Turns out this fella is an avid high end hobbyist and not a junk collector (like so many who respond to CL ads). He asked why I was selling my records I told him that I was going all digital and concentrating on my primary system. He looked around my living room and saw the AV setup and looked a bit mystified. I said not that one, the one in the home office that's playing now...I was playing a CD of all small scale acoustic music. He said, you mean that's not folks practising, "no that's my reference rig". He looked shocked..."can I see it"...ofcourse. He stood looking at the little Harbeths with disbelief....very cool. |

Next thing you hear from this guy will be that he now has 'upgradeitis' My motorcycle racing neighbor came over to visit one day. I had some classical on the stereo. The neighbors child (maybe age 6 or 8) plopped down in the money seat. I guess me and Gary were making too much noise, cause the kid turned around and Shhhhh'd us! |

It sometimes sounds like I have a piano or jazz group in the LR. Very.....live sounding. And, I'm dead certain that your system has been evolved to a pretty high degree. You've heard 20x more stuff than I have and owned far more...... My system remains stable, if that's the right word, for long time periods. |
