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.
@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. |

Welcome back @russ69. Sorry to hear about your hearing loss but the steps you've taken so far are more than making up for it. Adapting to a situation takes a discipline that some find hard but you're on the right track. Determination, too, helps to overcome that feeling of loss and to put it behind you. Eventually, the conditioning you put yourself through with this process will make it so that how you now hear will seem normal and satisfying enough that you won't notice the loss. Everything will become second nature and you can go on enjoying the music. All the best, |
Well I'm still playing with my mono rig. I had Mike Sanders build a MID-MONO amp for me with the beautiful Tesla EL-34s. Bought a Schitt Kara preamp to run the thing without getting up. Put my Velodyne 12 inch HGS in the loop. I'm spending many hours listening to my favorite FM station, KTBX Tubac, AZ. |
