Awesome! Mac tube Appreciation!

I'm running a system that combines the best of vintage tube audio with high end Japanese gear.

Main components being McIntosh MC60 tube Mono blocks and Yamaha NS1000M monitors.

Unfortunately, I can't blast it as much as I'd like. Wife puts the kaybash on that one.

For the Audio guys. This is my speed..

A decent system can be put together for about a hundo,maybe $200 if you do it right. nah mean?. All great components. Best of the 80's systems. Sansui, onkyo, jbl, technics,Diatone, yamaha....

But we all spend ridiculous money on stuff we love. And if you got the money? And want to nerd out on audio? This part of the shop is for you..

Spoiler: Amps that are less cheap

I'm not a huge audio guy, but intend to finally put a set together when i have the place to enjoy it. and Lil' Vader is bigger. have learned alot from guys like @Nataku and others. even started to enjoy seeing what records i can find.i get the feeling they are like musical trading cards.

Today was mostly Jazz day.

Spoiler: Miles Davis

Anyone able to authenticate this Lancel bag? E-thrift for the GF. Feels cheap but I have no previous experience. Inner zip is Lampo.

Edit: apologies for the multiple pics, have yet to learn how to spoiler on the new forum.

Typically the ones with the top buttons are men's. There's a model name on the side tag that will definitively tell you. Women's sell better ime.
Also, if one is beyond wrinkled it is probably the "crinkle finish" don't know how they do it, but it is on purpose and wrinkles will not come out.

^ Who makes those?

RL made them to be sold in the domestics departments of department stores. Before that, to increase interest, they bundled sets in clear plastic bags as gift-with-purchase for men's and women's fragrance sets.
