...submitted for your...


This popped up on my phone this AM...

Now, since this has been an 'off 'n on' topic of late, Mikes' MHO vid pretty much encapsulates the general ennui expressed over B&M shops fading away, the high and rising cost of 'our level of quality equipment', and all the reasons and rationales for the SOTA becoming 'out of reach' for all except the most dedicated 'philes.

And Yes, a run-on sentence that isn't my usual terse twaddle.

So be it; lets' have fun with this, please.

If extinction is to be our lot, we can afford to be noisy about it. ;)

Rant 'n rave, dear friends.

@asvjerry - The Punch Line is what used to be the backstage dressing room at the Old Waldorf. The performance part of the club was turned into offices of some kind. It was called the Old Waldorf because they kept the name from a previous location, which I think was around Divisadero, in a much older building; I was there once... 

@larsman , I’d heard of a previous site, but never had the pleasure...

Probably from those ’60’s when I was in my teens, wondering and curious about the ’goings on’ in the Bay....
Got a brief glimpse when a family friend took us for a daytrip to The City from Watsonville, and drove down Haight on a return loop from GG Park.

It was a sunny Saturday postnoon with all the creatures out, about, and likely from any state and in any state.... Quite Rightly a Scene, bound to be the very next phase....

And was, but not there, in that time nor that spaced. ;)

@asvjerry - queue up Jefferson Airplane's 'Saturday Afternoon/Won't You Try' - sounds like that kind of day! 👍

*L*  Precisely, and in the correct local focal locus for it.... ;)

Even as just an 'absurder', it was somethin' to see...

I guess it's a good history lesson for newcomers. I thought you could get an entry level integrated amp with a streamer and a pair of speakers and decent speaker cables for a couple grand (or maybe less). Am I wrong? Most people think that is exhorbitant.
