A Lucky Streak!!

I responded to an ad on Kijiji, vinyl for sale. Turns out this fellas grandpa died, and it was his collection. I pulled out a few titles, covers beat up a bit but vinyl looking literally mint. Not all the best pressings but none less than 120g, respectable. Here's the thing, he had Neil Young's Decade, original Canadian pressing, all 3 LPs mint. He also had Tom Waits Asylum Years, both LPs also mint. I mean they look like they've never been used, not even a fingerprint.

The Neil Young and Tom Waits are HUGE scores. I tossed him a 20 and he looked at me all crazy. I thought, oh boy, how much does he want....

I was wrong, he asked how much out of the 20 I wanted to pay. I laughed, out of respect to his grandad, an obvious music fan, I gave him the 20. He told me he thought I would pay 0.25 for each!! I just couldn't do it, felt wrong.

He also had a pile of his G-dad's stuff laying around in his garage, with the vinyl. Of course, a pile of gear. He saw my interest and tro make a long story short, I scored a pair of Theatre Audio CSJ-100 by Pioneer. Never heard of them but they're a fine looking pair of bookshelves. I offered him 30 and we had a deal.

There it is in a nutshell folks. The speakers sound great!!

Anyhow, alot of blabbing to simply say, I'm having a hell of a week!!
