Not talkin' footware here, we're talkin' basic, enabling electronic circuitry for the "digital revolution". 100 years old this month! I didn't even send a card :p

    I thought this thread would be about those things you wear on your feet that trip and try to kill you.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Imagine making politics your entire personality.

    100 years old and it hasn't caught fire yet! B)

    Goes to show you, some designs just work right forever.

    Makes me think of that light bulb in that Firehouse that still burned for over 100 years I think. It might still be burning bright.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
