I was amazed at the traffic you all have. And I’ve spent a lot of my life in Los Angeles. You guys took it to another level.I wish that were possible here in Toronto. Urban sprawl for 2 hours in any direction.
Ordered two records over the phone and picked them up curbside. I don’t want Amazon to be the only thing left after this.
John VF, Your room would sure look nice in Palm Springs, more than a couple of Cody's and Weller's available.Beautiful.I'm here for the 1970's support group. I guess this is more late '60s, but if you're into your system partly for nostalgia reasons I think it would be a tone of fun to put that theme across the whole room. In my case it was going back to a time period that the world was just getting out of when I was born, but a lot of the TV I grew up with existed in this space age future that never arrived. So I made it myself, with my wife.
There's no right way to be. Shag it up, man. Groovy.

Palm Springs is what made me fall in love with mid century modern. I lived in Laguna Beach and used to spend weekends, when I could, at a mid-century themed motel in Palm Springs. Someday I hope to end up there.John VF, Your room would sure look nice in Palm Springs, more than a couple of Cody's and Weller's available.Beautiful.
It is a very strange place to be. My original motivation was to build a great audio system to enjoy listening to music. That motivation through much effort has been achieved. As my interest continued, it turned a bit obsessive with a lot of buying and selling and far too much online research about audio equipment. I have learned a lot about what I like, what I thought I liked but didn't really, and can even say I can think of a few sets of speakers, and a few receivers which I liked more than any others, any of which I would be content with. I also realized I really just want to stream music. I have tried so hard to love vinyl, and even tried to get back into cassettes, but I very quickly tire of them and just go back to streaming. The weird part is that this feeling is not coming from a place of frustration, but rather a sense of a completed journey. I love my system but there doesn't seem to be anything left to do to it.
Except that selling equipment when you're tired of it is a lot cheaper than divorce/alimony/child support. 😁the analogy that jumps out at me is dating and marriage. the audio hobby can be like dating - hoping that "this is the one." but when you do find "the one" its time to settle down. right?
me too.........Palm Springs is what made me fall in love with mid century modern. I lived in Laguna Beach and used to spend weekends, when I could, at a mid-century themed motel in Palm Springs. Someday I hope to end up there.
Well said.The satisfaction of audio like most things in life comes not so much from the destination but from the fun we have along way the way. These days I'm as motivated by different as I am by better.
Quick trip to Palm Springs last fall to visit a friend led to the unexpected pleasure of an up close open house visit to a William Cody special, The Pool House at the Racquet Club.

What a wonderful place. There's a feeling to Palm Springs that I've not felt anywhere else. It looks like 'wifey' and Francis agree!Quick trip to Palm Springs last fall to visit a friend led to the unexpected pleasure of an up close open house visit toView attachment 27060View attachment 27061 a William Cody special, The Pool House at the Racquet Club.
