It went as follows......
Me:
"Thinking of selling off my turntable and just using Streaming to listen to music using the iPad to control everything.
Do you have any objections to me selling the turntable and my record collection?"
Wife:
"Why would you want to sell it all – I like having the records – I think it sounds completely different to CDs or on another system."
She talks a lot of sense that woman [emoji4]
One in a million their son keep hold of her...
...or an unselfish woman, who genuinely cares for her husband and his happiness, not just hers - i.e. a proper wife! No man should marry less.Quote:

You know what Mike I said something along those lines to my wife recently. Her answer was 'No way too many good nights in playing records for that to happen'! She doesn't share my anal retentivness about it all but definitely gets a kick out of the records and turntable as do a fair few of our female friends. Maybe it's not so male centric after all.
Has she an identical twin?

Now ya talkin'! ;)Quote:

(The question was academic, as I have absolutely no intention of selling them. But it was nice to have a response similar to that from mikeyb's wife.)
I guess it's as good a test as any, as to whether or not your 'chosen one' is worthy of the position! ;)
Marco.
I'm about to have a T shirt printed with "Still seeking Authenticity" on it.
I want one of these.

lol brilliant [emoji1]
I rarely play my records and I worked out if I sold them at the prices Discogs say they are going for and flogged my turntables as well I could pay of the remainder of the mortgage. Can't bring myself to do it though.
Call me thick, lol, but I don't get the relevance of this, in terms of what was being discussed? :scratch:Quote:

from wiki
A tall tale is a story with unbelievable elements, related as if it were true and factual. Some stories such as these are exaggerations of actual events, for example fish stories ("the fish that got away") such as, "That fish was so big, why I tell ya', it nearly sank the boat when I pulled it in!" Other tall tales are completely fictional tales set in a familiar setting, such as the European countryside, the American frontier, the Canadian Northwest, or the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
Things are often told in a way that makes the narrator seem to have been a part of the story, and are good-natured. The line between legends and tall tales is distinguished primarily by age; many legends exaggerate the exploits of their heroes, but in tall tales the exaggeration looms large, to the extent of becoming the whole of the story.
Ah, I see... :eyebrows:
Marco.
I only recognised Davy Crockett in the list
My good wife and myself once had a conversation along these lines:
Me: ''What if I just kept all the Cd's and got rid of the vinyl as it does take up a lot of space''.
Wife: ''That would be like a traitor to sound quality''. :)
wife... get rid of the records.
me... and you are?
Wife: I don't know why you want all that stuff.
Me: Are you still here?
Lol.
I put an LP on last night and tried an Long Dog Audio phono stage that I have on demo and d'you what, she's absolutely right.
I tried cd ( Marantz cd52se ), Streaming via my Pi but the turntable trounced them [emoji4]
Moods are a strange thing eh?
I keep telling people vinyl rules :), for years and years :)Quote:

My wife probably buys more vinyl than me I think.
When we met I didn't even have a record player and it was her that got me into vinyl.

Me: Yes "used to", past tense. Can't be bothered with it any more
So maybe I have one of the other 32.3 one-in-a-millions?
Possibly not though, 'cos she likes The Archers :(
