01-11-02: Gregm
I was kicked off the m-g-round. I had to sell the "dream system" before it was complete, and have remained calm since (only one power amp during the whole of 2001 -- but more than 500 pieces of music). On the other hand, I get to audition a plethora of equipment -- often @ home; this keeps investment down and the family financially happy, I suppose. It also allows me to contribute a few impressions here and there at A'gon -- which is fun and, hopefully, useful.
But, you know what? I miss the merry go round. Music & books are my daily food; equipment, my hobby -- and I enjoyed it! I didn't want to get off -- I mean, crazy systems like Detlof's (D, pls don't send the Swiss artillery yet) get me going... I wouldn't mind Kelly's Boulder either, A-Porter's pre, a pair of Osiris, and FM Acoustics' big pre with modified power supply.
For the time being, I'll have to content myself with listening to some of these items.
Something is always better than nothing... and, after all, I'm lucky to have what is now playing!
Enough banter, cheers everyone!
