New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps?
Recently I have experienced quite a few people I know either passing on or being diagnosed with some type of cancer. And as I have never strived to be the richest guy in the graveyard, I was thinking of buying one of the new Corvettes. I also started to look at my older tube amps, good, but I had had them for about nine years, and the whole tube thing....then I started to think about some SS amps( I know, I’m going to hell). TAD M600, Dagostino M400, and then ventured into Dartzeel territory. Long story shorter: I came upon a pair of used Dartzeel 458’s, totally crazy price, totally crazy good. I have had them about a month and have enjoyed over 100 hours of listening nirvana. Had I bought the vette and drove it 100 hours, I’d have lost my drivers license, and spent thousands on tires, fuel, fines, etc.
myth buster: it’s all worth it! Expensive power and speaker cables, interconnects, speakers, and Dartzeel 458’s.
Anyone that tells you otherwise is using cost not quality as a determining factor.

When I retired in 2017, I had my eye on a used Vette that had extremely low miles. I wanted it so bad but remembered the last sports car I owned and how many tickets I got while driving it. It was also a magnet for the Police. My insurance went up sky high at the time. My wife and I had a deal that when I retired I could get the sports car I wanted up to 40-45K. I came to my senses and bought 6 gently used McIntosh components for both systems, plus new racks for both systems as well. I saved a tiny bit of money, but I can use the systems every day which I do where the Vette would have only been driven in the Summer months. Add the price of maintenance and insurance and I know I made the right decision. My dad always told me, no matter how bad you want something, walk away and think about it for a day or two. He was so right in this case. |
@[email protected] you guys in the Cannabis business? So you read an article, scientific no less and you believe everything. Let me tell you something, I have indulged regularly for just about 50 years and still do. I enjoy it and it is NO different than kicking back with a beer or to or whiskey, etc. I think you get the jist. CBD oil has been a Godsend to me as my body is loaded with Arthritis and because of that I had to retire at 63 1/2 years old. My job was very strenuous and a lot of manual labor. I was the head custodian in a very large elementary school K-5 with enrollment of over 900 kids. I was all alone. Winter was the worst, some days I was outside all day during snowstorms. Had CBD Oil been available then, I would still be working. It has enabled me to do things now that I have not been able to do for the past 10 years. This is an audio forum, please discuss this subject elsewhere. |
The Torque in the 4 electric motors (one for each wheel) will probably take all the air out of your lungs. I’m with you, electric sports cars are the future with better reliability. As battery manufacturing matures, in the near future you will be able to get 1K miles between charges. The less moving parts the better so less is more is true in this case. |
