Tell you what Julian, drag your CDP and a few disks round to mine and
we'll
have a 'shoot out' (or 'Circle Jerk' as it is known in some quarters) -
I'm
fully prepared to put my needle where my mouth is.

Warning - my £350 'Disco Deck' and cheapo Ortofon cart held off and still
had a slight edge over the best (£3K) CDP I have ever heard, my new £1,350
RPM9/Shure V15 rig will blow your CDs into the weeds, I promise you. - You
will tell me that, however, I *never* make these claims, I leave it to the
'victims'! (Never failed yet! ;-)

Contact me off-group and we'll do it on the sly. I never mention it here -
one of the less regular posters here popped in last week to hear the
killer
'valves & vinyl' combination. He didn't even say he liked it (already a
confirmed 'vinylist' mind) but he made it plain he would call in again
'soon' with more LPs*. (I can only assume he didn't 'hate' it too
much.....???? :-)


It was an experience I hope to repeat in my own home some time in the the
not too distant future.
One which those from the 'B' ark seem to want to deny to anybody who doesn't
accept that it is inferior.



*Open house, me - when it comes to spinning the black stuff!
