Would anyone respond???

After I steal componants from TWL I usually keep them for five years too!

ive been happy with the overall sound of my rig for some time now but for me half the fun is getting to try out new gear.

if somthing happened today that caused my finances not to allow upgrades i would be completly happy .

hey frank OH ! sorry,mr bling bling i too am thinking about flea powered amps & such,im dying to try the same route but until i find a SS amp that i can weld 1/2 thick plate steel with the SS quest continues.

even though its about the music its still big fun tryin out every thing in sight!

I am "in-between"...
I keep stuff a long time, but I also change things when I see something interesting that I think I want.
My prior speakers I had for 20 years. (Infinity IIa)
My current amp I had since it came out (Forte' 4a)
My pre for about 6 years now. (Adcom 7??)
My Scd777ES for 3 years now.
(I am not very interested in SACDs. I bought ithe SCD777ES as a demo for $1,700 to play CDs. it sounds wayyyy better as a transport than the Rotel transport I had before.)
Got back into vinyl and bought 12,000 (cheap) LPs in the past two years!(already recycled over 2,000, but most of the rest a pretty good)
Two TTs and two Shure V15VxMR via the web last year...
My Audio Research Phono PH-2 for a few weeks now.
The PH-2 sounds to me like a very long term keeper.
Bought myself about 100 Blue Note jazz CDs for Christmas as I can't find very many Blue Note jazz LPs...
My current speakers are only temporary (Maggie IIb) and I am getting ready to invest in other speakers, probably 1.6 or 2.6 Maggies. (maybe... as I am satisfied with what I have... but I might or might not buy better speakers anyway...)
So audio is my hobby.. I spend most of my extra income on it one way or another. Equipment or music.
PS: my Sony VEGA 36XBR400 died TWO years ago... I refuse to replace it or get it fixed. (more time to listen to music!)

Elizabeth, How & Where are you storing 12,000 Lp's?
