I'm turning 75 this summer, but there's a few things I'm still going to upgrade. With that being said, I have about 2500 classical Lps still in boxes that I would like to give away for FREE FREE FREE !!! Anyone that's want's to come up to Bellingham, Wa should get their ass up here. Half of them are UK pressings. There's dozens EARLY DG LPs and EPs from 1950-1956. Three of those issues cost me three figures. I'm keeping the mono Jazz from the 50s.....Monk, Coltrane, Jimmy Smith, Clifford Brown, etc etc.
I'm purchasing a Denifrips Pontus II DAC to play back my large SACD collection. The format might not have caught on, but not the case if you love classical .....Glenn Gould, Willi Kempff, Martha Argerich, etc .
I haven't been here for years. I still haven't checked out who's still here. With the subject of age coming up however, I think might know quite a few
I still have two Rega RP 6 TTs.....one for Stereo and the other for Mono, but I've narrowed my collection to a mere 1500.
My future is unknown.....just like the rest of us. I could kick the bucket tomorrow. It's up to God, but while I'm still kicking, I'll keep upgrading or just changing things up whenever this situation.
I still LOVE music and this passion for audio play back. Just discovered Qobuz......new stuff to figure out.
I wish all you guys long life with music as the back drop to it all !!
