Shiny brand new second hand things in my system today V1.2

Yeah, it was pretty decent. Very high gain though.

I can attest to that

Thanks to Stu (and delivery from my Brother), the arrival of a ā€˜little’ Michell Mycro. The wife vetoed the Micro Seiki, the first and only item she has objected to, which has been a long list of kit!
I am enjoying the ā€˜budget’ end of Turntable ownership, at around 1/3rd the cost of the Rega P9.

I did love the Michell Gyro SE but setting up was a pain and no dust cover. In hindsight I should have gone full Gyro at the time. The Mycro is a lot simpler and nice and neat/compact. The wife did love the looks of the Gyro, and P9.

I don’t understand telling a partner they can’t have something. Just why?

Oh given the amount of kit I have had, its the only negative comment over the years, I took it as a sign for domestic bliss.
I’ve already prepped her for a big pair of Tannoys or Goodmans Axiom which she is fine with to be fair.

I can understand that if she just didn’t like it so you decided to make a change. I took as in ā€˜you’re not having that’ type of thing lol.

Oh no, it wasn’t a demand, just I took notice due to the lack of previous comments :smiley:

I’ve been to many houses where it is stacked in every room with average hi fi from the 70/80s,most not working but totally intend to get it working soon.

Trouble is they haven’t noticed they haven’t seen the misses since the early 90s but in there head is probably busy knitting behind a kef coda mk3

Think this is where it goes from a hobby to an illness

He posts infrequently on PFM. After he stopped posting here, I PM’ed him via one of his posts there but he never responded. I hope he is OK. He seems to have simply made a clean break from us here.

Look at his profile - he was looking in here two hours ago!

That is a separate issue. He is entitled to look at whatever he wishes to. I like Bob. He was very generous in lending me some kit when I was really very ill and not hassling me to return it while I was fecked (which was months IIRC). I would like him to see him posting here again.

I totally agree - he’s a loverly bloke and I really miss him :thinking:

Hope he still reads the footie thread. :joy::joy:
