It used to be called a den. It's often the last place in a house where a man can still be a man. It's the last refuge from bad furniture and white carpet. It's sad but not a cause for anger. You should show sympathy for the men driven into their holes.

Girly men don't need a cave... they can't even change a tire, they are whipped.

Real men that build & repair things... need a cave, where the women are not to enter, without express permission

the man cave popularity is just at the beginning stages, they are installing them in colleges and providing training

Back ~15 years ago, when I still watched a little talmudvision outside of Warriors basketball; there was "The Man Show" on Comedy Central, hosted by Adam Corrola and Jimmy Kimmel. Anyone remember? With their standard closing segment, running behind the credits, "girls jumping on trampolines" ??

I'm sorry but, that show was some funny shit! :D

We know what Kimmel's doing today, but did Adam C ever go anywhere? Or just suckin' on the bottle & crack pipe mostly today?

When I hear "man cave", it conjures up images of overgrown boys with overpriced toys stuck in a perpetual state of frat boyishness and trying to impress their equally immature friends.

A real man ought to be acting like an adult. Most of his time should be spent either working to provide for his family (current of future) or interacting with his family in order to raise the next generation. Real men don't have much time or money for their own indulgence.

Kimmel would have to be the slimiest wet fish handshaking disingenuous guy around and thats saying something when you consider there's Obrien, Williams and O'reily. I can't remember where I saw some ads for a talk show he does. maybe YT before I got a blocker. How anyone isn't repulsed by that guy I don't know.

I had to learn how to cook/bake, otherwise I couldn't get fed enough to sustain me. I had a huge appetite growing up. I couldn't imagine the cost of food today for what I ate back then.

[Half Sense]

My friend who died recently was kinda into overkill, and I inherited a truly man-cave worthy audio system this week. I have no man-cave to put it in so I set it up in the garage where my car usually sits. It's a pro-quality system using fully balanced XLR connections. There are four 31-band equalizers, four of Yamaha's best pro amps, each bridged to mono, powering a large stereo set of custom speakers with four 15" JBL woofers. The source is 24-bit files fed through a Benchmark DAC 1 HDR.

The noise floor with the system at idle was very high...lots of hiss coming from the mids and tweeters. I had to crank it to fairly high levels just to mask the hiss. Luckily, the amps have calibrated volume controls and I backed them each down about halfway. That cut the noise down to very quiet at idle. Next, I played with the EQ to get rid of a mid-bass bump and the sound really started coming together. Even with the amps at 50% there was gobs of power. These amps can deliver up to 3200 watts in bridged mode and I was running TWO of them into each speaker, a potential 6400 watts per channel, but into the roughly 6-ohm load I estimate I'm getting maybe 4000 watts per channel.

My wife was not crazy about this system coming into our house and we really have no place to put it. But she was singing and dancing her ass off within a few minutes and is now trying to figure how we can keep it and where we might put it.

This system absolutely kills, especially with certain types of music. It wasn't great with classical music, though it certainly handled orchestral peaks and even my toughest pipe organ tracks. With Rock, Disco, Rap it was a monster. You can really hear down into the deep notes that are totally obscured on lesser systems. Kick drums sound like real drums. Clarity of voices is outstanding. Everything was totally clean through the Benchmark DAC. It was hard not to dance when the music called for it, and we were lighting up the neighborhood pretty well with it turned up to 3.

This morning I went out and turned on the cheapo power strip that the 4 amps were plugged into. I heard a thump in the left channel speaker. Looks like I blew the left midrange driver. I should have powered the amps on one at a time and allowed each of them to go through its protection sequence. And I really need something more robust for them than a power strip. So for now the system is broken down and the amps are stacked in a corner. I've gotta open up the left speaker, figure out who makes the midrange driver and order a new one. I foolishly thought I might make a profit on this deal and it is already costing me. But it was priceless to see my wife moving around like it was 1978 again.

Toys are - like pets - substitutes in a degenerate civilization for children & healthy families. It happened in the Roman Empire. It's happening now.

It's one thing to enjoy time with one's children playing with intelligent toys. It's quite another thing to have a "man cave" full of things to display, to inflate one's ego. And possibly penis, as well.

I've always disliked the term "man cave". A man needs a home, a safe place to rest and "hang his hat", so to speak. But there's a whole world out there to explore, hunt, fish, work your land if you own it as well. A cave is a place to hide. I don't like hiding from things, maybe that's it. The big screen TV belongs overboard, off the boat, the boat we call life. Life itself has too many opportunities to keep us busy and entertained as it is.

Update on the man cave stereo. I took the speaker apart. All the drivers were upgraded except the tweeters which are original Cerwin-Vega domes. The midrange weighed a hefty 6 pounds. A new one costs $60 and should be delivered Monday. There's a fuse on the back to protect the speakers but my friend had replaced the fuses with metal rods. I guess he got tired of blowing fuses. I researched the 15" JBL woofers. They are heavy-duty and can handle 1200 watts each. Best price I found was about $160 apiece if I ever have to replace them. I think I need to use fuses because I can't afford to keep replacing drivers. Rough calculation, maybe a 3.15 amp slow blow fuse? Or a 5 amp quick blow? If I set it up in the house I think I'll use 2 amplifiers instead of 4. I might need the other 2 as spares. I still don't have a man cave to put it in, but it should be good for planet-busting movies as well as disco ball party nights as a compliment to the home theater system.

[Jerrylynnb]

I, and a whole lot of elderlies that I know, survive almost SOLELY on their social security checks. They started taking that out before my time (my first job was in 1956), and I objected but realized I couldn't do anything about it, and, now, that I am too old to be worth anything for my labor, I have to confess I'm glad they did because, over the years, as a youth, one tends to spend whatever they earn due to life's pressing situations at the moment. In other words, anyone who makes an issue out of social security (both taking it out and getting paid in old age) will get nowhere with those of us who paid in all our lives (involuntarily) and survive almost entirely on it now that we are over the hill.

Now I also recall my grandparents, neither of whom (both paternal AND maternal) had any social security checks coming in. They survived on the help from their grown children (10 on my maternal side, and 12 on my paternal side). Had they NOT had so many children, they'd have been in the poor house.

I guess I'm trying to urge 7th trump to realize that, sometimes, even when it offends us psychologically, involuntary government programs turn out to be a good idea.

It sure would be a mess if all the elderly folks I know suddenly stop getting their SS checks, and I can admit that the little bit they took out over the years was hardly enough to go to war over - I came to just accept it and forget about it.

Well said Jerry. Personally, I don't mind paying into SS. My parents are happily retired and SS is a big part of their retirement, they would have a tough time with out it. As my Mom puts it, it's not an entitlement program because they've been paying into it the whole time. It's their money they are getting back. I just hope when I retire 20 some years later, I'll be able to collect it as well. But for know, I can at least be happy that my contributions are helping the retired folks of today.
