    So say to her that you really want to stop swapping and loosing money and the answer is to buy a special pair that you know will be great forever, and go for it.
    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.

    Of wives? Genius, effectively doubling the limit of speakers deemed acceptable. Assuming they are as equally (in)tolerant.

    I see you have 3 systems Chris, does this mean you have 3 wives.

    Haha, depending on said wives tolerance to such things which I would say probably stops somewhere between two and three pairs of medium level (intrusively speaking) speakers. I'm probably (no definitely) pushing my luck given the dimensions of two of my pairs....

    Having said that I technically have zero wives although she has been putting up with me over nearly two decades now and we are bound by child!

    I wonder how many pairs would actually be reasonable grounds for divorce.... I don't think Al is married is he.... ��

    I think a prerequisite for our condition is a rather understanding better half and indeed a decent sized abode, or indeed both!
