I like to think that everyone here operates on the same basis :oops:
I don't even have intentions. The play-fund is strictly for stupid decisions. :awe:

The guy brought an Astel & Kern AK240 with him. Much smaller than I expected, actually quite pretty (the AK240 that is, not the guy. :fastlove: )
Well I am interested in at least 2 pairs you have :awe:

Something needs to go but I can't decide which. Don't want to regret selling anything.

It sounds different, not better, not worse. Warmer, more bass, different timbre to the mid-range. :geek:
I think I can hear as much of the talking bits in DSOTM as with my 24/96 FLACs.

I'm considering a cleaner as well. Especially as I buy 99% second hand vinyl. Apparently, these are very good if you make your own cleaning solution: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Knosti-1300001- ... B000BFXIVW"

That's funny as I always buy new. As used records here are usually completely worn out, prohibitively expensive and never of the good stuff™ I want to listen to. Do you have so much better (used) record shops around?
