I'll let the veterans take this but if you want to do some research yourself...look up some of Ted's threads (reeltrouble1)!

Is it anything like a foxhole radio?

Don't have one yet, want one though, just always scary to take that first jump. Sometimes you just need a push.

Once you jump into the rabbits hole, there's no telling how deeply you'll fall.

What is a rabbit hole rig?

[tonyb]

It's not a rabbit hole rig.....it's more so a rig in a rabbit hole. I had the same confusion with Ted when he had his woodshed rig. I guess you have to know Ted a bit to understand his vocabulary. Just terminology folks. Think about what a rabbit hole is and all that goes with it, you'll figure it out.

[thsmith]

My definition is - It is taking the a long trip less traveled by most. Once you get started it don't stop until you find audio bliss, hopefully before running out of money.

[tavogee]

Now that makes sense, I am still laughing about the running out of money part. SO IS THE RIG, ALL THE EQUPMENT?

[tavogee]

Also, who is ted?

[madmax]

Also, who is ted?

Ted just is.

[tonyb]

Ted just is.

Ted is Reeltrouble....you guys are slow today.

[tavogee]

Will someone please answer my questio?

[tavogee]

Who is ted?

Ted is Reeltrouble1 or RT1. He is so far down the rabbit hole that the rabbit is bleeding.

[tavogee]

Im sorry but I do not understand.

[tavogee]

Is Ted an expert at audio?

[thsmith]

I am starting to smell something.

tavogee, welcome to CP but get back on topic. Several options provided to you. THoughts?

[tavogee]

Im sorry but you lost me, I am just trying to get some advice/recommendations on setting up a system for playing my records, cds, tapes etc. I don't know which amp, processor, receivers to buy. I will not be using it for movies (music only). This setup has to sound very good. I know nothing about tubes, etc. I don't even know if a sub is needed for music. It must have good pier.

[vc69]

sumthin stinks.

[cnh]

tavogee...? How well do you know ALICE? The Mad Hatter?...

I thought we pretty much answered your questions above!

Forget about the Rabbit Hole and start a new thread if you want advice about a new system in EARNEST?

An evil, dark sonic Hell where tubes are said to rule.

[newrival]

Whoa... this thread got weird. And no, no one answered his question directly.
Could you all be any more cryptic?

rig: kit, gear, system, etc. Its just a synonym for your setup.

rabbit hole: This is an Alice in Wonderland reference
exerpt from Alice in Wonderland:

"[After spottotting the white rabbit, Alice] ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.

In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.

The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.

Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything... Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end!"

It's an metaphore used to describe the nature of embarking on a new adventure. Here in the forum it seems often to be used with implied allusions of getting caught up in the journey as well as sometimes used synonymously with the "slippery slope" idiom. That is to say that even if treading lightly at first, you can quickly find yourself quickly sliding into the depths of the adventure (in this case with stereo gear). This is typically associated with the amount of money spent and so some here will associate that monetary element as well.

Simply put: the rabbit hole is the "audio journey," and sometimes you end up farther into it than you initially anticipate. Most of the time your wallet finds the bottom before you do ;)

indeed you did. I mustve overlooked it while scrolling through

Actually, a rabbit hole is a place you don't know where it leads and you don't know where you gonna come out at the other end.

Enjoy this hobby! And watch out for your wallet! Tubers are a common encounters in the rabbit holes, so it says.

And where is Ted anyway? I think he hasn't posted here for a while?

[mrbigbluelight]

Will someone please answer my questio?

Now that that is solved, I have a question:

What is a questio ?
