    I do find some current music amazing but it's not generally mainstream or in the iTunes top ten.

    Most of us have peaked at a level we can comfortably store and display. I can put doors on my shelving units so I dont even have to see the cds on open shelves. I do have some nice art on the walls.

    I dont see the problem with owning nice turntable like a Roksan or a good cd transport. Its called enjoying yourself. What else are we going to spend it on because I have everything I need at present

    You've got "stuff" to appreciate music just very little of it. Weve all got stuff to appreciate music as you will obviously have some speakers etc.

    This really is about the minimalist brigade getting on their high horse and feeling clever or superior about a one box solution. Its not an aim I have. Your argument is suggesting we have a problem we dont have. Your minimalist solution is just an extra shelf for me

    I like the ability to play what I find in whatever format I like. I can also stream if I want to and there is no harm to me having a couple of extra hi fi racks. So we have covered what you do and left the option to do much more...wheres the problem?

    Theres only a problem if you seek maximum living space and minimalism as a top priority

    Streaming hasnt fully grabbed me yet ...I dabble but dont feel its going to take over anytime soon.

    The other jibes we are getting is that we are having a love affair with the equipment like we are sad, lonely, square or misguided. Where is the problem with appreciating well made equipment which designers have put their heart and soul into

    Its your choice but do you all want a medal for saving one wall of shelving and a couple of rack spaces. The weird argument is the minimalist one. The rest of us are quite happy... leave us alone thanks
    A little flabbergasted TBH at the level of hostility in your reply, I'm not criticising anyone for what they like, I'm simply just explaining what I like - why does it upset people so much if they like something different, especially if it's digital?

    Yes yes.

    I have already acknowledged your perserverance in convincing me that streaming was the way to go.

    Was hoping from the name that it might be some 1970s psychedelic funk along the lines of 'The Clones Of Doctor Funkenstein.'

    But it turns out it is church music.

    Sorry to disappoint, didn't think it was your cup tea!
