I'd say that coyotes in an urban setting are a different story than in the desert or in the river bottoms. These coyotes were no longer very afraid of dogs or humans, and their natural prey was long gone. There were lots of accounts of folks finding bits and pieces of their missing pets and packs of 3 or 4 coyotes circling and intimidating kids.
Very true. Coyotes have to eat and they're carnivores. I used to find jackrabbit parts everywhere. People taking over and displacing rabbits, squirrels etc only leaves cats, small dogs and kids.
My wife bought the system some 30 years ago from an audiophile retailer where she was working at the time. The receiver/amp is a brand I'm not familiar with called Integra, all I know is it kicks some serious ***, the turntable is a Rega P2, also one I'm not familiar with, along with a Denon 6 disc cd changer and a pair of Bowers and Wilkins speakers. She paid a good chunk of cash for it, even with employee discount, some where around $3k.
Haha. Be glad she - and you - had the good sense to quit while you are ahead. I got the audio bug at 19 and burned through something like 50K over the years with house systems, shop systems, car systems, and probably a bunch of stuff I can't even recall. I'm still at it, I just tonight started revamping the shop stuff and the new tunes for the wagon are arriving this week. It's a disease I think...
Completely agree with you about the disease, might even be worse than being a gearhead! I've known a few people who had $50k plus audio collections. Scary! I was into car audio for a few years but now I'm happy as long as it sounds decent. Can't afford the multiple amps, crossovers, and subs, mids, tweeters, etc.Haha.

I can relate, and respond, to this. But maybe not concisely, or completely....
This is done to get your attention. Some mine sites I've been on have a posted speed limit of 14.5 mph.
When I built my home 30+ years ago, I had it pre-wired for speakers in multiple rooms, remote touchpads, multiple sources (AM/FM, turntable, Sonos, CD, iPod), etc., etc. Over the years, most of it becomes obsolete. So, not being "electronics handy", I would call my AV guy, have him come out to update, re-tune, etc. There's no telling how much I've spent. Now, as one component goes out I just shrug it off and get another bluetooth receiver to play Pandora from my phone. It's a lot easier, way less expensive, portable, and since I now wear hearing aids, I don't freak out over concert quality sound. At least that area of my life is winding down
