Re: The Hi-Fi Enthusiast

But this rings ohh so many bells
"Rely on the critic, nothing escapes him,"
thats how
usually starts
PS this must be the best bit
"Is it a religion or a disease? An American psychiatrist calls it 'audiophilia'"

Re: The Hi-Fi Enthusiast
Reminds me of my first system. Teleton SAQ 25, Garrard SP25MK2 and Wharfdale unit 3's. Took ages to build the unit 3's and solder up all the DIN plugs for the amp (was very glad to see phonos which are a lot easier). The speakers sat on the floor and it sounded a lot better than my mum and dad's old Dansette. But life has moved on - but I still like making things (Hello Colin) 
Blusound Vault 2, P50SA, A80's, BMU, TIS, LS7, MA PL200, Meridian 506 (18 bit).

I would say I was NEVER like that...my friends and family will say I was ALWAYS like that 
Re: The Hi-Fi Enthusiast
By some strange coincidence, so was I. The film is no longer representative of hifi enthusiasts though, as few these days would be able to buy the bits and assemble them like the blokes in the film.Geoff.R.G wrote:I was 4 at the time.
