Any funny audiofile stories???


Over the holidays my girlfriend and I went to visit her former neighbors.I had never been to there home before.We were having a drink and great conversation when the gentleman turned the TV off and put in a CD.We continued our conversation but my attention kept drifting off to the music.It was a solo acoustic guitar.Finally after about 2 songs I interupted everybody and I said What are we listening to?The gentleman told me(Brook Williams-Little Lion)Then upon scanning inside his entertainment stand I noticed handles on his components.Now my interest was really peaked.I interupted again and asked what kind of equipment he had.He had some old Carver gear,but the sound was actually pretty sweet and definetely a cut above mass market junk.From this point on you can probably guess what the topic of discussion was.If you guessed gear and music your right.That night I got a crash course on some outstanding folk material,I didn't even know existed.All of the titles he played that night were excellently recorded.We left that night(I had a list of new CD's to buy)and my girlfriend was shaking her head,and said just what you needed an excuse to buy more music.Life is Good.

Geez Krelldog that's not funny, i'm envious as hell. My neighbor has a bose system driven by Pioneer receiver from the 80s. He lives in one of those modular, do it yourself homes, and the chassis underneath has a resonant frequency of about 2.8khz as far as I can tell. He's screwed those bose right into the aluminum superstructure. His wife's (my wife's best friend) favorite is Celine Dion and well...when she reaches that high A (every other bar) ....I think it could sink a ship. There isn't a dog left in the neighborhood.

Sincerely, I remain
