We moved the listening room to a guest bedroom that is in dire need of re-modelling. It lacks space and storage so things must go. I have not conducted a purge in some years, and the first thing I discovered was that it is not possible to sell a pair of worn Dynaudio Focus 220s for more than it would cost to pack and ship them. I do hope that everyone enjoys listening to noise through their Beats by Dr. LoserMcWhatEverHisNameIs. I still have the matching 200c center channel because the drivers are immaculate and even the cabinet is in pretty good shape, and I haven't the heart to dismantle it just yet. I think I would be lucky to get $100 for it in the current market. I am going to slowly but surely pare down the collection, starting with odds and ends (such as the drivers from the pictured Focus 220s). This process will hopefully be completed by the end of summer, and then we can evaluate what happens next. I won't for example, be writing much about the TC-K 700 ES tape deck as mentioned below. I spent a good chunk of change four years or so ago having it refurbished, so the internals are in great shape. recently however, a small piece of plastic in the door mechanism snapped off and disappeared to who knows where so the spring opening mechanism does not work and the door has to be pulled open. Still plays and records great, but will be added to the "everything must go pile" regardless just due to the irritation, and I have other decks to focus on. Should the reader (!) be interested let me know and I will post a list of stuff on its way out. An upside is to all this is that the new room has an angled ceiling so will sound different . . .
