Architectural Digest finally shows audio gear!

@oldhvymec 

There was simply no need for comments about anyone’s appearance. I try not to participate in threads where things can go off the rails: politics, sexism, religion, etc. I initiated the thread merely to show that a system did make it in to Architectural Digest as I recall previous discussions of why weren’t systems ever depicted.

Its pretty clear in the photo that a dual mono Nagra stack and a turntable along with  Devore O96 speakers constitutes a serious system. I would imagine they moved speakers out of the way for a photo shoot but at least the system was pictured.

Your editorializing about Mr. Carter’s wife was unfortunate. Whether your opinion of the decor or the system quality is relevant or not isn’t out of line in the least. Just the sexist comments are. I look the other way though and give you the benefit of the doubt that your automatic assumption that he was from SoCentral LA/Compton because his fortune originated in Hip Hop or whether any mention of San Quentin was necessary in an archtectural thread. You seem like a great guy, youve worked hard, you have a passion for music and gear…I enjoy your frequent stream of consciousness posts…we are not on opposite sides of any issue of which I am aware. With that said, I don’t find sexism, even accidental sexism disguised as locker room banter, funny in the least and wish it had no place on Audiogon. Peace.

Well … He’s really only sucking up to his forum idol !

Again I don't care what you think.. Do you understand that. When I need YOU or anyone else on this planet to correct ME for my views of HER BOTTOM, or Quentin, I'll ask for it. I did NOT. She has a wonderful BOTTOM, you don't like my saying so TOUGH!!

It ain't gonna stop my opinion or the fact that EVERY chance she gets to shake that money maker she doses. For a lot of MONEY. The only thing that whole crowd cares about other than THEM not being the victim of their own spew.. IS MO MONEY. 

I'm pretty sure in a case, My opinion vs her bottom, 12 people would say, that her bottom use to be the talk of the town, still may be for all I know.. AND me saying so is exactly what the whole idea was, not her voice, HER BOTTOM. From what I remember she spent MOST of her time aiming that thing AT THE audience.

Sexism, who ever dreamed up that word. How do you think you got here someone let a rooster walk by and chicken lay an egg. Sexually oppressed what are you Vulcan or something, ONCE every 7 years..

As for any thing else I've EVER said that is none of you business either. BTW that goes 100% the other way too. 

His "Office and sound system" still SUCK for a music man.. Maybe you have as bad of taste as he does.

I gotta go out and castrate some goats. Slow ones first.. Come on over buddy, we'll bite off a few the old fashion way. You think you can hang? LOL

Next thing won't be able to talk about the Birds and the Bees, What the heck do you think the BLUES is all about? Makin' bread. I'm a Handsome Cave Man and don't forget it.. I act like one too.. So WHAT?

@oldhvymec 

All I was trying to communicate is that this thread was about gear or architecture. There are plenty of threads where no one cares what gets posted. This isn’t one of those. 

Ok I get now. His place sucks for a music guy. Disregard the rest if you want, about her big ol BOTTOM. I consider it a work of art.. From an architecture point of view, I'd say it's pretty symmetrical. Definitely make a good model to chisel out of stone. I'd sure like a full size sculpture. Come through my front door that is what I would get to see. I'll take one for every room.. :-)
