Ah! - now it all makes sense. I never thought of that. I was trying to imagine how you would accumulate such a collection normally...and my head hurt. You'd have to buy 10 a week for 30 years...and I just couldn't figure out how you would choose what to buy or not buy. Then I thought well maybe it's a genre thing, like you bought every new album by any country artist (or is that 16,000 copies of the same 12 songs...distant sound of Phil running for the hills...) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... ...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some very expensive cables ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39694 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
