Woke up at 6am after going to bed at 2 or 3am or so. my bud came by my bachelor pad and we listened to Aphex Twin's new album. I also gave him a pair of speakers I wasn't using (Audes Excellence 1 standmounts). My bud is responsible for my increased interest in music starting when I was very young as I've been good friends with him since the high school days, later he joined our college radio station and turned me on to so much stuff when he was both on and off the air.He uses a Musical Fidelity A300 and a Technics SL-1200MKII which he bought from me, he was using crappy insignia speakers and now he's got a good setup that should last a long time. I think the Audes are a nice upgrade from mass market insignia, however good they were for the price (the ones that had carbon woofers which were all the rage many years ago for around $80 at that point).

It's nice that you're helping your bud out and paying off some of your Karmic debt...[g]

I've almost stopped that kind of partying completely though. Last week I did that and it took me three days to recover. The spirit is willing but the body says enough.
That my body can't cash! I forget where I first heard this, but it is soooo true!

I woke up at 6am, it is 9am, had a beer to kill the pain ;)
I await what my bud tells me how the speakers sound, I hooked them up for shits and giggles to my amp I have in my main system, I nearly blew them out so I think he will be good with the MF integrated he has :)
One frickin' beer?! Holy moly, it takes me 2 Black Russians to steady my nerves. lol (No racism or nationalism intended, for those of you who are hyper-sensitive.)
Nice job on giving your bud a pair of speakers. That was very cool. No strings attached, I hope. A friend of mine gave me a Tascam 44 tape deck, but unfortunately, it has a couple issues which will cost me $400 to fix. I'm in a quandry.
Btw, a shout out to all inmates - If anyone feels the urge to give away a Millennia HV-3D mic preamp, I'd be happy to have it.
:)
I told him if he sells the speakers to buy me a briar tobacco pipe. Black Russians eh! That why I gave up hard liquor a few years ago, withdrawal turns into even more drinking. I had major problems with hard liquor. I am still a drinker but only beer. Which is a bit easier to recover from if you've had too much.
my wife had leftover from last nite. Being Saturday I thought about it. But it would have clashed with the grits.

"E Burres Stigano"
Nearly 30 years of frequent binging has been enough. Not preaching or anything but I've reached a point where the price outweighs the fun. I still crank the tunes but the intake of all things is down to a trickle.
