That's a sweet little amp. If you can supply that cable I'll take it. PM sent.

Oh no, not more speakers. And VERY big ones at that... So tempting...

Dummy, Portishead

I would contribute to this thread, but first let me ask my manager. And, Oh are you interested in finance? Buying cars is hell. I hate it with a passion. Tried to buy a new car on-line once but the manufacturer forced me into the dealer. It's worse than the dentist!

Shows that sometimes a light touch is all that is required. I've got some Klipsch Cornwall 3 that I'm about to start hooking up to amps. I'll compare my results in due course.

I'm now thinking that as music is definitely a permanent and important thing in my life and that maybe I am trying to be too protective and controlling of my 'owned' music. Perhaps I should not stress about building a digital library and embrace streaming more. When I listen on bluetooth...

Oh and don't worry I am equally committed to the analogue world. I have a turntable and many records and I still avidly purchase records. That is a technology I can master, even if setting up my turntable correctly was eventually beyond me and I got some expert help.

Thanks for the responses. Some real world experience coming at me - just what I was hoping for. Cheers all! In particular dalryc for that realistic and practical explanation and geetee 1972 for your detailed response and support for Roon. If I'm honest, I doubt I'd burn all my CD's as I...

Bought this. Really dark and broody. Very different. I like it a lot: Chelsea Wolfe - She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She.

Very happy with these in my darkroom, they keep the music going great guns in a small room. I think because they cost so little you cant be analytical, so instead of carrying out audio evaluation (and all that double edged sword business), just let them play music.

I’ll take it if still available Let me know pls.

I'll add: Roberta Flack - The First Take Burial-Burial Primal Scream-Screamadelica Mansun-Attack of the Wide Open Spaces The Stone Roses-The Stone Roses Bob Marley & The Wailers - Cath a Fire The Verve-A Northern Soul Oh and +1 for the previously mentioned David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust

Vinyl, it's like a warm bath that you can just relax in and let the water flood over you. Let the music absorb you. Dont' fuss about DACS and Bytes. Just let that groove get under your skin. You chose the record, you bought the record, you put the record on. Not an algorithm, you picked...
