Apartment Drama

Long overdo update. Sold the big floorstanders, bought some Grado cans and a tube amp and couldn't be happier. And the neighbor is still an ass !

See, you should have kept your system the way it was and %^&* the neighbor!!

Yea! What does Liz know.

I, like Liz, live in a Senior development. Been here for 21 years this year. I've had a music system ever since I moved in. Sometimes I play at pretty high volumes.  I communicate with my neighbors from time to time to ask them if my music ever bothers them. Almost all of them tell me that they never hear it. So ... all is good. But then it occurred to me that most of my neighbors are so old they can't hear well.

That's what happens when you live in a Senior development where the average age is deceased. 

david99, I am sorry to hear it. I understand, you cannot really move. People are different. I used to have a neighbour below who was a nice man playing bass guitar from time to time. When he was doing it more than, say, two hours straight, I knocked on his door and said that that was enough for today. But next day I could blast the damn building with Mahavishnu Orchestra and he was silent. But I never play loud music longer than one record at a time, and I mean at a daytime and early evening. When he recently moved, not because of me, some quiet people moved in. Well, sometimes they make some noise by jumping or whatever, I don't care because it doesn't last long. But yeah these modern apartments are built like shacks in this respect, many old ones too, by the way.
