Loved my old 10X5 on a Rega P25. I should have stopped there, but I just had to keep "improving" things. That Dynavector was the most fun cartridge I ever heard. It was all about the music. Those guys at Dynavector know what making a cartridge is all about.

Anthem Pre L1 w/EH 6922 gold pins, a pair of Adcom 555s bridged for mono running my Vandersteen 2Ce Sigs, all fed from a Musical Fidelty A3cd......The soundstage was breathtaking. Seriously. I had friends bringing cds over just to sit in the chair with eyes closed. "It's almost like I'm right there!", was a common comment.

Then, I got the itch to "upgrade"......................

"Upgradeitis" is a serious affliction, expensive to treat, and impossible to cure.

My case has been in remission due to an even worse affliction known as "insuranceitis", which I've just brought under control for next year at a savings of $1,250 per month. I'm just hoping to regain my strength as I now have a case of "truckitis" which needs to be dealt with before I'm walking.

My uppgadis days are over, the PX-2 with either a DL-160 or Signet TK5e or AT31e is musical enought when played through the CR-3020 and the NS-690s. More interested in concentrating of the playroom now.

Well, that was back in the late '90s, early '00s when yours truly had more money than Daddy Warbucks.

They've been shaking me by the ankles for some time.

Don't you run a Rega?

It was the artificially inflated price of housing that both made, then killed my source of "extra" income. See, if you toss a rock into the air, even if it leaves the airy part, it will eventually come back down. In August of '05, I figured home prices had outstripped the rise of incomes. Which could only mean one thing...........................

(Ladies and Gentlemen, I refer you to the last five years.)

...........so I sold the last house and got out.

The trick is in knowing when the game is over. I didn't really "lose" anything.
I simply went back to earning my money the old fashioned way.

With tools and sweat.

How many Wall Street types do you suppose would be willing to do the same?

None, would be my guess. They'd rather embezzle it from the taxpayer.
Too bad the bastards don't leap out of windows anymore.
That would have been preferrable.

Yeah, a Planar 2 but it sits beside the PC so I can transfer vinyl to CD - only because the slot in the car radios are too small for vinyl.

I think it was foresight on the part of architects, you can't open windows on tall buildings anymore - unfortunately. But then they would rather stand in the window drinking champagne, laughing at the "poor huddled masses".
