Welcome Don - you've certainly got a classic case of the disease that we address here! Happy therapy.

Great Googa-Mooga! That's quite a collection of equipment~



WELCOME to ya; you got audiophile issues as bad as (or worse than) me!

Yeah, that sounds nice. Post pics.

Yep some pics would be nice. Welcome to the forum

Thanks Guys. Yeah, I do drive my wife crazy as I am sure some of you do. In addition, the Carvers and Legacy's do not hide themselves very well except when singing. I regret putting in volume controls in each room. Everytime she enters a room, the volume control goes counterclockwise if you know what I mean. Although I love my audio, not real computer literate. When someone gets a chance, tell me how to post pictures in layman terms and I will try and get them up in the next day or two.

Welcome Don,
Philosphical question: would you trade your entire "fleet" of systems (and have to start from scratch) for a wife that was 100% onboard with your musical passions (e.g., never tell you your music was "too loud" and turn it down, etc.)??
Part II: same trade, but this time you keep your current wife; she is just changed to be 100% onboard with your musical passions.

Elgrau,

I am going to have to plead the 5th on that one. However, this thought immediately comes to mind "If Momma ain't happy, no one is."

Welcome Don!

Your last quote shows me that you understand woman better than 90% of men. I feel the same. You might want to try my approach which is "but honey, amps & speakers are like shoes & bags" Works for me!

"but honey, amps & speakers are like shoes & bags" Works for me!

I´ll try that one.
I´m being donated a second rotel cd player next year. (RCD?) 965.
"So you´ll be selling your current one then?" Noooooo.

I can come back with "so you´ll be throwing out those other shoes honey?"

Welcome Don.

Nice rig(s),,, welcome Don.

Don,

What a nice collection of gear, welcome to this great place.

You got it Brit01, that is exactly how it works.

You have some great gear, and will enjoy this forum of Carver addicts.
