Dancing Naked in my living room.

Well here I am today, listening in the nude, my speakers nude that is. I decided to take the grills of my TL's and watch my drivers dance along with Diamond dave and company from Van Halen followed by Def Leppard. I feel like I have been at a live concert, and watching those 16 mw's and passives strut their stuff was a blast to watch. Life is good in SDA heaven. Larry, these are just for you my friend. You really should stand up and take a bow for these. I hereby nominate you for Polkie of the Year.

You should install a stripper pole for yourself.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

Nice speakers but you have to find some better equipment to run them.

most excellent !

Nice set up John, Not to many people have the luxury of the BIG boys.

They seem to be sitting pretty close to the wall. Have you tried moving a little forward? Just wondering.Vinyl, the final frontier...
Avantgarde horns, 300b tubes, thats the kinda crap I want... -
Nice set up John...
On a different note for the vinyl guys. I realize that there are vinyl cleaning machines and the like. But why is it that when you listen to a TOP radio station in NYC--perhaps a classical station that must have HIGH END equipment, turntables and all the stuff you need to eliminate the snap, crackle and pop. That you still hear the snap, crackle and pop of the record surface???
I've been told that that can be eliminated? Then I wonder. You know the original master tapes those records are pressed from all have some TAPE-HISS on the master...it's there even if you have to 'listen' for it? I guess all I'm asking is doesn't that hinder the enjoyment of the recording at all?
No criticism intended...I just don't understand how you can FULLY clean up a vinyl surface when even as you play, dust and static electricity is forming on it again? Seems like a losing battle. An enjoyable one, but surely 'frustrating'? No?

If there is surface noise or snap crackle and pop you learn to listen past it. -
