I'll welcome myself back after a brief hiatus
Well, guys I completely lost my hearing in one ear so I ending up putting all my stereo rigs in the closet. Then I started to think about a mono rig. I stacked my Lintons from my TV setup on top of each other and it worked out pretty good. So I ordered a Tekton Perfect Set 2-12. Mostly because its a big box and has the tweeter at ear level. Now I had something. I’m still playing around but I’m running with a Antique Audio six-pac and a cheap Parasound preamp for now. so far so good.
"Think of those early days before FM radio and you liked to ride in the car and listen to AM. " For me it was my Dad’s mono rig. A small Bogen tube integrated, a 45 player, and A University coax in a custom cabinet (think 1950s). Dang thing took two people to move it. He played Also sprach Zarathustra at full volume until the cat that was sleeping in the huge port of the speaker came running out! Petty sure that’s what get me started with HI-FI.

@russ69 no words to say, except my total empathy and hope that your mono set-up gives you pleasure. I wish you well.
@baylinor I have read and enjoyed many of your responses to these threads over the years. I have always respected your opinions and also your kindness. But I will have to say after reading about your injuries and the physical and mental challenges that you had to endure, and ultimately rise up from is nothing but miraculous and commendable. Most would have fallen like cards. |
Thank you for your more than kind comments. It wasn't easy at the start, it took me 3 months to learn how to walk again. Even if my life changed forever, I was always blessed with multiple talents and found new ways to go through life without any more sports activities. It also got me ready to face my seventies which I entered 4 days ago :) |
@russ69 welcome back to the audiophile fold Agree it is important to keep a positive outlook as we age and our bodies eventually fail us…in this life. I’m 64 and have to attend weekly traction and chiropractic for my back spinal degeneration, or my back muscle spasms/cramps. Only other alternative is surgery which is especially scary from knowing Warriors Steve Kerr years of post back surgery pain/problems. |
