Your Dad got you that for Christmas?

When I was growing up our Main house system was a zenith allegro with built-in 8-track
They had only one cartridge; Neil Diamond's "Hot August Night" which was a taping of a live concert. As far as I'm concerned it was the original "Frampton Comes Alive"

Now I have nothing against Neil Diamond. In fact I'm a huge fan but come on; 24/7 of anything played on a zenith Allegro 8-track system could drive anyone to becoming a audiophile just to get the sound of that thing out of their heads. I'm piping 1060 watts into my mains and the echo of "shilo" still resonates.  is their a cure out there?

Congrats on your new system and if you get the chance, Go ahead and cue up "Hot August Night"  it's a treat especially when it's not on a zenith allegro system

And don't forget to take out the garbage and do the dishes. You owe your Dad for life !!!


Merry Christmas to all
Andrew
