Alex: Regarding your comment about speakers, i disagree.
Andre, I fully understand where you are coming from but as I have got older I have learnt to make allowances for the fact that this is older technology. I listen to every single thread and nuance in the music but the surface noise is minimal and I allow for it. I still work in a darkroom producing photographs that would obliterate a digital print and it is very hard work and really tiring to do with the old technology but I make allowances because the end result is just so clearly superior.

I really am a purist. There is no getting away from that. I do things because I have a driving passion for them. I adore music with the same passion that drives me to appreciate a fine photographic print. I am not interested in a digital facsimile of the real thing.
