Post Subject: Audio Housecleaning 2.0Posted by Romy the Cat on: 4/27/2015

Over the course of last 3 weekends I went over heavy domesticated labor. Trying condense the household audio presents in order to get more space. It turn out that babies not only consume space but they produce enormous amount of residual item and now the house is suffocated with bassinets, chairs, clothes that Thomas is grew up. Yep, the baby is juts 5 month but he have already grew up from the clothes that in space equivalent of ¼ side 30Hz horn. Yes, my wify has an appetite to this sort of things and she feels that if baby ware a set pans or jackets twice then “they will not take him to Harvard”. I think Thomas now has more shew then I do and he is juts 5 month!!!

Anyhow, I revised my audio “possessions” and decided to do some cleaning. Ironically I did not trash a lot of thing but rather condensed the storage and I….discovered a two rooms in my house. One room that I will be building and remodeling during the next month will be quest bedroom/play room and another room will be a full-size table tennis room – a subject of my wet dream for years.

The most interesting in my condensing ceremony was to view all of those boxed and to examine the evidenced of my audio projects that I undertook in my past. It was a very interesting trip in my memory lanes: all those 7788 phonostages, the headphone amps, the preamps, the power amps, the signal processors, a number of testers and many other things. Did I mention the drivers? I do think that I might get rid of many of my “possessions” and I do not see myself to use them. Not that I have no interest in using them but rather I would like to have my “usage” to be more practical. For instance I have a number of 1930s Telefunken electromagnet drivers. They do sound good in very narrow range of criteria but I truly do not feel that I will even be satisfy to build anything more practical with them. I see a huge number of different “devises” that I own that are very good from a single performance or sentimental values but that do not really feet on my holistic and practical audio views. So, I think that time of barn fire will not be coming but I will be slowly getting rid of some of my “accumulated audio possessions”. I do not feel bad about it quite opposite: I feel that I could now to achieve higher quality of balance between “things”, “feelings” and “expirence”.
