Following on from a JD post on another thread, how much kit (av/hifi etc) have you bought since you joined the forum?

Mine has been...

Rotel Ra-820
Mission Model 70 MkII
Dual 505/2
MA RS6
Naim NAC-102/NAP-180
Beresford DAC

Perhaps I should stop...

Spendor SA1
Chord Odyssey 2
Chord Crimson
Chord Chameleon Silver Plus
Tacima CS929
Musical Fidelity XRay 8 + PSU
Quad 405

...now I'm banned from ebay by my other half and will be tortured if I buy a new amp. I can upgrade the 405 without visual change though...a cunning move...

Re: What kit have you bought since joining the forum?

oh yes, previosuly i did have an old pansonic CRT and dvd player (dvd player in loft) and denon CDP/Amp both in loft (there 13 yrs old now) and some kef coda 7 speakers which are 13 yrs old and still going strong as rears in my AV set up...

Oh JD, i think the cost of one of Thaiman's purchases might blow mine out of the water....!

Ah but it's VFM that's important. My net outlay has been about twenty quid I think (if you're reading this, Mrs D?).......
