I have a couple of McIntosh pieces that I had refurbished over the years and they spent some time in my listening rig. I had these pieces set aside and had not played them in rotation for a year or more. I decided they they should be heard and put to good use. I gave them to my son to use in his apartment.
My son is 34 and was educated as a recording engineer. He spent some time as an intern in the recording industry but could not make a viable living doing it. He went back to school around 8 years ago, got some Microsoft certifications he is a network administrator for a large bank. I had some exception audio equipment that I would rotate in and out of my system. I could not see myself selling it but I wanted to put it o everyday use. So I gave it to my son. He can enjoy it a he loves music and always will. I can "visit and play it" any time I please as he lives in Oakmont. My McIntosh MX-110 and my MC 2105 can be seen in the pictures. He has my Yamaha YP-801 turntable and my REL subwoofer. The Sony SS-M7's are on loan to him by me also.
Good gear like this needs to be used everyday. My son will make good use of these wonderful pieces.

This was good for a healthy laugh!!!
Nice system, Carl. I gave my daughter a pair for Boston A-60s that I refoamed as well as rack for her apartment setup. They do appreciate it (once they pass a certain age.)

Feel good! I miss that sub! It was just a little too big. The REL was a little smaller. With my new Legacy's, I don't need a sub. O0

Please adopt me.
I feel the same way, I need a Dad. :)
I also have to say that is one helluva hand me down system.
-
A very nice thing to do for your son! A very cool and beautiful system....
And I agree totally that systems/ equipment were meant to be used/ played... Just like my bikes.... "ride'em don't polish 'em!" lol
-
Thanks for all the kind words guys! It's a fun system to hear!

@Jim: after testing that Aprilia up and down my street I understand your obsession with bikes. That thing is a rocket. I need to test the the "90 mph on 1st gear" claim next time. Feel free to 'hand me down' that bike when you are done..... :P

alright PBJ, time to step up to the plate. i'd like a "hand me down" system now.
