Where do audiophiles retire?

But we are! Who else criticizes the sound quality first in a movie theater and not the film production ;<)

Mr. Tennis, I know personally 2 people who would spend 35K on a 2 channel audio system, and I am one of the two. This audiogon community presents me with a plethora of guys who have or would spend that much or more on a 2 channel audio system. So yes, we are different from other people. We are in some ways wired just a bit differently than others, who are perfectly satisfied with a $35 boom box bought on a whim from K-mart, which they find more than adequate to play their "fuzzy warbles."
The reason for these threads is that we desire to benchmark with our pears, with respect to non-audio but still important life issues. Yes, I care what Schubert and Lowrider and others think about non audio issues. Ease up my friend, and do not discourage this type of dialogue.

Lovely downtown Spruce Grove . As Liz said " right where I am " .

The final retirement haven for Direct Drive devotees would be the Timeline thread on audiogon. The theory is promulgated that an intermittent flashing light on a wall once every revolution proves that the platter has maintained speed at every point in between. This notion provides comfort and solace that one has acquired the best turntable in the world.

I'll answer this non-audio related question best I can, it looks like this place.

I'll be wearing light khaki shorts and drinking this relaxing in peace.
