RE: The " Hi-fi is for life club "

Hi Moon, can we ad my Hazels name as a country member (she dont belong to the forum) but is mentioned often in despatches:)

One was talking to a very clued up 'audiophile' of the 'satified type' the other day . . . he believes that one can so easily over egg the pudding, loosing sight of the musical pleasure that one originaly set out with.  The unwary then get into a spiral, to which the only outcome is dissapering where the sun never shines . . . 'nasty'!!!!

I think I'm a "Music is for life" person.  HiFi is a means to an end for me rather than an end in itself.  It's nice to have lovely kit of course but ...

I think I just qualify.

Have no intention of getting anything else until they explode in a puff of smoke.

Oh, I lie. I'm getting an acrylic box-type cover for the turntable.

Well, Hazel has been added as member. Give her my regards! The ' audiophile' you spoke to was indeed clued up.

I'm in. Smile

As it's unlikely that I'll be able to afford to upgrade in the foreseeable future I'm probably going to be listening to my beloved Neutrons for many more years to come.

party time!

 

p.s. Does upgrading my PC count as changing the equipment?
