I was speaking to a mate a few weeks ago who thought his stereo & treasured vinyl were still in his mum's loft where he left them 7 or 8 years ago when he got married. He went round to pick them up to find his mum had dumped them all - not even sold them, simply taken them to the dump because 'nobody listens to records nowadays'. Is it a man/woman Mars/Venus thing that means men treasure old things from their past such as hi-fi and cds/vinyl and have to protect it from women at all costs - is it a perceived threat from such things as in 'you like your vinyl better than me?' (to which the reply should be 'when you're like this I like MP3s better than you'.) To paraphrase Harry Enfield's Chumley-Walker character: 'Women, know your place!'

For sidefills, can we have two enormous things of a type that might be venerated as Gods by the inhabitants of Easter Island, capable of reaching volumes that would make Beelzebub soil his pants.

^Oh dear,i bet that has happened a lot Jazomir,my pal was clearing out a woman's house a month back,and a very similar thing,he phones me to ask if a pair of big Wharfdale speakers are worth anything?..there is also a tape recorder and an old amp....turned out to be a Akai 4000db reel to reel,a nice old Rogers amp in a lovely solid teak case,Garrard 86SB turntable and a pair of wharfedale Glendales,not the best things ever,but certainly way to good to dump...so he now has a nice little middle of the range system for nothing!
Edit...and it certainly sounds better than any silly plastic ipod dock nonsense...i made him up a lead to plug his ipod directly into the amp's Aux. input. Edited by jbl_man - 02 December 2011 at 6:59pm |

its not i think, i know i have them but along with lots of other completely useless old audio stuff. i have a feeling allso that as time passes all equipment of a reasonable spec from the 1970 to 90s will last longer than the earth has rotations. can you say that about much from this day and age?
