl now and then. Recently found some great titles but all were scratched badly. You have to pore through a lot of stuff to find something that's excellent condition or playable. However if you're there at just the right time there's some very interesting stuff that pops up. It's worth a regular visit to your local stores.
Just remembered that I once found a large batch of early 60s folk albums of which I bought a few. But so many of them were of Burl Ives that I wondered how many Burl Ives records do you need. No disrespect intended. Burl's great but I think I can get by with fewer than two dozen of his albums.
Mofojo - please check your facts before circulating completely incorrect information. The Goodwill CEO made $729k in the last financial report filed with the IRS. 

The Salvation Army CEO did not make $13k. The last reported income of its CEO was $126k.

You have zero credibility on Audiogon.
