Audiophile Crap

[dorian gray]

probably sounds like total shit in that room

 

[lurch70]

curtains and a rug could solve that ...

 

[Krilons Resa]

well, yeah.

 

[lurch70]

but not the curtain you have in your room

 

[Krilons Resa]

 

[dorian gray]

clocks have also been known to cause unwanted reverberation

 

[Krilons Resa]

Lurch, just get that Denon micro system I got a while back and be done with it.

 

[lurch70]

then I might as well stick with the $30 PC 3pc. system I have.

 

[Vittra]

buy a receiver and speakers and keep the PC in the mix

add a turntable at a later date if you wish

oh yes, don't forget a healthy sprinkling of longing for that dream hifi system that will do you absolutely no fucking good and...

 

[Krilons Resa]

lol @ vittra

but srsly lurch....do the denon. at least try it out...youll be surprised. what are you trying to spend?

 

[lurch70]

bidding on this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/23073071950...DX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1426.l2649#ht_532wt_1396

$1700 MSRP .... what are the chances of me getting this for $150 shipped?
looks like a lot of people are dumping these pre-HDMI processors but it would make a killer pre-amp for 2ch. use.

Ken ... integrated amp on the cheap ...

what do you think this guy means with his "warm up" time?

 

[lurch70]

so the seller writes me back ...
"it always comes up eventually. id say it takes btw 15m and 24h to do so. but i just leave it on, so never impacts me. let me know if you'd like to see it. oh, and no cosmetic issues."

24h???

but still $70

 

[Vittra]

musta pissed on it while drunk or something

24 hour activation time, awesome

 

[Krilons Resa]

have him turn it off far a while before going over to see it. i have a feeling its just him being an audiophile nerd.

 

[lurch70]

i don't think he's a nerd ... otherwise he would try to sell it at a high price still.

but i haven't heard of equipment that turns one whenever it feels like after the power is on.?!??!

 

[Krilons Resa]

not to turn on...to "warm up." he's a nerd.

 

[Vittra]

why isn't this audiophile supernerd selling his stuff on audiogon?

 

[lurch70]

hahahh ... i'll have to email him and clarify.

 

[einride]

sounds to me like he's trying to sell you some broken ass shit
