And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I've a pair of JBL L96s which I bought while in the Navy. Have had them for 40 years. Still have them, but they're put away in their original boxes, as the wife does not appreciate them as part of the living room decor. I take them out every once in awhile and play my old vinyl through them.
good system. retro in spirit but new in execution. that is a Leben integrated amp and phono pre-amp with a Bel Canto DAC. a very sweet sounding system no doubt.
I have a pair of Klipsch, 3 pairs of Bose, a pair of JBLs and 3 Infinity Reference speakers. All plastic, puny things bought at swap meets or pawn shops for chump change. I should say they identify as Klipsch, Bose, JBLs and Infinity Reference. They are not the real deal.
Got a set of Altec-Lansings that are as clear and crisp as they were 45 years ago. I wonder how many things manufactured today will still be around in 45 years .
I had a set up like that 50 years ago. When I went in the service I gave my albums to a buddy to keep for me. His house burned down. I had close to 300 albums.

ReplyDeleteThose are Century 100's. Mulder approves.

ReplyDeleteJust couple weeks ago replaced the cone around my 40 some year old Bose, was easy and they sound great.

ReplyDeleteTurntable shouldn't be on the same surface as the speakers.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how good the turntable's isolation is, you're asking for vibrational feedback.
very true. good observation.
DeleteMy first thought, that would never work at all.
Delete!!! Good eye

ReplyDeleteThat setup is a big fail. The vibrations from the speakers would cause problems for the turntable.
