| Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore! @soix "Sorry man. I feel like I’ve been a bit of a preachy jerk here." Your words---from just last month. (You forgot "humorless.") I’ve looked at many of your older posts, as well. It’s your MO. You crap all over people at the drop. You did it... | |
| Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore! @rick_n @soix And then "metropolitanism" reared its ugly head. 😁 | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. How nice for you. 😁 The perennial: "I may be old, but at least I got to see all the cool bands." I saw Led Zeppelin in a 400-seat tent! So there! | |
| Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore! @grislybutter I think there has always been one or another in/near Harvard Sq. The best two suburban ones are still there, going on 50 years. I should have had a bumper-sticker: My car and my money go to Natural Sound. Yes, buying stuff online ... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. @fred60 I saw that tour in Boston! It didn’t lessen my view of them, but things were going so badly, that 1/2 way in, Gabriel offered everyone to go to the box office and get their $$ back. Almost no one did. The cocoon thing wouldn’t lift back ... | |
| Rediscovery @tomic601 I just got to 70! For 5 years, I've approached its arrival much as a doomsday-prepper. As for the vice-grip, w/o it, I would have already succumbed, repeatedly. I'm not a very good old, retired, white dude. I can walk to past a golf c... | |
| Rediscovery @tomic601 I appreciate the suggestion. My sound system(s) and computers have never been allowed to touch to each other, no matter by how frail the tether. I have inculcated hatred, jealousy, and distrust to help keep them apart. The cd racks ar... | |
| Rediscovery Whenever I feel nostalgic for listening to cassettes, I slightly enlarge the holes in my LP's. Didn't everyone make tapes for the car? Remember how excited you were when car cd-players came along, then made a sad face each time you drove over a ... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? The Bataka Encounter Bats (or aggression exercise bats) are designed to enable children and adults alike to release aggression in a fun, safe way. How many should I order? | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Wow, only one of you chose dead guys from a coupla/three of centuries ago, and the rest have chosen LP's featuring more "recently" dead people. I'm comforted that no one chose an opera. I just got here. I wouldn't want to have to get confrontation... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? @JacobsDad Since this has become a toilet thread, I think your trigger of audio asylum days is technically referred to as a "flushback." | |
| Any recommendation for a CD changer? Wait! Is Chicago "south of Boston?" I once had a customer service rep on the phone for 10 minutes, only to tell me that she could not find "Boston" anywhere in her New York listings, so, there ya go. I’m "south of Boston" right now! I could go get... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? Thanks for the nods and welcomes! It's been a while since I've participated in a forum. I'm looking forward to sharing some thoughts and laughs. BTW, if your first car-stereo wasn't an 8-track, attached to a hanging bracket that was bolted ont... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? I'm brand new here, so sticking my head out from around the corner on this may be a bit dangerous, but I live for danger. I think if one perceives negativity from some folks re: this "hobby," especially younger people, the reasons may be the same... | |
| Amazing Record/CD store in RI Wow! This is pissah news (proof that I'm from here)! And a bit dangerou$, since it's so close. Miss flipping through Newbury Comics for a couple of hours at a time and arriving home with way too much stuff. (Is that possible?) We used to hit 5 or... |
