| "High end" store snobbery I know how you feel. There's one 'high end' store in my city and a scattering of a few more 50-100 miles away. The one in my city has always been a cold place to visit---dark rooms, dusty most of the time and snobby (why, I don't know). I have vis... | |
| Boxes I've kept all of my boxes for my current system---I have a few boxes from my vintage system (>30 years old). I wish I had ALL the boxes from my vintage system so I'd say keep them if you can. You can always break them down to save space. | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? Totally agree with your assessment and I've often wondered the same thing. I've lived through the mellow/rock of the '70s, disco, New Wave and House in the 80s/90s, Euro, EuroNRG, HiNRG, Trance, Ambient and so on. They all come and go but Hip Hop ... | |

| Buyer anxiety Always trust your gut. That's a NO for me too. | |
| After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be. @whart I agree with you regarding the younger generation and their music, gear, etc. Us older folks had to 'shop' for music back in the day and we had more access to hifi shops (at least here in VA). It took effort to go out and hunt down import v... | |

| After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be. @ghdprentice As for my reference system, I started going through different gear about 3 years ago---I played around with NAD, Bel Canto, Modwright, McIntosh, Naim, Focal and a few others but ended up getting a Luxman 505uxii integrated, Dynaudio S... | |
| After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be. Great thread---I've been in the audiophile world for about 30 years. My first 10-15 years was a swap fest with different gear, etc, since I had close friends at a local hifi shop. Then I settled down with my older system (now vintage) for quite a ... | |
