Have you ever got emotionally attached


To a piece of equipment. One that you dont want to part with. For me its an old pair of OHM I speakers. Bought in 82. Ive upgraded them and just like them. They have their own sonic signiture that Im used too. OK I'll admit Im biased. Three of the drivers are on top and pointed upwards. The sound does not directly come at me and Im used to it. I have 2 Watkin echo muffs behind them. Any way I see them as the part of the system that actually sings to me. I also tried a much touted newer speaker and sold it a year later. If anyone wants to give me a $5000+ speaker I'll try it but I might be sending it back too you. I also wished I hadnt sold my Tandberg 3018A preamp. I thought it looked pretty cool and sounded great. mike

it's difficult for me to get emotionally attached to an inanimate object, but , i understand that some people get attacged to items that have been passed down from generations. whether that it is emotional or some other behavior, i have no clue.
Are you kidding? This is what this site is all about, no matter what is admitted. I had such a reaction resurrecting my 30+ year old Frazeir Concertos from storage this year. My best friend has my Totem 1s. I visit them from time to time, when no one is looking I stroke them affectionately.
I find myself trolling ebay for a 3020, will I find my past?
I see im not alone. It seems like I've been married to my speakers for so long my opinions are biased. I broke up with my speaker (her) for a while thinking the other speaker (new girlfiend) would be hotter. Went back to my ex !!. Thanks for the responses.
-RW- If you happen to check back on this thread, I have fond memories of my neighbor's Jubals. I even horned in on a sales pitch some chump was making for Bozak speakers. The store carried JBL and I was the dick steering some clueless customers toward the Jubals. Sorry, but the cutting edge Bozaks with aluminum cones sounded, might I say, "tinny". Jubals were warm, rich and had pretty damn good resolution.
