In Reply to: Everywhere; another post about downsizing or speakers so small they WAF great. What happened to UPSIZING. posted by cfb on April 9, 2011 at 13:18:51:
A fellow retired employee thought of me when he got married... and the stereo in the basement had to go.. in favor of an all in one home theater in the living room. So for a hundred bucks (a token) I got (all 25 years old) big Polk speakers, a Audiere Forte amp, audiere preamp, Rega planar3 with Magneplanar Unitrac arm, with Dynavector Ruby23 cart still in very good condition, an Oracle carbon fiber brush, a Denon ultrasonic stylus cleaner (rare), a record cleaning machine, Stax headphones..
I still have the Stax, the Oracle csrbon brush, the record cleaning machine, the Ruby 23.
How these turned into a free Sp-15 is another story.
Suffice to say the Maneplanar arm alone went for $300....
And for my coworker? I would guess he is happy being wrapped around some babes finger. LOL (i heard they sold the house he owned his whole life, fronting on a beautiful park, to live in a condo...)
Then the other story, the living room as a woman's turf. Some just go too far...A friend rented a space in a recent divorcee's home. The living room was pure white. All soft easy to dirty stuff. Not a speck was allowed. My friend was supposed to have the run of the house. HAH. She could not enter the front door, because of the pure white carpet, she could not sit in the living room lest a tiny smug of even the faintest yellow or gray cast fell upon the pristine living room. Clearly no living was allowed in the 'living room' (Yet the owner managed to use it all the time, I guess the owner was CLEAN in ways no other human can manage) my friend and the owner soon had a parting of the ways over a hair left in the bathroom. "A" hair, not some hair...
LOL.
