    Nice set up btw. Love the 401 and the speakers
    David Coe’s AD Audio Canonballs are incredible, plenty of power and a quality build using KT120 or KT150s
    But alas in my Room with these drivers and cabinets, the Radford STA25 is a great pairing!
    So the Canonball monos had to go.

    In the past, I had given thought to opening a shop. Selling only used stereo gear. Just rotate the gear through my living room into the store, shopping eBay and other places for bargains, bid accordingly and buy anything that you get a good price on, clean it up and place it in my system, and once tired of it move it to the store with a small profit in its price to pay the bills. Many hi-fi shops today take trade ins and sell used gear, but a shop that only sells used gear, I think would go over well. I’m too old and crippled now, but it would surely be a job that would be easy to wake up to.

    My plan is to open a coffee and vinyl shop, with a decent system in there and music on all the time. Would sell equipment too. I already have enough kit and vinyl to stock the place. Where I live is now effectively a university campus, they are building huge halls of residence just down the road. Show the students what they are missing out on

    There was a record shop here until last year that must have done quite well because he's moved to much bigger premises two towns over. So would seem there's a gap in the local market.

    Sounds like you have been giving this some thought. Perhaps you could use the same premises as the old record shop. But if you are serious about giving it a go you need to get cracking, you're not getting any younger you know.

    I have somehow found myself with two copies of the same Norah Jones CD - what would you give me for one of them? I also have two vinyl copies of Scritti Politti's 'Cupid & Psyche '85' (another future classic). Make me an offer!
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    Cupid & Psyche! I remember reading a review of that on teletext when it came out.

    Can't use the old record shop premises as need a premises that is zoned for food and drink. Plus it was too small which is why he moved, he had that much stock you couldn't get in the door. And it's already become a vaping shop.

    Not that there's any shortage of empty stores that would do round here. It seems there is actually a limit to how many bookmakers shops can be sustained within 500 feet of each other. If you rent one off the council you can get 3 months free of rent and business rates I'm told.
