"Happy To Be Stuck With You!!!"


I don’t know about you, but I can no longer afford to buy, sell, and replace different components in my audio system on a whim the way I used to. Money’s too tight. Those days are over. And it’s such a pain to go through all that selling, buying and moving stuff, etc. For quite some time, I’ve made audio purchases with every intension on keeping the item for the long haul. I’ve just had to choose wisely. Case in point: I’ve used the same speaker cables for over 15 years and still counting. Why of course, I’m not actually stuck with anything, but there is one component in my audio system that I feel confident I’ll be sticking with for the foreseeable future, and that component is my beloved Revel Salon 2 speakers. I’m sure that others have had the same experience with certain components in their system that they’ve had for years, and years with no intension on replacing. Not stuck with, but happily sticking with!!! Happy listening.

this Technics combo of SP-15 Spinner, OEM base, Best Easiest Adjustable Tonearm Base/arm wand system is very hard to beat.

Exactly what I set up for my friend, works perfectly, sounds great!

 

 

this one, same SP-15 needs some wood repair rear corner, and has different tonearm base, tonearm wand does not disconnect, set height, if change cartridge, set height again, IOW, not instantly easy VTA adjustment. If not changing a variety of cartridges, it’s a good choice/price. Notice, Dust Cover a different shape.

 

 

I think it's fine to repeatedly mention your gear if you're especially happy with it.  As expensive as it is a kind of an accomplishment to be that satisfied with what you have.  Plus new people to the forum get to hear about it.

There's also good thing about it. Once you lower your bar, you can live more free.

Having recently acquired my first Revel speakers…the lowly f208, I keep thinking about upgrading. Then I’ll put a Patricia Barber album on the platter and again, the jaw drops. Even if these are their entry level (Performance 3 line) speakers, I may be happy with them for some time.
