hey everyone, i'm on probation for some stupid things, so i like to stick with the internet name lolimsober. i think it's pretty good and defining of my person. anyway, i'm 23. i've always been pretty into music, but only recently did i grow an appreciation for the vintage sound, look, smell. some friends of mine, including myself. go to our local waste managements places(dumps) and they have electronics bins. we go after hours since scavenging is strictly prohibited, even upon a nice request during regular hours of operation. but we'd take electronics, tvs/amplifiers/receivers/speakers, that seemed like it'd be worth some extra cash. after getting extremely handy with a soldering gun and a few yamaha m-80s and various speakers throughout time did i really start noticing the difference between sounds. but where i live, there's really nowhere that sells vintage equipment or yard sales it even. so it's always left to the dumps for me. you'd be surprised at what people throw away, even in complete working order.
i'm really into tape right now. haha, i found a really nice onkyo dual deck that i'm running through, what seems to be an extremely obscure electro voice receiver and some mid range kenwood floors. but i mean, for trash it's a pretty good rig. i listen to mostly classical, jazz, and lofi pop if that can even make sense. Tchaikovsky is probably my favorite followed closely behind Franz Liszt. i'm also generically into vinyl, after finding a technics table with a pickering xv15 on it with the sounds of silence right under it? who wouldn't be. haha.
i also don't want people to pass judgement at my way of acquiring items through thievory, but i'll leave my political views out of it. and everything we don't use for ourselves, or if we find anything nice, we sell dirt cheap on the 'bay. but their sellers fees are getting worse and worse. probably going to stop that soon.
sorry if this post is so long, i just wanted to actually act as a member on here. contribute to discussion, conversation, musical interests. i'm really bummed out i missed the swap a few weekends back, i'm coming up to pgh this weekend. i'm dating a girl in dormont so i'm in the area at least once a month!
again! hi, everyone! have a wonderful tuesday!
