    getting out of hand

    my third bedroom system is complete. E-bay Sherwood tuner for 8.00, Sony ss N220 power amp for 80.00, hopelessly old dyna pre and platter cd with black bag speakers. Sounds too damn good. Problem is, ...9 room house. Wife starting to look at me a little funny. Cat already understands.

    I hadn't seen this post before. What a beautiful quote...

    I do this mostly with software. I stopped at one of those "Half-Priced Used Bookstores" on the way back from lunch today and bought 29 cds for less than $100.00. I only found the damn thing because I got cut off in traffic.
    So, I broke into the palace
    With a sponge and a rusty spanner
    She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    Just wanted to revive the dead.

    Bought a pair of Mirage SM-3 out of curiosity for $10 a pair. These are 2way floorstanders with 1" softdome tweets and 8" woofers. Sounds pretty good, but sounds a bit boxy.

    One of my friend broke up with his girlfriend and lost EVERYTHING. For that matter, I think I'll be shopping for an old receiver that is not a black plastic box, and a CD player for under $50 and give him a little gift. This will be a nice upgrade from his old boombox. Music wise, he'll have to buy them allover again.

    Hey Jock_nc, where you are? Were you tricked into an intervention or something?

    Fergymunster!!!!! Thanks for your thoughtful advice but I must digress.

    I feel for him. Gotta be smart enough to move all your stuff out, THEN dump her. Kids these days...
