Showing off my stereo :P

[stefanhendriks]

the looks? rofl, i find a box that eats up so many space a waste of money! I rather have a slim stereo

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

You would be afraid if I showed you mine
it's what Wrecks would call an 'old black crate' but since the CD player was dead I gored it and installed an old CDROM drive instead, also it has a 486 DX/2 motherboard in it with a netcard and a sound card (of coarse) that allow it to play MP3s from my network

[Leagle]

Hmm, that sounds very reasonable -all my players are broken, including my discman, which ejected some of its componants when I opened it! :mad:

I suppose they are all rather dated now, I take good care of my equiptment you see.



[EDIT] I'm sorry Pierre, you have a CDROM drive in your ...stereo??!!!

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

that's it
either that or my stereo would not be able to play CD's anymore...

[SoUlFaThEr]

LOOK! a philipps comercial!

Well, I'd also be a member of the "Old Black Crate" club, then. However, I didn't mod mine... Pierre, can you leave ANYTHING alone at all? Or do you have to mod even your headset so that it pours you some coffee when you push a corresponding button? From what I've seen and heard, you seem to be a mixture of Q, Scotty and most of all MacGyver: "Beware, he has a chewing gum, some tape and a desk lamp, and we only have machine guns!"
Dang, and I'm too darn stupid to repair a brick...

well, let's say I have a physical need to put my mark on everything I own

The benefit of bulky speakers is usually better sound - u know, there's a reason why they build them like that

There has always been a silent battle between speaker constructors and speaker designers because nice design usually compromises the sound. That's pretty much the same reason you wont find any audiophile buying a B&O stereo...

what you prefer is of course your own problem... some throws millions away on speakers they believe sound an inch better than the rest... other's do the same thing for design... i guess it's all priorities.

btw PMB sounds pretty cool with a modded cd-player

Oh, lookie lookie my cheap stereo!


Small, but at least the cd-player still works... Plus, it comes w/ a remote control... Very useful for when you're studying and listening some music... Yup, I do that.
