    Huge Sansui Speakers??

    What’s great about opinions of “good”, is that you also get to decide how good they are. Your opinion on what you like is just as valid as everyone else’s!

    Young people, none of them are into hifi.

    I just finished dumping my entire audio collection over 2 years. 500+pieces. More than 75% of the buyers were under the age of 30, and at least 25% were in their teens. This experience leads me to conclude that young people will carry Hi-Fi far into the future.

    Has your sleep become worse since Covid?

    My sleep is a tad bit better. Mortality has really smacked me in the face these last few years. I’ve made some crucial life decisions recently and my sleep has become more restful, and the “sleepwalking through life” has ended. I’m 44 years old, I will no longer be a spectator in my own life...

    HOW DO YOU STORE YOUR VINYL?

    HOW DO YOU STORE YOUR VINYL? I get so bothered by the cardboard album covers, they go. Then for the sleeves, like the movement of sliding them in and out doesn’t scratch the hell out of them :rolleyes:, toss those too. So mine are strewn about on my floor. Unless you meant how do I store...

    Ampex Preamp/Tuner 0118 or 550?

    That is an amazing confirmation! Thank you. I have often considered just snipping that wire, but admittedly I get zero bleed through so I just leave it as is and never use the tuner.

    Ampex Preamp/Tuner 0118 or 550?

    Resurrection of this old thread to say... The Ampex 550 preamp is one of the very best simple preamps I’ve ever experienced!!! I LOVE the phono section and the line input (Extra) sounds lovely with my McIntosh CD player. it’s exceptional!

    J Lo and This Land Is Your Land

    I discovered her way late... I watched that movie with Bradley Cooper, and it was completely evident that she is incredibly talented... so I gave her some listen time, I paused pre-judgements, and now own most of her albums. Keep the music discovery alive and you’ll live forever!

    J Lo and This Land Is Your Land

    I’m so excited so many AKers like Lady Gaga... I’ve always hesitated to say anything about her here. I figured I would be chided before anyone gave her any listen time. I think Amanda Gorman stole the show though... absolutely powerful!

    Heresy II

    Lets pretend that $700 is 100-200 over local market value... so what! You like them, you want them. Now let’s pretend that you buy them, you treat them well, but in 3 years you want to try something else and you can only sell them for $500... What other hobby can you enjoy for a $200 lease...
