Does your Avatar signify that you are still committed to vinyl Gaz?
Does that say anything?

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.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I'll rephrase it then.
He may, or maybe not, be flogging off his vinyl replay equipment

And with the H2’s in place, the vinyl sounds wonderful....
so not so sure anymore!
Selling the vinyl rig was to short-cut the waiting time to my (final?) upgrade to the digital side, probably happier now just to wait and save up as I’m enjoying vinyl again like I used to.
Yeah, it’s more of an investment in your time/ convenience etc, but when playing records sounds this good....

Hi Gaz,
Hope you don't regret the selling of your cherished Edingdale speakers. NOTE there is and always has been just a single 'd' in the spelling i.e. EDINGDALE. But no matter. Hope the new speakers continue to delight and you enjoy them for many a year to come. Hope also they are going to a good new home to be cherished by there new owner.
In April I decided to fully retire Reiver Acoustic and shall not be building any more speakers. I have not posted on here for a long time as basically I was doing very little in the way of new speakers and hifi in general. Hence my decision to finally pack it all in. I am more than happy with my Edingdale GT speakers that have surpassed my expectations. They are simply the best ever Edingdale's Scott and me have designed. Period.
So having retired from hifi I have 2-pairs my old personal speakers going cheap. Should any one that has been following this thread and thought they might like to buy your old speakers I have a pair my personal Edingdale MKII speakers to sell for not a lot more than what you sold your old MKI's. These are finished in TAMO Ash veneer, which is a rather expensive real wood veneer. I also shall be selling my personal pair of Edingdale SR's. These are a upgraded version of the MKII and in their own right a stunning speaker and better the MKII's. These are finished in Oak veneer. They are a little more expensive but around half the price a brand new pair would have cost.
If the moderators do not object (and I am not breaking any the forum rules?) and not wishing to steal Gaza's thread, and the fact these are sales of my old personal (not previously for sale) speakers, anyone who is interested in buying or wants to know any further details on my old personal Edingdales please email me via the forum. I need to clear some room in the house for my new hobby and interest of radio control model airplanes.
Gaza mate don't sell your vinyl setup you'll only regret it once it's gone.
