Just happened to see this in an old Fine Woodworking book. I'm up for whatever you want to build.

You're just gaining valuable experience for old age. I feel that way every time I go into a different room.

I'm hoping the next M&O joint is a turntable stand, with record storage underneath. I haven't discussed this with Milo yet.

Damn, I'm telling Karen to return mine now! 😃 Saw this on FB, causes chuckles

Yup, she’s a keeper. Knows a sucker/cat whisperer when she sees/smells one.

I find myself increasingly enjoying the fiddling. It takes me back to a lost time. I'm even getting back into vinyl, partly because of the fussy nature. I like the preparation before listening. It makes it more of an event. Background music has its place, but I find myself wanting to let the music take me somewhere, not unlike when I was a teenager and would get lost in music, and the hobby of audio. I would spend a lot of time fiddling with my gear, taping sessions and so on. My friends would bring over albums and we'd spend hours listening and recording them. They learned that if they bought the album for me to keep, I'd make them a better cassette tape of it than they could buy. Music has always pulled me through life. It took me to a better place, or helped me grieve some of the things I felt I couldn't control. It kept me company before I learned how to be a social being. I guess it's an old friend.

Wait, you don't have six pairs of in-wall speakers to switch between? Can you ever call yourself an audio snob?

Pachinko!

I think that if you have a cell mate that's not the side that you need to worry about locking!

So far, in minimal testing, I would have to say the Josephson is in a whole other league compared to all my other mics.

Maybe that’s just the right-rear speaker of the surround-sound system.

This is exactly why I started my new business... T.I.C.E. Terminating Incompatible Contemporary Equipment. All you need to do is package up that pesky, unused gear, and ship it to me for proper disposal. We are a zero landfill disposal business, so you need feel no guilt whatsoever.

Also got in some of the supplies you guys recommended. The Gatorworks stand weighs about 45 pounds. Should have no proclivity to tip over like the other stupid desktop stand I have.

Marketing fails again. They should have called it the Hope Chest. Best comment: "Obviously ransomwear."

If that's not an audio store, that person has a problem.

I also have some Pro4aa bought new a few years ago (I unzip the box). Headphones had been in the store for about a thousand years. 😁 Despite being new, the inside of the pads had "volatilized" and one of the drivers was not hearing well due to dust on the pad. I was able to send them to the Peninsula (continental Spain) and with the Koss guarantee I replaced the driver that did not work. being honest ... they sound horrible and are quite uncomfortable, the plastic coating of the earpads is hard and sticks with sweat, but they are indestructible

Yep, the new cheap one. I do like the cool little hat it came with.

Well, when you put it that way.

Oh man, everytime I boot up an RPG I haven't played in a while, I find myself in some place I don't know wtf it is, why I'm there, or what I'm supposed to be doing.

ok Dr Huxtable

In the bedroom: Stax Lambda originals bought late 80's fed by KG T2 clone. An absolutely awesome headphone! In the dining room: Stax ST007 fed by original design of BH In the other bedroom: DT990 and K701 fed by original Dynalo with Borbely discrete regulators. I also have a pair of Koss PRO4AA, bought for nostalgia sake, because they were the first headphone type I bought in the early 70's. Truly lousy SQ and a real head crusher weight. And Koss ESP9, with a bias source and amp that is the biggest POS ever, but sounds good. Both pairs of Koss started life with their fluid filled pads that were supposed to seal the things to your head, that were no longer fluid filled and rock hard. Replaced by soft pads that seal well enough. The other thing that needed replacing on both Koss's was the foam cup filling, which had gone like tar. Hell of a mess to clean out.

Fantastic performance (especially Cry Me A River)

Opeth

So, in the same way that a ferret will not go into another room to use a litter box, you won't use a headphone that may be more than 10' away? Granted, the ferret backing into a corner to poop is a bit messier, but it still seems a bit lazy.

However, calling it "sexytimes" might narrow your options to Mr. Rodgers, or Elmo.

These guys are worthy -- (even if they are 12)

At our age about 20 minutes after taking the little blue pill.

When do we get "horny"?

Where is the hit Brent in the Head with a Bat reaction I requested?

You could do like I do with audio gear. Leave it out of site till you forget you even have it. After it's value goes down, then think about selling it. Then don't because its not worth the time and effort.

And lastly, this one is tuned specifically for Mick Jagger music.
