Hi-Fi systems

Holy cow! Them's huge. But quite cool. They are made for that exclusive niche-market of audiophile/invertebrate paleontologist.

As it happens, I am genuinely a geologist so yes!

Well into rock music.

This week I have picked up a pen, paper and my laptop and have been brewing up a new loudspeaker to replace the ammonites. They go down almost flat to 33Hz.
I think I have created a monster!

Hello hipster virgins. There is no advantage to having vinyl other than to get compliments from your bearded freak mates when they come round to drink mild and eat tofu.

Last century has gone but your virginity sadly hasn't. And nor will it while you persist with this madness you freaks.

Zip it toots. I've just bought a first pressing of Abbey Road and 2nd pressing of Dark Side of the Moon.

So I can sit in my skinny jeans stroking my beard while I listen to it.

Mate of mine collects obscure northern soul records and thinks nothing of dropping £300 quid on an original. Mind you he is in his 60's so it's acceptable behaviour for him.

Not true. Apart from the virgin stuff. *
With so much blue fluff in your lugs I'd be unsurprised if you couldn't hear the difference between your Mr Tumble singalong compilation on cassette tape played on a 1970 recorder with batteries spent by yer ma's pleasuring device, or first pressed vinyl played on a Mitchell Gyrodeck.

*Virgin sell vinyl.

Do you still use tapes? I still have my three head deck but haven't fired it up in years.
Impressive setup. Theoretically I'd love to hear a side by side of our two systems just to hear the differences.

Yep it is like this until one of your mates make you try it, then you become a convert harping on about how fantastic it is

*Cough* iPhone *cough* Mac*cough*

From what others on this hallowed site say about the magnitude of your bonce, sir, I'd say it is a testimony to Bowers & Wilkins to manufacture such an item of scale.
But on their own, headphones are as useful as an Aston Martin wheel without an Aston Martin.
Where do you plug 'em in sir? Where do you plug' em in?
