Why no Virtual System pics??

@tomic601 , ok buddy, now you’re just showing off. Those Treo’s In your condo are simply gorgeous!
I’d like to add too that no one should be ashamed of their system here and no one with any class would ever put someone else’s system down; I’m not saying that I haven’t seen it happen, I’m just saying that no one with any class would do so.

As for getting a middle finger in the 911, I would actually consider that as an offer 😂. Who really cares what anyone thinks, your driving a 911 👍

The 911 does not attract the scorn the prancing horse does.... but there are still A holes the world over...

B_Limo my Parents got me hooked when I  was 4 with some gear pictured here... and Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra...

@tomic601 , thats awesome!  Great parents 😀

I was raised by a single parent, my Mom.  She supported my audio hobby at age 12 and would drive me to my 2 different local brick and mortar stores any time I wanted.  They are still in business here in Colorado Springs.  The Sound Shop and Listen Up.  I was mesmerized at a young age by the high end rooms in the basement of Listen Up’s old location.  I bought my entire first system with the help of my single Mother, who was really struggling to just put food on the table at the time, yet she found a way for me at age 12 to piece together a close to $2,000 system.  I learned at an early age the importance of speaker placement, quality speaker cable and an amp with high current.  I had a pioneer laser disc player at age 12!
My hats off to the parents that support their children in this hobby!

Sorry that this was off topic but I wanted to share 😁

Very beautiful and touching story indeed...

When I was 12 years old I delivered each days the newspaper to the doors of all my neighbours... This was my first job.... We were also very poor without even a bath for 4 children..... But my mother let me with the newspaper money bought my first stereo system, a turntable and speakers integrated in a wooden furniture.... That was paradise....My first vinyl was military music, it was not my choice it come with the purchase.   :)


It seems we had some common ground with motherhood....
