Big Krells Have Vanished From The Used Market
Noble100 made an interesting point....MHO.....Not so long ago, a bet was made that computer printers could be combined and made to add scan, copy, and fax functions.  Don't know if anyone or any organization collected on that bet, but it's pretty ... 
Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably?
I used to own a pair of Kenwood L-07 monoblocks that were sweet.  Clean, clear, and strong enough for the space and my taste of the era.Let them go in a 'momentary lapse of reason'....we all seem to have those on occasion. *L* 
Wife trouble
I'm lucky.  Spouse likes my 'hobby', and enjoys the music it can reproduce.  She has her tropical fish indoors and plants outdoors, which I enjoy.  We don't spend a fortune on either, as a general rule.  We find other things to argue about that ar... 
Is Anything Really "Future-Proof"?
Nothing is future-proof.Nothing you can buy, nothing made by man nor nature, entropy eats all.Live it or live with it. ;) 
Is Anything Really "Future-Proof"?
syntax, that just about covers it.  The only one overlooked would be:We've reviewed many *insert unit name and type Here*, and *this one* stands with more expensive *unit type* we've had the pleasure to experience.(Well, it's not an utter piece of... 
Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned??
I'd buy another pair of ESS AMT drivers, but only if I had the space worth putting them in.  And then I'd have to set up the 'bottoms' for them, which would be yet another project that I can successfully put off...;)misstl, I agree with your longi... 
Thrift store tune treat for half-buck + tax
*Sigh*  I can appreciate all the output from all the dead white guys too, y'all.  But, meanwhile, the kulture has moved on...standing on the shoulders of giants, and all that......and remember that history is written by the winners and is subject ... 
how is this possible
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 
AXPONA 2017 Protocol
Bring a pair of sound 'earmuffs', or at least, plugs.  Save your ears for what you Want to hear vs. everyone else's....Shows always remind me of a  cage full of canaries, all singing different songs at different levels...You can thank me later...;) 
Living in Audiophile Hell ! Buenos Aires , Argentina
tejanolibre, it never ceases to amaze me how quickly some will launch into 'get rich quick' schemes without the slightest knowledge of what might befall one if caught doing something that skirts the rule and regulation of an entirely different cou... 
How would you get into the biz?
timlub, thanks for your 9:33am post....not that I'm seriously considering launching an audio 'quest', but more for the comments and insight on current marketing and the honesty of "we don't know what 'n 'ell going to happen next either'.   I've be... 
This is pretty funny and probably true for most of us
minorl, yeah, 'gallows humour' can only go so far......;) 
I knew we were different
“Although it is worth knowing that musical ‘chills’ are neurologically akin to the responses invoked by sex or drugs, an approach that cannot distinguish Bach from barbiturates is surely limited.”Ya gotta read the Whole Article, y'all....;)  Tha... 
Class D = Trash?
....I can see a novel business opportunity here...a 'burn-in service' for D amps.Send me your new D amps and I'll burn them in for you.  When I think they're ready, I'll send them on to you.  First come, first served, and be patient.Don't gasp...e... 
Brightest but shortest artistic bursts in the sky
Ricky Lee Jones...Great debut album, fell apart after that.All the 'one hit wonders', too many to name, too many things to blame as to why.......and all this reverie just shows our age....;) *L*
