    I am still buying vinyl, but have slowed it down quite a lot, quite a lot of my collection is from 2nd hand or charity shops over the last 3 years and I was given about 350 albums from three friends. I have started to purchase some new, but am quite selective due to cost and quality can be hit and miss. I have recently found Pure Pleasure Records who take the masters and re-release on high quality vinyls, very good IMO, some great Jazz and rock/pop.
    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

    Analog Inputs: Pro-Ject Signature 10 TT & arm, Benz Micro LP-S, Michel Cusis MC, Goldring 2500 and Ortofon Rondo Blue cartridges, Hitachi FT5500 mk2 Tuner

    Digital:- Marantz SA-KI Pearl CD player, RaspberryPi/HifiBerry Digi+ Pro, Buffalo NAS Drive

    Amplification:- AudioValve Sunilda phono stage, Krell KSP-7B pre-amp, Krell KSA-80 power amp

    Output: Wilson Benesch Vector speakers, KLH Ultimate One Headphones

    Cables: Tellurium Q Ultra Black II RCA & Chord Epic 2 RCA, various speaker leads, & links


    I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.

    Just checked out a Pure Pleasure Records, very interesting selection, could be spending a few pounds with them soon. Was very interested to see the Sam Dees release, one of the great Southern Soul singer songwriters.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    The price of vinyl dissuades me and that's a shame.

    I don't thing they are too bad price wise considering the quality, there are even a few as low as £12.40. I purchased The Groundhogs first album for £12.40 and it's great, I also purchase a few more and have some I still would like.
