Street Photography, any photographers here that can help? by jaysainiin toronto

[–]norma_jeane 1 point2 points ago

Getting 'caught'? Caught doing what exactly? Taking pictures on a public street is perfectly legal. You think the likes of bresson and winogrand went around asking for permission when taking their pictures? With all due respect, you clearly do NOT understand what street photography is.

i know! the hi-fi guys poo poo them, but the xls series has garnered some respect from some good audiophile reviewers. not just about being loud. they're really nice sounding speakers.

how does investing in ones hobby have anything to do with 'having money' or cats? please note the $30 walmart tv stand and cheap ikea table for the TT. i'm sure you spend money on things i'd consider a waste.

check out the xls 12. roughly 700 for a pair.

i purchased them from the CV dealer in toronto. they had to bring them in from some plant or warehouse out of province. $649/pair? are you sure that's not per speaker?

edit- went to cerwin vega site. that price is definitely for one speaker.

the tiny speakers are xls 215's by cerwin vega. i knew they'd be towers, but yeah, the size was definitely a reality once they arrived at the store :) before my roommate moved out, i was using a simple numark TT plugged into his surround sound system. the sound was 'loud' and all around you, but there was no quality or depth to it. this is my first foray into decent stereo listening.

turntable is raga planar 2 with some modified base. the power has been separated into a box which you can barely make out in the picture directly below the turntable. mixer is just a pioneer djm 500. crown 1500w amp. windowlicker white sleeve.

genres: bass music (not to be confused with womp womp music) ambient, dancehall.

it's a fun setup for sure. gotta be careful to not annoy the neighbours too much :)

my collection is hardly a collection. i think a monthly meetup would also serve to motivate members to make a purchase each month if variety ends up getting stale. i'm big into ambient and electronic genres. i also like jazz, but i can appreciate almost any music if i'm getting schooled on it.
if we had say 6 people, we could easily kill an hour if we had a 2 track format. that and some nerding out and some drinks, could be a civil way to spend a weeknight.

i was thinking 5-8. whoever can host, hosts. everyone brings a record or two and gets to play something. i certainly am no vinyl expert or huge collector, but i do enjoy it and am slowly building a collection. drink some bourbon and play vinyl...sounds alright to me.

any genre. aphex twin certainly welcome. i'd assume members would focus more on interesting genres/tracks or rare vinyls.
