HOLY CARP!!!
I bought a used, quite big, power amplifier on ebay a few days ago (my old one was out of order).

Here is a picture of my new baby:

I'm using it together with a high-quality pre-amplifier which I built myself about 15 years ago. At that time I was very much into "audiophile" home-made HiFi equipment, and I still have a pair of huge home-made speakers from that time.

Yesterday I got the amp and made a test drive.

I think this was the first time in the last 10 years that I have listened to really loud music again. I've lived in small city apartments for many years where this was not possible due to neighbors (and I never visited nightclubs or the like), but now I live in my own house.

Man, this was quite an experience. I have a big box of CDs which I didn't use at all for many years, and I've rediscovered all those treasures in my CD collection. I had almost forgotten what fun it is to feel the bass in your stomach and to enjoy a crystal clear sound.

It was like old times...

Loud music, when it's your own, is a fantastic experience.

Unfortunately, I live in an apartment. :(

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

Awesome!!!! :excited: Even at lower volume levels, a good sound system just adds so much depth to the music... :thumb:

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
I love music played loud when it was intended that way. Lately when I am alone at home and working around teh house it is the White Stripes' Icky Thump. Great CD. What were you listening to?
