Anybody willing to admit?

hey bob

hold up

I actually have a functioning 8 track player
and an old reel to reel and a wind up victrola I play 78's on (complete with wood speaker)

I would gladly pay shipping on some 8 tracks
what style of music?
maybe tireguy and I can split the collection
his parents get the welk, i get the stones and beatles ;-)

anyway _ I always have to have new material to listen to
and constantly am buying ear candy
I buy cd's (new and used) at a great used store here in New Orleans (Magic Bus) for 8-10 a pop.

I also have lots of Japanese vinyl that I have only played once and taped to my nakamichi. Have a Bang & Olufsen turntable from the early 80's in my bedroom setup that I never play

I dare to admit that keeping just 6 or several vinyls or CDs will not suit me since when I start listening(especially on weekends) I may pick up upto 25 recors and play them either whole or selective parts. I can even delay it for the next day.:)

Audiotomb-I think your right I don't think my 70+ year old grandparents would be into the "modern" rock of the the 60's ;), they favor true old school stuff, things that I sure as hell have never heard of before.

Tim I doubt that grandpa & grandma would care for these 8 track tapes: these are mainly 60's rock genre. I'll dig them up again for TomB; probably a dozen or so tapes from The Creme & Jethro Tull era, I think there's an old Pink Floyd too. No guarantees regarding condition; might be fun to play around with though. I'm keeping my R-to-R's as I'll admit to having 1/4 track & 1/2 track machines that still sound good even today.

I have some 100+ cassettes ( very good quality!)that I taped from CD's and before CD's were invented. I bought a good HX-PRO cassette deck for the rig, car, minisystem fully knowing I never gonna listen to thoes tapes.But Just in case...

Got some 50 + BASS CD'S (Miami sound) that chants bass, bass, bass throughout( annoying) but can't listen(most) but still can't get rid of them. But just In case....

My cerwin vega's (AT-15) sitting the garage collecting dust. Can't get rid of them...Old Infinity car speakers, amps in a box in my garage. WHY?

I have two HT system in the Family room. One the high end and the other the 11 year old Yamaha. One for casual and on for real HT experience. Two center speakers: one behind the other! Tons of 'gold plated radio shack cables' from old days. What the.... Just plain STUPID.
