Some old, some new...

[mellymelsr]

I was dusting off the radio's in my "Man-cave" and decided to take a picture. It can sometimes be very difficult to decide which radio to listen to. At the moment I have 17 in this room all plugged in so I rotate several throughout the day. My wife often gets pissed because I do volume tests to listen for crackles or busted speakers...and I crank them up loud... ...I got very lucky as all my boxes are in excellent shape and the speakers are near perfect in them all. Anyway it was 103 in Antioch today so I was indoors jamming all day...I found an old box of cassette tapes and was jamming all day!!...

[redbenjoe]

you sure do have some dynamite listening choices there , melly
its the 'all good' man cave

back to some 'old' business -
and now that you have since acquired much of the real big serious stuff;;

how does your panny bi-amp compare to these bigger boxes ??
does it 'hang'

Wow Melly that Sanyo M9994 looks amazing.

I hope that get one of those one day.

Nice collection, they all look like trophies!

That custom gold trim on the Pannie really sets it off, I may have to do something with mine......

 

[Superduper]

I don't see ANY small wimpy boxes here.

Melly -- to make sure you don't get spoiled......
You need to sell all the good stuff, start off fresh and experience all the beginner cheapo broken boxes.
THEN once you have done that, you will have perspective and...
THEN you will have a newfound respect for what you currently have, for your collection could be far far worse, and you could be eating staple instead of sipping the cream.

...the Panny can hang with everything in the room except for the FH-207...it's sound is beyond explanation. the FH-207 would make the stiffest audiophile listener smile...put it this way, it puts the Tele Studio to shame!!

What's the box between the M90 and the Rising20/20?

[redbenjoe]

...you are right that I am very lucky and feel spoiled with all these great boomers. I give credit to this site for my good fortune because I would not have a majority of these boxes were it not for Boomboxery...as for selling them all and starting over... ...besides Norm you are partly to blame for my current grail obsession...visiting your house is like sending a crackhead to Columbia...

...that is a Prosonic PQR 9962. That bad boy is commonly refered to as a poor mans M90. It has excellent sound, solid deep bass, and clean highs. It is one of my favorites.

 

[MONOLITHIC]

Great collection!

VERY glad that Kaboom isn't fully in the shot to ruin the picture.

 

[ViennaSound]

Beautiful boxes!
Love that colorful M´s!

 

[mellymelsr]

Taco: the M9994 is a must for any collector. I feel it is the best sounding mid-size box and is my favorite for indoor listening.

Mono: thanks, and I agree the Kaboom is so ugly it would have ruined the shot!

 

[Fatdog]

After 7, Jonathan Butler, and Chuckii Booker for the win!

 

[Gluecifer]

Fantastic collection Melly, all beautiful choices, and such lovely condition.
Great to see them all being put to good use too. Just like they should be!!



Rock On.

Brilliant collection, some sensational boxes there.

Must get some shelving organised for mine now.......and get more grails too!

 

[mellymelsr]

Roman: thank you, those M70's are my favorites...

Rick: seeing your wonderful collection always motivates me to get more. You are definitely an inspiration.

sony_apm_fan: thank you, I am still trying to make room for more shelves so it is a work in progress.

Bobby: it's all about the music...

That is kick ass! Nothing like listening to some old tapes on a day when you have nothing better to do.
