    Default Who's Got The Most Kit & Clutter?

    Bragging rights don't go to me I'm afraid. I have a lot of gear but many on AOS will beat me hands down I expect.

    Lets hear how extreme your collections are.

    ------------------------------------------------

    Here's mine, or what I can find or remember I own.

    Front end: Five turntables, four tonearms, at least twelve cartridges, three SUTs, one phono stage (I have two very good ones built into pre-amps). Three CD players, Two DACs, three jitters busting boxes, two valve buffers. One MD deck.

    Amplification: Six pre-amps, four sets of power amps including monoblocks, three integrated amps.

    Speakers: Four pairs, one sub, plus at least ten sets of bass or full range drivers, two pairs of midrange units, about ten pairs of tweeters and a couple of dozen various crossovers, etc.

    Cables: Dozens of all sorts.

    Other stuff: Boxes and boxes of components, books & brochures.

    Tools & equipment for Hi-Fi use: Mountains!

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I am remarkably free of hifi clutter these days having sold most of what I didn't want over the course of last year. Just a Delphonica Valhalla valve amp to shift and a couple of pairs of speakers to break down so I can sell the drive units and I will be left with just the kit I listen to, apart from a couple of bags of cables and bits and bobs which I may let go of too eventually

    A Richard Allen fan? Is that a pair of CG12 and a pair of CG12T units I see? Tried them myself in the past, well made but a bit of an antique performance wise.

    The speaker cables look rather similar to my Transparent jobbies.
