Ortofon's MC Anna and 12" arms

[F1eng]

No I havent. I am a music lover

You seem very reticent bub.

Having a very large number of records rarely means somebody is a music lover. It usually means they are a collector...

Yeah having just a few means you can get to know DSOTM even better

Really?

 

[Blzebub]

Surely having a large number of records means you are indecisive?

 

[Jek]

No I just love music hence I buy lots

I have no interest in collectibles

Bub you only have 200 albums right?

 

[Jonathan Ribee]

Really?

When compared to the general population I think it is likely to be true. I have several friends with huge record collections who think I'm insane for having a huge pile of hifi gear. They revel in things like signed copies of favourite bands, having all The Beatles in low numbered monos, complete runs of Vertigo labels etc, but are happy to play all of these on a USB turntable through the AV system and 'speakers that came with the telly.

I think there are a lot more of them then there are of us.

Of course if you are sampling from a base population of people who post on a hi-fi forum this might skew the results slightly. But that's like asking if you like al fresco sex on www.dogging.com.

 

[Blzebub]

The United Kingdom is a long way from Paris, but Dogging.com is in the busiest and most upscale part of the internet.

Interesting pitch.

200 albums would be like an unattainable dream for me.

 

[merlin]

I believe James has a very impressive record collection and I have to say, very good musical taste.

It's just he has his old favorites and plays it loud enough to make most of us deaf.

 

[Joe Hutch]

Surely having a large number of records means you are indecisive?

Possibly ...

Actually I have no idea how many records I've got. They have spread across the house alarmingly. So I can't do the math on cost of equipment vs cost of recordings, so I'm indecisive about whether I'm a music lover or a gear freak. One thing I'm not is a collector.

 

[Jek]

How many "AUDIOPHILE PRESSINGS" does he have? Bub care to own up? Do you ever attend live music?
Any colle tion containing dsotm springsteen or dire straits doesnt impress me

 

[Markus S]

Jek, I'm getting really, really tired of your pathetic attempts at winding bub up. If you don't find yourself able to change your record (I'm not sure your collection has more than that one), you'll be given some time off-forum.

Markus - moderating

 

[keith1962]

Being a music snob about DSOTM, Springsteen and Dire Straits does not impress anyone.

 

[John]

Jek's seems a bit jealous, maybe he can post a picture of his turntable in the box.

 

[Mike Reed]

Do you ever attend live music?

What on Earth has that got to do with being a music lover? I haven't been to a concert (or gig) for many decades, but this has absolutely no bearing on my daily intake of music.

 

[Jek]

Theres nothing like live music... this is my fifth night in a row at a live event. Audiophiles prefer to spend time on forums discussing azimuth
