"Happy To Be Stuck With You!!!"

I don’t know about you, but I can no longer afford to buy, sell, and replace different components in my audio system on a whim the way I used to. Money’s too tight. Those days are over. And it’s such a pain to go through all that selling, buying and moving stuff, etc. For quite some time, I’ve made audio purchases with every intension on keeping the item for the long haul. I’ve just had to choose wisely. Case in point: I’ve used the same speaker cables for over 15 years and still counting. Why of course, I’m not actually stuck with anything, but there is one component in my audio system that I feel confident I’ll be sticking with for the foreseeable future, and that component is my beloved Revel Salon 2 speakers. I’m sure that others have had the same experience with certain components in their system that they’ve had for years, and years with no intension on replacing. Not stuck with, but happily sticking with!!! Happy listening.

That is the same way I feel about my B&W 800 Matrix. I’ve  fell in love with the looks alone when they first came out in the early 90s when they were in the cover of Stereophe. Said to my self one day I will buy them. Bought them finally in 2016. Never even heard them until I bought them. The rest is history. Bought and sold many amps , pre , cdp , cables , but these speakers are here with me forever. They are that good.

The only component of my system that I plan on keeping until one of us dies is my Velodyne SPL 1000 sub (1st generation). I bought it new in 2000 and have used it in 2 channel and HT applications to great success. Unfortunately, my resto-mod 1978 Philips AF-877 turntable is the weak link in my humble system. I loath thinking that I want to replace it, soon. I really don't have the disposable income for a really great replacement.

If Revel speakers don’t come with 15” woofers that need fixing, I’m thinking this thread, where the train had left the station several times already, has now derailed.

this Technics combo of SP-15 Spinner, OEM base, Best Easiest Adjustable Tonearm Base/arm wand system is very hard to beat.

Exactly what I set up for my friend, works perfectly, sounds great!

 

 

this one, same SP-15 needs some wood repair rear corner, and has different tonearm base, tonearm wand does not disconnect, set height, if change cartridge, set height again, IOW, not instantly easy VTA adjustment. If not changing a variety of cartridges, it’s a good choice/price. Notice, Dust Cover a different shape.
