Oh, by the way, I still have my Sansui 350 and Pioneer PL-A25 with the top of the line Lafayette speakers. Should I consider trading these in too??? What sounds best to you folks? Thanks again...
members and their systems
for the short time I have been on here, I see that members will start a thread asking about a certain piece of equipment or speakers.. they will then buy that piece of equipment / speakers, start a thread about it saying how good it is and then next thing you know, they are starting another thread asking about another piece of gear as they are looking for something different. what happened to that piece of gear that was so great ?
i get the whole buying thing....but where are members getting the money to do all of this stuff ? do they not have other bills such as rent / mortgage payment, car payment, other bills to pay for also ?

The new 992 has the most head and leg room, AP fits in it easily and he is at least 6ft. Only problem, their entire MY21 allocation is already filled for some models. Or so I have heard. Not quite ready to order mine so don't know for certain yet but it sure looks like at least the C4S is sold out through the end of the year. I know, it is a surprise, finding quality Porsche content on an audiophile site. It's not the site. It's just me. Being me. |
992 is way too big and complicated and all turbos. 991 was too big for that matter and had a ridiculous looking sunroof when open. I like the 997.2- no IMS problems. Regular in line 6, sunroof, etc. I know .... that what the purists said when the water cooled ones came out in ‘99. if you want a new one, get a Cayman or Boxster. I think you can get a 6 cylinder model, non-turbo. |
When the 996 came out it was head and shoulders a better car than any 911 that came before. But it was different. So it caught flack. The iconic 911 door closing sound was gone. I complained about this to an older more experienced Porsche man. "That’s nothing!" he said, "You should have seen it when the 911 came out! The 356 was entirely made by hand, the 356 guys would say the door closed like a bank vault, the 911 you have to slam it." The 992 is the best Porsche. Until the next one. https://youtu.be/bXRyy-RBuzc?t=565 Watch when he changes from Sport to Normal, you can see the ride go smooth on the video. 322kph. 200mph. Fizz in the pants. https://youtu.be/bXRyy-RBuzc?t=793 |
I’m sure it is better, just like the 996 was better than the 993. Just not my cup of tea. I wish they made a Cayman with a sunroof (which I know doesn’t fit without really reducing headroom). I’ve gone from 996 (C4) to 997.1 (S) to 997.2 (GTS). These are like planes as you know, no need to change every 4-5 years. I’ve driven the 991 and 992. I think they are getting too big, like the 928 did. And the sunroofs are a disaster from a looks standpoint. Everyone knows the Cayman is the best handling Porsche, and I might add most fun, I just can’t live without a sunroof and don’t want a cab I can only use a few months a year without freezing or burning. There are worse things in the world than driving a 10 year old (and counting) 911. |
