Thanks. Perhaps I misinterpreted the comment I replied to. Yes, it’s expensive (and honestly unnecessary). But it’s BIFL, so here we are!

Hey, you don’t have to justify it to us, lol. If you can afford it, enjoy!

Thank you! I go to their website at least once every couple of weeks to look at the selection. I have wanted to gift dresses to my two sisters as I think these would be most flattering. Love the colors and prints. I am going shopping! Thanks again!

I don’t know if you can get this in Europe, but I have a Fellow kettle and I think it has all of your requirements. https://fellowproducts.com/products/corvo-ekg-pro-electric-kettle?variant=41590554427492

Outdoor Research, Patagonia, Darn tough,

You are conclusion shopping, let's not do that.

Zero people on the planet can tell you anything as you buy purifiers based on the square footage served. You aren't purifying your living room, you are purifying every room in the house with an unopened door next to the living room to include going up and down the stairs. And if you are doing your bedroom, you must keep the door shut or the bedroom unit becomes a whole house purifier.

So, you need to state how many you are wanting and how many square feet the spaces are.

AustinAir is the BIFL brand.

Plastic is inside the kettle

She's right. If you're buying audio equipment for it's visual appearance, something ain't right.

I've got a decent band PA system upstairs but my daily drive is a Roland Street ex busking amp. I use it in school, in my garden, in the street, for busking. And monitoring my home recordings.

Goldberg variations are awesome. Even on 78RPM shellac.

It's the notes that count.

Yes, birdsong clocks still exist.

Bummer, it looked awesome.

Agreed. I just can’t go for a Dewoolfson-level comforter right now

Thanks!

I’d love that, but I don’t have the funds or the space for them. Mine is running a pair of Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Concert Grand speakers. Much smaller profile than the Klipschhorn and got them 70% off at their former US distributor as “b stock” (a couple cosmetic dings) back in 2006. Obviously the speakers and amp cost a bit of money, but I’ll have them until I die, so for me the cost is justified.

Ooooohhhh they are LEGIT. Craftsmanship is on point, ethically and transparently sourced, does not lose its retail value so you can resell it for full price, and you can wear them literally Anywhere in the world. They are appropriate for any occasion. They have a rabid and devoted following (I am one of them, we are legion 😂) but it's because these dresses (or however you want to wear them) are truly buy it for life.

I have no skin in the game, so if I'm coming across like I'm a spokesperson for them I am not!....it's just that these dresses really are that good.

That running a set of Klipshhorns and I would never leave home.

I got mine after a bad breakup. Seemed like a better idea than drinking

McIntosh has always been a dream of mine.

First I didn’t have the money. Then got the money but wife that thinks audio stuff shouldn’t be seen. 😢

And able to be passed on to my children, and likely their children.

My Bosch is 12 years old, i have very hard water, it’s still going. But….it’s getting flakey about running a full cycle, oftentimes I have to run a second time to get it to fully wash.

Sounds like maybe like manufacture problem

Starting around $5300, if anyone is interested.

No temp control

This is probably a make dangerous for the dog to catch. I remember throwing my 170 gram and it had a note about dog tooth safety. Doesn’t frisbee make a dog weight model?

Sometimes BIFL can be boring (no offense to the socks and cutlery lovers out there!). The McIntosh MC275 has been in production since 1961, and unlike most consumer electronics, is still relevant today after more than 60 years.

I bought mine in 2007, and somehow it’s still running on the original tubes. As long as standard passive speakers are available, the MC275 will be a relevant piece of audio gear.
