[Dave_1962]

False


TPBM is getting back into cassettes.

 

[Eywadude]

Nope. I haven't listened to one in over 15 years I believe!

TPBM has thought about paring down his CD collection, and then realized the insanity of such a thought.

[Dave_1962]

False

TPBM has a collector's edition CD of Pink Floyd DSOTM.

 

[harman/kardon]

False. I have the Discovery CD box.

TPBM got a bad vinyl copy of Pink Floyd's last album "The Endless River".

 

[Dave_1962]

False but I bought the CD and although I'm a huge PF fan I thought that album sucked and was derivative.

TPBM heard it from a friend and did not buy it.

 

[harman/kardon]

False-ish. I heard it from AK, bought it and was disappointed by the quality of the vinyl and the quality of the album.

TPBM thinks that the overrated 180 gr. vinyl hype should come to an end.

 

[bobsvinyl]

True. Quality control should be more important than the gram weight.

TPBM has at least one MOFI in their record collection.

 

[Hyperion]

True.

TPBM has always enjoyed the 'ritual' of putting on a vinyl disk to play.

 

[harman/kardon]

False. I remember record tragedies when I was drunk...

TPBM likes to have the original owner and service manual of a very rare gear.

 

[Hyperion]

True. (and 'bill of sale' is interesting sometimes).

TPBM won't have some gear at any price, but likes to make sure of getting the best possible condition example.

 

[Dave_1962]

True


TPBM is picky about face plate damage.

 

[harman/kardon]

True, very picky.

TPBM could not live with a rare monster receiver which got severe damaged lettering.

 

[Eywadude]

False. It's all about the sound, man! On another note: my monster Fisher RS-1080 is missing a few knobs, you got any?

TPBM has listened to a Fisher RS-1080. (And if so, tell me, because I haven't heard mine yet. It still needs to be repaired. lol)

 

[Hyperion]

False.

TPBM wonders what other's gear really sounds like.

 

[harman/kardon]

Very true.

TPBM is not interested in what the system sounds like which I mentioned in the classical music playlist yesterday.

 

[Dave_1962]

False I'm always interested in hearing gear.

TPBM has discovered (through AK) that Realistic actually made some gear worth owning and will name two pieces.
