I Have A Sickness

Hey Now,

That's cute. You really didn't think you were the only one with an affliction?

Finest kind,

If you think you're sick, watch an episode of Hoarders, it will make you feel better.

I think you're doing fine.. If you're looking for help, you came to the wrong place, this is a mutual admiration society, not a support group.
 
Admitting you have a problem is the first step.
Some of us live in denial and never think we have issues.
I watch that Hoarder show and see stuff I need.
 
LOL yes I think a lot of us share that sickness. My pile is growing once again too..

How about some pics and info on the Realistic turntable. That is a Lab 400 correct? Its been on my watch list.

Its a lab 420. It's my 1st turntable. I got it free on craigsllist this past summer. It had a bad cartridge (no left Chanel). I swapped the needle into a complete Pioneer shell I got from an old turntable my mom has and it was good to go. That turntable is what got me hooked.

I really like Realistic. Seems like there is a lot of it around here to be found cheap and it seems to be decent quality. There is a pic of my Realistic Mach II 's. Those where my first pair of big vintage speakers. Picked them up for $15 at a garage sale about 10 years ago before I got addicted. Also my 1st refoam job. I gotta pat myself on the back because they turned out perfect.

faber12, yes those Realistic T-100's sound good. However the Advent Prodigy Tower's next to it sound better....a lot better. It could be the positioning. I haven't had time to set up my room for sound yet. I'm planning to get myself some shelving for Christmas and move some things around.

Time for an intervention at AA (Audioholics Anonymous) with you center stage, pliskin.

My addiction overwhelmed my good sense and things began to pile up here as well...
Well, I fell off the wagon today. Marantz speakers that need foam (didnt know Marantz made speakers until today) and a Fisher ca-120 with cool VU meters. And this neon art picture that turns out is really rare. Apparently it has a bunch of hidden messages in it.

Nice! Marantz made some really good, underrated speakers. I have pair of Imperial I's that are one of my favorite vintage speakers, even making it into my main system for a while. Now, they're in a secondary system amongst my large collection of gear.

I think I've seen that poster before. Not with neon in it though. That's really cool.
