This is a mad hobby.
I really enjoyed this 8 year old thread. Back from below!
I just picked up an Audio Research Reference 110SE with KT120s, gone over by AR with full warranty. Coming tomorrow.
Picked up a TASCAM 32-2 with perfect heads. 10.5" reels, nab hubs and new ATR magnetics 1/4" tape arrived. Recorded some Shelby Lynne, Patricia Barber and Dean Martin from 45 rpm vinyl at 15 ips. Tape sounds as good as the records.
Conrad Johnson MV60SE (wonderful amp) going on craigslist or audiogon. I've got to sell some stuff fast.

2x6, why are you selling the SE? It a crime really! The 901s sound terrific when listening a few rooms away.

No,no, no Bose.
Montana PBN EPS2 speakers, a pair of EP500s.
Micro Seiki table with MA505 arm, Koetsu Black Goldline cart, Parasound JC3+ phonostage, Jadis JPL preamp.
Yeah, the MV60SE. Difficult to part with no doubt.
Bose, no! Sound good!

...it was meant to be an ironic comment, with you digging out the 60's and 70's gear

I remember hearing a new pair of 901s when they first came out. They were interesting in an underwhelming kind of way.
I took no offense.
I know I have a problem ... an audio obsession problem. I could go to a shrink and pay him a lot of money and get cured, but then he'd have the money to buy audio equipment and I wouldn't. So, what's the upside of that?!?

The 901s can pound it out. They can play at 112 dB from 10 feet away...maybe more! I think that's what Bose was shooting for. Unfortunately Bose forgot that it also has to sound good. 2x6, that is very sound logic.
