    The transactions was finalized a few months ago. A long journey to Toronto from The Netherlands via Schaffhausen was finally completed when I collected these from my friend last night. It's fantastic what a good friend network can do!

    Not paid for yet but just arranged for a chop job on my wee pal Buzz, boy do I feel guilty but it does make sense as his naughty ways are active already at six months old :(

    Forgive me son.

    In the '60s, it was Seiko proved to the world that Japan could produce top-class watches. In the '70s, another Japanese company made a similar statement, albeit in a different consumer electronics industry. I owned one of their legendary tuners for years, and have now been lured back into the fold...

    Nice rack. :)

    If you've got the room, analogue is coming back in a big way. My ears aren't trained enough but most sound engineers (and, I deal with many of the best in the business) claim the "warm" sound of analogue (and ten thousand other + adjectives) can NEVER be replicated with digital. Not even open to discuss for these mostly men - it's a male dominated sub culture

    One of our listening rooms (stage) is completely built around Myer analogue and we've won just about every award which exists for categories like "best sound" (in many cases - for the world).

    Thanks. I am old enough to have started with LPs, and have enjoyed listening on good quality components. Much as I can appreciate the organic sound of analogue recordings and associated equipment, I am perfectly happy with well recorded CDs heard through good gear.

    More than a few audiophiles wax poetic about the sound produced by '70s components over many years, but of course there was broad variation in the type and quality. I do prefer a warmer sound and good imaging, and am willing to give up some clinical detail. But from long experience I can say that system matching and the acoustics of the listening space are far more important than most realize, and so acquiring individual components can be a treacherous game. Your experience with Myer (look interesting!) undoubtedly buttresses the point.

    Cheers,

    Tony C.

    Not easy but as i've caught him a couple of times trying to have it away with old Sandy something has to be done :(

    Admit i'm an old softy and the thought of taking him in for the op and leaving him for the day is not pleasant.

    Like I wrote - I've a bit of a tin ear but you're spot-on about space design and layout right down to textures.

    Engineered flooring, ceilings and walls are a big thing. I've been in rooms which are built on silicone rollers. The entire room moves with the sound lol

    Literally.

    Just got this in from dougiedude. I bought it for my daughter and I'm sure she will love it. A very pretty little watch at a bargain price.

    That's a nice one!

    What is it? Is it reasonably sized (<42mm IMO ;))?

    Just won this one on the 'bay.

    A bit of a 'crap-shoot', as this was the only pic:
