The ADS monitors were pretty high end when they debuted. And, not cheap. I recall this attache' in the mid-70s, which came with a pair of these and a Nakamichi cassette player. And, I remember coveting it.

Joe.

Ah yes, the 2002 system. Big $ at the time for sure. The 2002 was a 200 with built in bi-amplification. Great sounding but a real tough sell, primarily because it had a proprietary (6 pin I recall) connectivity, so not universal to hook up with normal line level RCAs.

In retail at the time, we also had the large powered Advents, which were easy to send a preamp line level RCA to. Played incredibly loud, but had a high failure rate.

FUN!

Thanks for the memory!

That is just so foreign to me (and probably many of us): the thought of a spouse who actively supports our weird little hobby/obsessions lake that. My wife at best tolerates them. She is mostly annoyed that I can't hear her when she wants to talk, or feels "isolated" because I have headphones on.

Here's an idea to remedy that problem ... invite her to join in the listening

Here, we're preparing to watch & listen together to a BluRay DVD.
The rig: Oppo BDP-103D - optical - Schiit GungnirMB - Bryston BHA-1 - HD800 x2. HP stands by Woo Audio.
Sierra Nevada pale ale for me / Ketel One & Perrier for her.
Works well with music videos and movies ... open HPs are suggested, so you can communicate.


Happy Listening and Cheers!

My wife and I listen to our headphones together all the time. My primaLuna has a tape out which goes to my Trafomatic. My DAC feeds both the same signal and we experience the same songs together. I also try to get her any headphones she says She likes. That is why I have a Klipsch Hp3.

it took no time at all for someone to ask that (sound of helpless laughter)

How familiar are you with jazz-rock fusion? It's pretty much all I listen to. I made the mistake of taking my wife to see Tribal Tech when we first started dating in '93. She still holds that against me to this day. Fusion is one of the most effective woman repellants in existence. And aside from concerts, she doesn't really just sit and listen to music. We do watch TV with headphones when our kids is sleeping, but we are wireless.

Fusion I'm listening to Djabe & Steve Hackett - Back to Sardinia at the moment and it is a wonderful album

 

[Preachy1]

Ooooh, Hackett!!!! I have tix for 5 shows coming up in March!!!!!

@HungryPanda
I'm on the second track, sounding good so far!

 

[Andy777777]

Does that answer your question?

Oh, man! Those packages of blank casettes is bringing me back. I remember trying to get a corner of the shrink wrapping up with a fingernail. Memories of copying a new tape back when music was rare.

 

[Preachy1]

And buying boxes of them before the next Grateful Dead tour!

I personally am a big fan of jazz-rock fusion (and all kinds of blues), in particular Marcus Miller, Simon Phillips and Bela Fleck, but there are dozens of others. Head to the "What are you listening to right now" thread and see what I've posted there. I was not aware of Tribal Tech - thanks for the idea.

My wife, however, is not a fan - she likes Joe Bonamassa, progressive bluegrass (Sam Bush, NewGrass Revival) and old country.

It certainly helps if both listening persons agree on the music up front ... if not, it could lead to damaging the gear, e.g. throwing headphones, that would not be cool
