Your not nuts. Your ears are again hearing the music the way they did when they were in really good working order, and its just your brain giving you that memory again in the present! ;} Just kidding, but most of us still like the sound we grow up listening to. Just like when you perk up when you hear that old song you loved from the past on the radio. I guess that is part of the reason I use a tube pre-amp. I grew up with Heath, AR, and CJ. Since its cold here and not much to do outside, my son and I went in the attic last Sunday to see if anything needed to be cleared out. He found some of my stored audio gear. I had forgotten I had a CJ PV7 and two Eagle Mono Blocks up there (and no its not a pull down stairs attic, its walk in storage with HVAC, no windows so it can't be used as living space). My son asked me what they did and I told him that they make great music. After I check them out, I might have to show him this weekend. Bit worried about the filter caps on the Eagles. My friend Carl tripped over and pulled one of the power cords out of the wall back in the day. We didn't notice until about 7 minutes later when one of the channels went away. Boy do these Eagles have some filter storage! -- iPhone *iPhone* 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/mephone) Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, Vandersteen Quatro, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: SB3, GFR-700HD, Thiel 2.3, Second Boom Home Office: SB3, NAD C370, two VSM-1 Home Gym: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, Thiel PowerPoint 1.2 Mobile: SB3, Audioengine A5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58618 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
