Is putting a tie on a duck the same as putting lipstick on a pig? Just asking for a (non human) friend.

 

[Lagonda]

Pop on Chris Rea's "The Road To Hell" when you're on yr way.

No way ! I think it is a digital recording

I don't know. Ask the Pig what color it wants.

Can I pass on that, Tim? More productive things to do w my time.

 

[tima]

Fine with me ... I have no quack in this game.

Wild and expensive goose chase is the hobby

Starts in a wild and expensive goose chase... ends in a tasty foie gras of horns and set.

 

[spiritofmusic]

You guys have vivid imaginations. Good thing you're not let out of the house.

Although I could easily live happily in planar/SET ville too!

Only on a short leash

I see the highbrow intellectual standard of WBF is being maintained.

 

[Audiophile Bill]

You lot need to desperately see a quack

 

[spiritofmusic]

Tbh, all audiophiles need professional help. Upgradeitis could form the basis of a whole lecture on OCD.

 

[marslo]

Modern medicin is helpless in such a severe case

 

[cjfrbw]

I brake for high end speakers.

 

[spiritofmusic]

Actually Marslo, not so severe here.
Audiophillia is best served by NOT having the cash to make potentially poor decisions. Otherwise like other more badly afflicted individuals, I would end up w more tts, arms and especially carts, and the crazed fever of running multiple systems.

Nothing like bearing down on a good sound, and spending a little ongoing to gild the lily. Not falling foul of "baby/bathwater syndrome".

When my GF asks me did I enjoy my listening session, and after I reply I did but I'm looking to perform radical surgery on it, what do you think a person not infected by our crazy mass hysteria would conclude?

That you are missing a bottle af a strong alcohol, it’ s less expensive and more effective

 

[spiritofmusic]

Hey Marslo, the ale here in Norfolk is particularly good. We live less than 15 miles from a brewery. Plenty of sorrows can be come to terms with over a bottle or three.

 

[spiritofmusic]

Indeed, life here outside the craziness of London is whole levels better, my new room is the ultimate upgrade, and thus the itch to upgrade doesn't irritate quite as much.

 

[NorthStar]

Sometimes our latent sickness can be triggered by outside events.
My system was playing better than ever, upgrades where in the far horizon.
A malfunction in one channel of the Aesthetix Io has triggered a upgrade with
a extra Phono input and volume control. The importer does not reside in my
country and someone has a MBL amp for sale only 4 hours away from him. Perfect opportunity for a 2 day road trip and spending the rest of this year’s
vacation funds

When sick we stay home, listening to music.

Better have a system than no system ...
