Yeh i did not think i would get much feedback from yew lot within this thread

I suppose it's a bit like posting that you don't like Harley Davidson bikes in the Harley owners magazine.

Andre has a love/hate relationship with the whole thing; some sort of Dionysian conflict. I just have a house full of junk, some of which works.

It's all good

Can Bi-polar be applied purely to hifi? One minute André seems to be excited at having bought this bit of new old kit and the other new old kit, now is scrapping tuners and wall shelves because he hates having too much gear.. hmmm

André what happed to the enthusiasm for having a whole forum dedicated to idlers, faux-suicidal thread over needing a Thorens TD124 and then going crazy for Lencos and now have a basic Michell deck and absolutely no excess hifi whatsoever?

Not sure what to believe to be honest - not that it matters! Just take it all with a pinch of salt .. or a pint

My hifi is pretty much just for me so a little bit of a wall of hifi but it's a wall of stuff I want to listen to or not got around to selling on yet (just in case there's synergy with some odd combo).

You can't see much of it in the dark when listening anyway!

If people come around, there doesn't need to be any focal point in a room other than perhaps the guests.

BUT one sets up a room for it's most common use - if that's listening to hifi, then the seats will no-doubt be facing the hifi, it's TV then it seating will face the TV. If entertaining is more common in the room then you set it up for that etc etc etc ...

For me, it's listening to music and general lounging around and I don't have a TV nor have many people around (too messy - go to girlfriend's for that).

I have seating facing the Hi-Fi and seating facing the telly. I just move to the appropriate bit depending on what I am doing. Hi-fi is at the other end of the room to the seating area so it doesn't really dominate but you can't help noticing the speakers given that they are big and yellow . I don't get many visitors other than people who are similarly affflicted so I have no idea what impression it would have on them although a girlfriend did mention that her mum would not like having 'all those wires everywhere'.

Hopefully she wasn't suggesting her mum moved in !?

No, I think she just uses her mum's opinions as a benchmark for what is and isn't acceptable. Not that unusual with women, I have found

Just tell her that the last woman who complained ended up wearing the wires as a noose necklace.... That usually shuts them up!

At the value of some silver cables, that might be mis-construed as a promise you don't keep.
