I made a totally irrational purchase this year in the name of a Well Tempered turntable. For no other reason than I have always been intrigued by the design and fancied messing around with golf balls and gunk. Suffice to say I don’t regret buying it as it’s bloody brilliant!
Valves look cool, so I’d have an exotic glowing marvel on my list. I’d like speakers so large that I’d need to remove the front of my house to get them in the sitting room. Finally, a reel to reel, perhaps a Teac with a load of VU meters would finish off my irrational purchases.
