JaffBay Was Open

49 replies

Friday afternoon the Fabric Selector and I loaded our offspring into the car and headed north.  A six and a half hour drive later and we were on the outskirts of Charleston, South Carolina.  The next day we did some sightseeing during the day, then had my birthday crab boil dinner in a great restaurant down at the river.

Sunday we loaded up again and went another two hours north, because JaffBay was open.

For those of you who don't know, JaffBay is run by a pleasant chap named Jeff, who is also known around these parts as Jaff and Burantek.  A month or two ago, I was lamenting once again being sniped on Ebay for some receiver or another which I had hoped would become mine and end up driving my refurbished Beovox M70s (see the thread that won't die).  Something with a little more power than my Beomaster 1900 or 2400.

Jeff replies to the lament, and I paraphrase, "Get in your car and drive on up to JaffBay."  Much electronic communication later, a plan was set and finally the time had come.

Jeff and his lovely wife SWIRO, along with their offspring, were kind enough to host my family for an authentic South Carolina barbeque dinner.  A few cocktails later, some listening to music was done, and our business was completed.  Many kind words were exchanged, as was a promise to meet again.

My family piled back in the car and headed back to the outskirts of Charleston for the night.  This morning it was more driving, this time on to home.  After unpacking the car, I was left with two somewhat large boxes on my kitchen table.

 

What's in the taller of the two boxes?

Why it's a Beogram CD X!  This will replace the cheap Magnavox DVD player in my system.

 

Oh my goodness!  There's something else in the box under the CD X!  What could it be?

 

Could it be the ever elusive Beomaster 4000 finally come home to papa?!?!

This baby will replace the NAD 7175PE in the system.

What could possibly be in the other box?!?!

Beogram 4000

That, my friend, was a "laugh out loud."

Nope.  JaffBay features only fully original grill/fret cloth/fabric.

Oh!  So close!

Finally! I've been waiting for this thread to happen!

I've never had the chance to visit JaffBay but came very very close! 😂

Definitely anxious to see what's in the next box 🤒

Congratulations Rich!!
