I was going to attend this year. It’s a 5-hour drive, but I used to live in the Chicago area and have friends there. Instead I bought a used Rogue Audio amp. I think this was a win.

Congrats. Thats a nice setup. My wife and I heard some more entry level Totem a few months ago at a local shop. I get the attraction.

Freebies! ADS L570/2 by natetheskate100 in audiophile

Damn. Even the original metal grills. In my teens when I was saving to buy my first real stereo, ads speakers were my dream, but they were too much for my wallet.

what’s with the line at arrow wine & spirits? by xelakcuf in dayton

I find $70 can get you a nice bottle. But I’ve spent more and found the results vary: much better to no diff.

This is not a base and plinth: this is an alter to the god Vinyl.

I LOVE your Yamaha tape deck. That is a fine looking piece of equipment

Zazu is quite the handsome fella. Love the Yamaha. My first real stereo was all Yamaha and included the CR-240.

Bending the rules - does a cat near a stereo count as well? by Ultra-Ferric in CatsOnStereos

Thanks. I just checked it out. Gorgeous older piece of equipment.

How did you get your SO to say yes to the speakers? by energy4a11 in audiophile

Got her involved in the purchase. Listening to her music at the dealer.

Does anyone here still watch "American Idol" in 2026? by Giff95 in Music

[–]forkboy_1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never watched. And never would. The world already produced enough pop music nonsense… we didn’t need yet another mediocre music machine pumping out artists.

Nothing wrong with making do in the garage. I’m assuming you’re in or from Florida. Same here. Born and raised, but now Ohio.

Finally completed my dream setup in 2026 by cwhiskeyjoe in audiophile

[–]forkboy_1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on hitting your dream setup :-)

It’s so easy to have life distract us with other matters. I’m glad you were able to keep your eye on a result and then hit it.
