But some way, some how, there is ALWAYS that "one guy". 
But when people begin to realize that it takes waaaay more character to give a compliment than to talk shit, then they truly "get it". 
Speaking of 'turntables', my best friend is a DJ and he has a pair of prestine Technics SL-1210MK5 and to this day and age of "digital sound" Nothing sounds as rewarding to the ears as a pristine album/vinyl playing through some nice 3-way speakers:
Fleetwood Mac
Doobie Brothers
Earth Wind & Fire
etc.  |
It's been really great following how your HT has come together. I'm happy you're pleased with the final result. If you're like me, it'll be hard to shake off upgrade-itis. It didn't help my situation where the retailers I shop have a 1 year trade up program on many of the products they sell. But somehow I got to the point where I didn't have the urge to upgrade anymore. it's a wonderful feeling.
And it's great to run into another vinyl aficionado. I go back to the days of the Technics SL1200MKIIs. Those Technics tables are rock solid performers. I never ended up one as I was a poor college student and then had to struggle with life after college.
But I finally got my vinyl setup done.
