i keep stuff until it breaks if its good :)
i also have a set of infrared noname headphones that i like
basically i got those speakers and amp and i can hear every subtle nuance
of a cd like Underworld's Dubnobasswithmyheadman, which is sort of my
fidelity testing cd because its mastered very quietly which is rare and
i've played it so many times i know every little detail of it.
so when i listen to dark & long and can hear the super-low-quietly-mixed
ambient elements in the background i know i'm getting everything, and i
just really cant imagine anything 'better'
i like the older speakers too like the altec lansings
i also got an elliptical needle for my audio technics lp60 and i think it
tracks better even on scratchy vinyl (also fyi the lp60 has a fixed 3 gram
head weight)
i realize this is stupid to a lot of people, and i get it, but i like
owning physical media. there is to me a whole 'experience' (yes i know,
throw rotten veggies at me) in putting in that media and listening to it
from end to end.
