An Audiophile Nightmare


I woke up this morning and knew I had to share with my fellow AGoners a bit of humor only we would truly understand. Last night asleep, I was suddenly awakened by what was perhaps the single worst nightmare I've ever experienced--one of my speakers had been moved without my permission. That's right, the left speaker was off by at least 2 inches after having spent God knows how many days of precise measuring, re-measuring, and listening. Waking up this morning, I still sensed an unusual disturbance in the force until I walked into my den and suddenly realized that, yes, it was all just a horrible nightmare and that my precious center image was still intact. The relief was incredible, and my morning coffee and Wordle were like heaven!

My cleaning woman doesn’t speak a word of English.  I have given up on asking her not to move the speakers so I taped their optimal position on the floor and every two weeks spend 15 minutes readjusting.

Y'all need therapy, medication and to fire a cleaning lady.

My cleaning lady works around my speakers and gear in my small listening space. She also speaks the language(assimilated) and is a citizen. She has been cleaning our home for 15 years. She also stays away from my gun safe in the MB closet I had it open one day and she freaked out. 

 

My worst nightmare is to see the cleaning lady anywhere near one of my turntables with a feather duster.  My wife has had to peel me off the ceiling once or twice.  God only knows what happens when we are away for extended periods like now.  This is not a joke and now I wont be able to sleep tonight.

Many people had a cleaning lady here it seems...

Not surprising if they fear for their costly speakers...

Here no cleaning lady and no costlier speakers...

I fear my cleaning wife who destroyed 25 years ago my  old Beyerdynamic  T990 pro because they had too much hair on them...

It pushed me on my audio journey with the idea to replace them and improve them...

I succeed but it takes me 20 years  and with peanuts cost budget ...smiley
