S.E.T. FOR LIFE


JOHN GALT

Recommended Posts

Welcome aboard. You'll like it here. Haven't tried SET yet but I'm working on it. Seems like the choice of the smart Set. Just read this Playboy interview with Ayn Rand and now I've got a big headache. I'd hate to think what would happen if I actually read Atlas Shrugged.

Maybe I'll just start with something simple like Finnegans Wake and work my way up to it.

S.E.T. FOR LIFE



My foray into tubes came when my girlfriend introduced me to her stereo
friend who sold stereo equipment in Champign/Urbana in the mid 70, two dynaco
ST-70 kits and a Dynico PS-3 and a Transcriptor Saturn Turntable, and Fulton
Model -80. I was into the stereo business. Several years ago my friend
was moving and even though he had a semi trailer to move his stuff he did
not want to move his 79 La Scalas. $900 later I was the uninformed owner
of these things, a quick visit to Klipsch forum pointed me to a Manly amp,
I'm in business again. You wear a manly T-shirt long enough and your going
to draw attention, I met someone who introduced me to someone and the next
thing I know I have replaced my x-overs with Bob Crites single A x-overs
for the La Scala's flash back to the first time I read Adolus Huxlies's "doors
of perception" This fellow acquiesced to sell me a pair of Don Allen SET
2A3 with three sets of tubes for $700. I am going to pick them up on Friday!
Casual listner to Sterio no more!

Welcome John

S.E.T. For life as well!

Having re-read the entire thread, Ayn Rand was never in it until cut-throat's ignorant comment. Huxley was mentioned though....

I would say that Cut-Throat's comments weren't so far out of line. He caught who John Galt is...[*-)]

Kinda funny, really, but I am easily amused.

So you also don't seem to recognize the difference between freedom and fascism?

Oh, I understand that quite well. I am just getting some enjoyment out of the Cut-Throat's recognizing the Rand reference. Not picking on you at all, either.

Had "Gravity's Rainbow" around for the last 25 years, had tried to to read it a dozen times and never got through the first 50 pages on any attempt. Saw it mentioned on the net once where it became clear to me that this book has the reputation of being one that people start and never finish. The implication was that perhaps no one had ever finished it... Decided to read the whole thing late last year. Glad I did.

Oh yeah, I'm in the SETs for life list.

Yes I have to agree, I have heard two systems in the last month with S.E.T.
and my ears have been opened! My friend has a set of chinese iron set as
he calls them, who introduced me to a different fellow with Quicksilver 300b
set, and that was all it took, he also has a pair of Don Allen 2A3 set that
I am picking up friday! I am only going to use my pp for a doorstop!
