Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home?


I agree that I do not want a preamp or speaker coated with a film of smoke, but I am confused as to what a child or pet could do that would not be otherwise visible. You would see the cat scratches on the speaker grill, the dog chew marks on the rack, the iguana turds in the amplifier cooling vents. And what's a little dog hair among friends? As a 3 year old, I supposedly put my finger through my grandfather's new DIY speaker but I'm pretty sure he replaced the drivers so even that doesn't really matter. Most things will be visible and/or easily remedied.  Maybe the price will even be a little lower because of the cosmetics. If it doesn't mess with function, not a big deal to me.

What concerns me more is does it come from a drunk-free, drug-free home.  I think befuddled owners are far more worrisome than pets or children.

When a cat (especially a former feral one) chooses you and attaches herself to you, that is pure love...

 

When i was 18 years old, i had a cat, very savage non tamed one who only sleep in my bed and lives outside... He once attacked viciously my uncle sleeping and trying to approach him... I was sad for the bloody hands of my uncle but proud of my savage cat...😊

He accepted only me and came time to time in my room for sleep and eating...

He died going back in my room in a winter night waiting for me in the morning before sunrise. He died by a 35 celsius below zero in a car motor of my neighbour and badly hurted and as a block of ice when i discovered him weeks later under the snow...

I like cat...

But my last cat was 30 years ago...

i always also had dogs and with the children and two dogs i never owned another cat... I fear that if he was free he will be hurted and it is not fun nor easy to keep a cat in jail...

Dogs are more easy to tame and dogs are more willing to be tamed...

 

Takes a mate with me to the health of all mighty cats... 😊

I am happy to read that you did not do a Kristi Noem job on your cat.

My attempt at rhyming humor.  I wrote:

”I think ending future ads with this might draw some extra interest?  What do you think?

“Stereo equipment in a Smoke free, Woke Free, Hot Trophy-wife home,” :)

 

I figured people might want to come over hoping my wife would be there.  It’s just a tag line, nothing more.  Don’t make too much out of it, unless you really want to…
