    What’s all that ‘sunshine’ stuff? Relax!
    No ones advocating you spend thousands on chasing your tail, if your kit hits the spot for you then good on you.

    You made a couple of strong statements in the thread and I responded to them. Of course ‘IMHO’ applies ... but it doesn’t give one carte Blanche to make unchallenged sweeping statements.

    Anyway...

    Can’t see your kit in your post signature.

    I suspect the sweeping comments are to draw a rise.
    Seen it before.

    I think I prefer a sweeping statement to a bit of woolly tiptoeing around a topic.

    Anyway, nobody is obliged to respond if they disagree. It's a choice.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Nothing is written in stone about anything, One mans sweeping statement are not gospel. Personal opinions without bolloxing around trying not to upset touchy aint my style..

    And Gerry: they are not to reel people, in they are just my view simple as that..

    List in signature bothers some people why da heck would it

    I sport my signature with pride because, I love what I have, taken me years and years hifi learning and hard earned money to attain it.

    Now it might not float another mans boat but I feel good about it, the sound it makes, the journey, everything.

    BTW- I've observed other signatures and then read up on some of the kit I've not heard of or know much about which again has been very enlightening, more hifi knowledge and awareness.

    I sport mine with pride and without apology - big up the signature crew, whatever you've got
    My System:
    Amplification - Sansui AU-alpha 707 DR
    Turntable - Technics SP10 MK2-Technics EPA-250 Tonearm-Yannis Tome 423.5Plus tonearm cable-Eichmann KLEI Absolute Harmony plugs.
    Ortofon Cadenza Black moving coil cartridge-Fritz Gyger S re-tip. Panzerholz plinth.

    CDP - Pioneer PD-91
    Speakers - Spendor D7 on Soundcare SuperSpikes
    QED Silver Spiral speaker cable-airloc banana plugs
    Mains - Ultra Pure silver plated un-switched socket-Missing link EPS 500 silver plated plugs-Hi-Fi Tuning gold plated silver ceramic 13 amp fuses

    So then Adam you gonna be following me around for the sake of arguments which anyone can do behind a keyboard.
    You seem a bit intense Andre, a lot of the time, about a lot of things and we've seen it before and where it eventually ends up ......style of language doesnt help either.

    Btw - Kit in signature doesnt mean you're keeping up with the Jones, how would anyone manage that, unless they're daft and rolling in endless money. Kit in signature is just that, dont overthink it

    But If it pisses you off so much...
