Arn't cheery and fatalistic mutually antagonistic? Ahh! being a Gemini might explain that conundrum...
Well at least I wouldn't let the side down and maybe entertain you with new and exotic entries (which by the way are very affordable) if either prove as good as expected, the low-cost end of audiophilia will get another nice boost. I have moved house and the system will be set up in a very large room, totally inappropriate for my little Crafty Tl's so I don't expect miracles but I do expect wonders! Most of us can only dream of the really high-end stuff and I do have a personal commitment to finding fabulous systems that are really affordable. For those of you who haven't heard my previous rantings, there are two absolute Musts on the short list for great cheap gear. The first is the Crafty TL from Holland, which is a miraculous little speaker
(given the right amp and a lot of break-in time) the second is single strand OSCC wire, sourced in Singapore off-the-reel, for peanuts. Actually the third, albiet not cheap, for those who live in the UK or nearby (this is a shameless plug!) is to send your aged cd player(that was great in its heyday) to Brent Audio in England. My Marantz went there twice and I persuaded a friend to send a rare old Sony hi-ender to him with amazing results. Over and out
