View AttachmentView AttachmentGoodbye Google, Hello Samsung S10 with 512GB memory. New LG Tones Pro and the Samsung Wireless fast charger. No picture of that. Tired of the Phablet, going just a bit smaller. Remembered how much I loved the S7. The screen on this phone spanks any Google Pixel, though the cameras the Google will be better, but I had good luck with the S7 cameras too. So I expect at least the same if not better here. Let's just pray it doesn't burst into flames... Just say'n... |

Found myself a local pair of Klipsch KLF-20 with cosmetic flaws. They sound fantastic, and for $300 I couldn't pass them up.  |

New headphones for me. Bought a pair of Plantronics back beat pro 2. There a little bass heavy... but I got only a few minutes of listening on them...

So, Mr. Pedrocols - That's a handsome little machine you got there. Are you a "Wagon Afficianado"?
Are you also frustrated with the statement that, supposedly, "American want SUVs, NOT Wagons"
The only "Real Wagons" (those lacking jacked-up suspensions and superfluous plastic cladding) are:
-Low-End BMW (Oops! that one is gone as of this year 318 or 320 series with little 4-banger)
-HIGH-End E-Class Merc (but the AMG version is one of my "dream garage" cars...)
-Volvo (but not available in "R" anymore - they are going too "P.C."... Used to have an S60-R / 6-Speed, but really wanted V70R with same)
-Smallish VW (we HAVE a Golf Sportwagon TSI - pretty decent, but still a bit on the small side)
OTHER UNAVAILABLE, BUT LUSTED-AFTER WAGONS:
-S6 Avant with Manual (someone in our area had an older one and it was "Q-ship Cool"...)
-Caddy CTS-V with Hennessy Performance package
-Mazda 6 Wagon
-Previous-Gen Polestar 7 Series wagon
-Subaru Legacy Wagon with Sport Kit and TSI Turbo package

Lots of people hoping for the RS6 wagon to come to the states.... I love my 2013 Allroad mainly because it is far from being stock.... |

OK - I think I saw the mother of all audio garage sales today. The guy and his wife were moving from one luxury neighborhood to another. Most of his gear had already been taken to the new house, but when I walked into the old house (where the garage sale was being held), I found the following:
Wilson WATT speakers (two piece models with head and woofers)
Wilson Thor's Hammer subwoofer (I'm SO wanting him to sell me this)
Wilson center channel speaker
Classé 5-channel power amplifier
Krell KSA stereo power amplifier
Mark Levinson stereo 1990's preamp
McIntosh processor & (5) mono amps
Paradigm Studio speakers used as rear channels
Wilson Alexia II speakers (from the stereo system)
About the above number of OTHER very, very high-end speakers and electronics
The poor guy was being run ragged by his wife who was trying to run the garage sale while having him pack the house for moving to their new place.
We exchaned phone numbers, and once things settle down for him, I'll give him a ring & see what of his gear he'd like to sell.
Only my audio amigo Russell has as much gear in his house.
