Handchecks (2020 - 2021)

Very nice. I like those retail stores. Like a big house, each room setup with different gear for you to sit there and listen/watch as long as you want. Switches to seamlessly swap from one pair to another. Cable swaps (are you kidding me) I could never hear a difference. :upside_down_face:

Hahaha, you mean audio jewelry :grin: I couldn’t tell the difference either aside from them looking cool.

Edit: that reminded me of the huge monstrosities my friend had, I only wound up with these speaker cables when he moved and the first time out if the box in years.


Never hooked them up myself, figure they would be a beast to wrangle

Lol, to think they make stands for cables is crazy…looking for a sale on ceramic cable stands now :laughing:

My friend asked me if I am going to use these cables, I told him hell no, they are so heavy they would probably pull the binding posts off my speakers!

oh, the ceramic stands = you fancy :laughing:
yeah, that is crazy, isn’t it. there are “fans” and then there are “fanatics”, a fool and his money.

hey do you have any of those 1" power cables :joy:

My favorite audio snake oil was the Shun Mook discs, I think that was the name. A friend went to an audio show and he said he went into the Shun Mook room and the guy had him listen to speakers, then put the discs on top of both speakers and listen again. My friend said they guy looked at him like wow, are you blown away? My friend said nope, sounds the same to me :laughing:

The most impressive setup I ever heard was at the Newport Beach audio show, they setup a $300k dream home theater. Wilson Audio speakers for all channels with a pair of Wilson Audio’s huge dual 18" ported subs. Krell mono blocks for all channels that were huge and a Theta Casablanca prepro. I think they actually had cable stands too lol. When they played the T-rex scene from Jurassic Park you could feel the bass in your bones, that started my bass obsession.

Sounds like a litmus test for determining ‘sucker-ability’.

/salesman
“Can you hear the difference?!!”

/customer
not wanting to appear out of their depth
“Oh wow!”

/salesman mouthing silently to their “closer”
“Hey, Skip! We have a live one!”

:roll_eyes: :laughing: :wink:

i met my wife in 92, her dad bought Stereo Review mags, he was a BIG Bose guy, lol. anyway, thats when i discovered Pro-Logic, and i had the money to indulge, so i did. anyway. i found out about the Consumer Electronics show, down town Shitcago. there was some BIG money auddio there. sadly, i didn’t get to listen much, to many people, but i did get some free wire terminals :sunglasses:. i have photos somewhere.

i was born with Hi-Fi in my blood < fact.

Saw that 3F had the Moonshot on clearance for 7.00 and thought to get one when I remembered I had one already.


Forgot what PITA it was to build on.

I enjoy the Dvarw DL FL clone nearly as much as my Lagunitas of the tap.
