Ah yes- THEM!!! The fellow next door came over one day bearing a gift... It seems that he and some of the other denizens on the block had taken up a collection and without a word to me- took it upon themselves to purchase a quite nice pair of headphones that they thought I would without a doubt enjoy utilizing during my occasional high volume listening sessions with my PL-700/1>> BOY!! WERE THEY WRONG!!! As the guy next door handed me the phones, he was pointing out the high quality features of the earphones. After admiring them, I set them on my knee as if it were my head, then I reached over and turned on my sub-woofer which shook the room hard. I looked my neighbor straight in the eyes, told him how well the cans worked, then politely demanded that he "get the fuck out of my house!!"
Frankly, I was amazed the neighbors could hear my stereo over the racket their combined dogs make with their constant barking, yipping and yapping ALL FRICKIN' DAY/EVERY DAY! They never seem to hear THAT! Not to mention someone is forever banging on their house or fence with a hammer fixing God knows what. Or the guy across the street that monthly fires up his Harley Davidson and twists the throttle for the next 30 minutes, but I never hear him drive off+ going for a ride in the wind... I get it- I used to own motorcycles- they are wonderful! But I used to RIDE mine, not just raise hell in the driveway & stick it back in the garage! SO- SCREW THOSE NEIGHBORS!! If I want to blow the dust off of my speakers + the shingles off the neighbors roof once in a while with a Phase Linear 700 WOPL, I'm not doing anything different than them, except my dog doesn't bark all day because I pay attention to my faithful Boxer dog and I don't just throw her outside every morning+ let her in at night.
