hifi

here is the story of the most elaborate and expensive hi-fi system that @brileigh and I have ever heard:

we met this hi-fi dealer—let’s call him Larry—when visiting nyc after I inquired about a particular brand of electronics that only they and two other dealers in the U.S. happen to carry (Spectral Audio). more about Spectral another time, though.

we were brought to a smaller room than this one and another staff member set up our modest demo of a CD player, preamplifier, stereo amplifier, and floorstanding speakers. 

after about 30min of listening, Larry burst into the room with his walker clanking loudly. he had recently had surgery on his leg or foot, and he joked that he was considering bringing a mattress to the hi-fi showroom so that he could sleep here instead of commuting.

since I posted this thread at a weird hour yesterday (go read it!), here is a bonus photo of @brileigh and I standing in front of these gigantic speakers.

helps illustrate how big all of this stuff is. look at the amps next to our puny legs.
