    Looks like a lot of Sony gear in there. Are you the new Sony Man?

    That is true, but I don't really know how it happened! The amp was deliberate, but the receiver and cassette player were accidental in "job lots".

    I too am waiting to see Audio Al's response!

    I've got exactly the same Sony VCR gathering dust, I plugged it in recently to transfer an old video of the band and it still works perfectly, not bad for being the best part of 30 years old. From a time when things were made properly I guess.

    We should start another thread. 'Confessions of an Audioholic'.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    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!”

Anyone else this bad with hoarding stuff?! or am I a lost cause?

    I think you have a problem!

    Just think if you sold them all and consolidated it into some nice cash what lovely bit of upgrade kit you could add to you system, if you are not using it what's the point, unless it is for nostalgia.
    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.
