Not including car ****.

So why all the dust collecting for some good gear? I can understand some back up units but why aren't the rest in the Flea Market?

I have a Yamaha CD plyr, a Kenwood M1d amp and an old Sansui equalizer...should get rid of some of these...but too darn busy..

Skynut · February 2006

I didn't even think about the car stuph.

Ron-P · February 2006

I don't have an "audio closet", what I do have is a drawer in our filing cabinet with only one piece of gear in it, my old Kilpsch 5.1 dts/dd decoder. I'm keeping that for backup just incase my Outlaw 950 every goes down. Other then that I don't have any extra gear, I sell it off so I can upgrade.

cfrizz · February 2006

You guys are SCARY!!!! You gotta learn to let it go!!!!

Just drawing a "white stripe" between listening loud and blasting...

My wife would like to have the closet back, I'm sure. I've actually found my brother-in-law once pulled a chair up to just stare at my stash, and kept asking, and this stuff all works?

okiepolkie · February 2006

I guess I could add that I've got a set of SDA2's just sitting in the bedroom without anything hooked up to them, so I guess they would qualify. I haven't actually heard them yet, since I am interconnectless, but they will be brought out soon.

A turn table that would skip tracks like CDP? :eek:

I'm curious..

hoosier21 · February 2006

I have zero **** equipment

scottnbnj · February 2006

i dunno. i can't remember the model #, it was probably only in the mix about a year or so and this stuff is buried. must be early 80's vintage. i can't remember, but maybe, a few hundred bucks back then with military overseas base exchange discount. so, it wasn't high end, but it wasn't insecure in the presence of cheap belt drive duals either.

it had some sort of, i think, ir sensor on the headshell and it would find the shiny part between tracks. it found the right tracks on most albums, not so great on others. i think live albums were more likely to give it trouble.

Yup.. linear tracking TT from Technics if memory serves...

And what do you know... it still serves.. at least for useless trivia like this.

It had a remote and everything. A very low power, Laser beam was used to find the space between tracks. Those sections would reflect the beam while grooves of a tune scattered the beam. Pretty clever idea... but the build quality was not great.

EDIT: TECHNICS SL-6 - Manufacture Years: 1982 - 1984

heh. heh. did i mention i had some sort of fancy component looking audio equipment timer in that closet too? maybe panasonic. and, i seem to remember that one of the cassette decks searched tracks too. maybe the pioneer, but not at all sure about that. that was another remote control job though, but with a wire.
