[Vintage-Audio] RE: Does anyone really care...

[Fred Olsen]

OK, Duane, OK; but it'll die right out again unless folks with a whole 
lot more to discuss than I have keep up the traffic.

Really nothing much to talk about here.  Those who know me also know 
that I'm more a test equipment freak, repair grunt, and Metrologist than 
an audiophile.  Most of our listening is casual and usually from FM via 
either a Fisher 400 or 800C into a few pairs of old ARs.  The surrounds 
on several are becoming a problem and will need attention soon or 
they'll have to join the AR 9s in storage.  She Who Must Be Obeyed has a 
tin ear and is just as happy most times with something plastic.

I still keep a decent Technics belt-drive with a Shure for vinyl and my 
trusty TEAC A-6010 open-reel.  The old girl needs heads though and I'm 
not sure what I can do about that.  There are a couple of cassette decks 
around; nothing flashy.  The (long) restoration queue is interspersed 
with some more ARs, some Heath gear, a few pieces of Harman Citation, 
and a couple of Altec 260A amps.  I haven't decided on an eventual 
preamp to use with those.

But yes, I care.
Fred
