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.

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,
Nonoise

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.

@russ69 welcome back.

For FM radio, I picked up a vintage Kenwood L-02T tuner based on this shootout
