maxg Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Sunday is the big day. They are all coming over to my house - well half of them are - the other half are going to Tony's (much mentioned ex KHorn owner now Quad 989 owner). Of course Tony had a major panic earlier in the week when he blew the right channel on his Accuphase but it seems the local dealer is coming up trumps and will have it ready in time. Told him not to buy that cheapo Japanese stuff.... (lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxg Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Fortunately I have managed to eradicate from my mind the sound of Christos' system. If I hadn't Sunday would definitely be off!! As it is I think I will try to get people to concentrate on the vinyl (which now includes some very audiophile stuff - some really surprizing I hope) and on the value for money of the system rather than its rating within the club. The cost to me of the whole thing as it stands today was almost certainly less than the cost of the cartridge on Christos system. Of course the fact that the current speakers were free helps that analogy more than a little... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arco Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Max, After what happened with Tony's Accuphase, I am still more adamant on my belief that the only worth-to-have jap equipment is of the SET persuasion!! Good gracious me, I'm only joking...But I would have to win the Lotto to be able to buy an A50V 2x50W Class A behemoth for my KH's. But, then, what a perfect synergy... See you on Sunday, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
