My good friend Yog has some hand me down equipment from my experiments into the high end over the past 2 decades, a Technics SL-1200MK2 which I bought on Ebay new for $250 when some guy had about 100 of them, there were tips here on Audio Asylum about that. I gave him Audes Excellence 1 Speakers, a Musical Fidelity integrated and CD player + Polk PSW650 subwoofer.
He usually comes by to hit the bong (I own two bongs but don't smoke weed, just the usual gentlemen manners, when you have friends that want to smoke weed, you provide the bongs during listening sessions). I also provide the lighter.
He loves Death Metal and Electronica, so that's his setup. Just thought I would share, so many of us go through equipment like changing socks, it is good giving it to good friends who share the love of sound.
Follow Ups:
You are a good friend indeed! I love the setup. Technics TT, a purist indeed. I am loving the shelving for his albums.. That is my next purchase and that one is very cool!
Thanks for sharing
Jim
Very cool to see a true music lover's setup. He came by his audiophile hobby honestly (via a friend through their shared love of music).
Death Metal and Electronica = Tangerine Dream's Rubyicon album? Hmmmm. Between Lord Vader, the Dalek, and that album that he has on his rig, I'm going to say your friend seems like a pretty cool guy.
Plus "True Norwegian Black Metal" on the shelf.
And is that a light saber in the corner?
Happy listening,
Jim

He was the music director at our college radio station, I used to hang out in our radio station, but never knew about so much of the music world as he did, he taught me a lot, I appreciate our friendship. He is the most chilliest friend I have, and I only have three friends.
You just don't know what we all look like.
Happy listening,
Jim

bullethead,
You're a good friend indeed :-)
But tell me, where did you get the Dalek?
Cheers,
SB
I have no idea, I didn't buy that :)
What's a Dalek?
An evil alien life form whose goal in "life" is to kill you, and to kill anything that is not Dalek. Or... a pepperpot on wheels. :-)
I was not aware of Dalek, they seem very set in their ways with only one mission.
I have some free time, might check out Dr Who to see what that show was about. They don't make shows like they used to apparantely, besides the underground YouTube independent film makers.
I don't have a TV, but I have a projector, are or is this a show or a particular movie of Dr Who I should check out? Excuse my ignorance,
Dr. Who reruns play on BBC America, maybe you can get episodes online? Or one of the streaming channels? Pretty darn good, my friend.

Get that Dalek off the LPs! :)
Looks like a fun little setup!
And that would be Vader (in the black cape) on the left speaker. Room treatments, of course.
Nice tidy rig. Needs an FM tuner.

That's cool. I recently set up a friend with a turntable and new cartridge, after his many visits to my house listening to records. He repeatably thanks me.
