I'll miss the threads. Your threads have been the daytime soap opera of audiogon. Best of luck with the finances, but beware taking on mountains of debt, because I think the chances that the economy is truly recovering right now are very very small.
Slappys Sob Story. So long folks
Welp, this will be my final post on this board for quite some time.
I wanted to take a minuit to thank everybody for all the good info i got, and even to thank jerks like tire-guy for keeping it real. hahahaha
This will be my last post for some time, as i will not be able to enjoy this hobby for at least 6 months, and logging onto this board will do nothing but make me sad and miss my rig. Cause my Rig is about to be scrapped.

The Tale of Slappy's Rig.
Chapter 9. The end of the run.
Slappy made a bad decision that has come back to haunt.
Slappy had a roommate he was living with for 6 months. This guy was surly a few screws loose, and terminally unemployed
Slappys roommate was a dude called Ryan.
Ryan had no job, but earned social security due to a tragic event earlier in his life.
Slappy and Ryan roomed up, and things were great for about 4 months, then Ryan's Social security dried up and he couldn't find employment. It wasn't from a lack of looking around, but a lack of trying to get the job.
Slappy ended up paying this bastards end of the rent 4 times, on the last month of the lease Slappy paid his half and moved out, his roommate never paid his half, and due to Slappy shelling out a massive wad for rent and security deposit on a rental house, he had no money to cover his broke-ass friend.
Eviction came at the latter part of the last month of the lease. Ryan was a total jerk to the apartment management so they hated us. They didn't see any distinction between us because they only cared about the money, however, they sure were liberal when tallying up the total owed. It's a business after all.
Time has past and now payment is due. Slappy is engaged to get married (writes as wife though because he doesent feel like spelling out fiancée, yes, he is that lazy) and is fixing to buy their first house, a nice quaint 250,000 jobber in a rather "Well to do" part of southern Denver, a place truly worthy of his future wife.
Then it happens.
Mr. Bill collector says "total amount due NOW!"
Slappy cries "I don't have that much! I can pay in payments though! 400 a month maybe?"
Mr. Bill Collector says "No! Total due NOW! You pay NOW! Or we go to court and I garnish your paycheck! You get a big black mark on your credit! You wont get that house! Mwhahahahahah!!!!
Slappy pleads "Why don't you go after that Ryan bastard? He is on the lease too!!!?
Mr. Bill Collector coldly states "You have a good paying job, Ryan hasn't had a job in over a year. You are where the money is at, we don't care about who paid what, only that YOU PAY US"
Slappy checks with his legal services through work, sure enough, its right. Mr. Bill collector is in his rights to demand full due to the nature of the debt.
Slappy realizes that he must sacrifice his precious hardware or he wont get the house.
Later that evening, while Slappy is at work, he posts his stereo up for sale. Please forgive me fellow audiogoner's I need the money FAST, posting here wont get it sold in time. Shipping is a problem too.
Slappy posts his modest rig at work for sale for 3,500.00, a cool grand over the needed amount for the bills. But a good 2,200 below what he paid for it.
If nobody buys, he bought a bunch of gear from a major retailer less than a month ago that he bought with money received from selling all his Deftech speakers. He can return the gear and have most of it, but will still need to sell gear piece by piece to get the rest.
And thus, the demise and complete dismantling of Slappys rig is under way..
Slappy knows it the apartment situation was not his fault, but it WAS his responsibility, and is willing to pay the debt.
Its ok though, come january im going to rebuild my system. It will be faster. It will be smarter. It will be cleaner. And it will be good. And there will be Electrostats.
Peace out folks! Thanks for the fun!
See ya in january
