My New Stereo!!

[Ace]

Inspired by Travis, especially with what you can get for $30 or less, I too decided to upgrade my stereo system.  Now, understand, I've had a pretty decent stereo for some time...  Sony surround receiver and CD player, Infinity 3 ways with electrostatic tweeters, Cambridge sound satellites and subs, Bose surround speakers.. But everything can be improved, you know?  So here's what I got:
Sumiko Primare Integrated Amplifier and CD player


I like the look of the Sumiko combo which offers "massive power supplies, high quality componetry and simplicity of use."  They're great, and look good.

Additional amplifier or electronic stuff, from another brand...

These are good, too... and I like how they stack.  They're great...

Kharma Midi Exquisite main speakers

Here they are, in my.. in the room they're in.  I know $40,000 is a bit extravagent, but heck, they're the best, you know?  I'm worth it.

MBL 101 E Radialstrahler Omnidirectional speakers

I'm using these as the surrounds... I know that's kinda weird, since they're twice as much as the Midis ($80,000) but since they throw sound evenly in all directions, it made sense to use them this way with the Midis.  They're very good.  Funny looking, but who's gonna argue with a German, you know?  Heh.

Here's me, out in my yard jumping for joy listening to My New Stereo


I am very happy with it.  I'm using it with the RCA tv and Panasonic DVD I already had.  If I can find a photo I mean take a photo after I buy some more stuff, like a turntable or something, I'll poast more.  

ace; it was very easy to put together. too.

[Bill]

I'd appreciate it if you would turn it down.   You're rattling my windows and Fido doesn't like it.

Nice pictures though.  

[Ace]

This place is so turned down, I may as well put on The Sounds of Silence.

I was going to wait for the accolades, snide comments and heartfelt congratulations to pour in...  Right.

Thanks; the pictures really do the system justice...

Ace; they're like 1,000 words each.

[Bill]

Nice self-image.  Too late to spell self-portraite  picture mirror image  fake.

Bill

[scuzzy]

I didn't see anything about when the system expires. It wasn't sent to you by AceFTP Pro, was it?

Scuzzy; 2,020 days left

[Ace]

No sir. I got that thing direct; I guess mail order would be close to the means of delivery...

A lot of literature on it.  Yep.

I don't know what Bill is inferring as "Fake".. Those are actual photos of actual stereo equipment.  Real pictures, there.  Yessir.  I took them myself.  

And it still sounds as good as ever.

Ace; Those should last a long, long time.

[pat]

I?m getting in late on this, but nice system.
So sleek, so stylish, so sublime.

It?s like pseudo stereo.

[Ace]

Well, yeah.  Ok.  Thanks.  

At first, I wasn't sure what "Pseudo" meant.  I thought it was a typo, and you meant "suedo."  Like it was leather, or something.  I mean, heck... it's a stereo, you know?  It's metal.  Pretty much.

So I guess it must mean "really cool and expensive, and hot."  So, ok.  Sure; thanks.  It is; I mean, heck, the speakers alone would run $120,000.  I mean, did.  Heh.  Wait'll I get that Visa bill, huh!

Whoa.  And that's just that... there's like electronics stuff, with amps and things, too.  So it's really, really expensive.  But it sounds really nice.  Really.

It's almost like it's invisible, and you just hear the music.  That's the mark of a really good system.

Ace; it's really good.

[Bill]

Listen, you hear the music even when the Sony is off.  I think that is not the way to judge a good system.  

Invisible is probably an accurate discription of eveything except the "jumping for joy" self-portrait.  Fake.  That has to be wrong.  Long-sleeved white wool sweater, long pants, heavy socks and boots in the middle of a heat wave.  Who are you trying to kid?  That picture had nothing to do with the new stereo.  Must have been last winter after you got back from the "race to the ER" episode.   I didn't realize you were quite that er robust.  Maybe you should cut down on the greenies.   Geez, you want to be around to enjoy your new toy; don'tcha?  

Give the Visa bill to your wife.  "Identity theft, I tell ya."

Bill

[Ace]

Well, yeah.  No.  That photo was a fake.  Planted.  Unreal.  Of course that wasn't me... criminy, the guy is fat.  And hairless.  I mean, no moustache or anything.  And fat, too.

Ok, I just threw that one in as a joke... heh.  I put a real photo in there, of me, in rapture of joy and stuff.

She already did the identity switch with me, at all the dept. stores.  Like I'd go to "Fashion Bug."  Right.

Ace; I'm not a fake guy... I'm a real live boy.

[Bill]

Ok now.  That's more like it.  At least there are shorts there.  But somehow I had pictured you as being a bit taller.  Must be the digital lens, yeah, that's it.
