Thanks Tony,

Had those Salamander designs in view before, I remember now. Still, looking beter in your pic, than on the site.. filled with our favourite brand Too bad no local dealer for me around.

Cheers,
Marius

Marius,
I ordered mine through Amazon.com. I don't know whether that would work for you in Europe.

No one has a new acquisition since June 2012??? .

That's a real nice cabinet!
I think we all kept buying stuff, Tony. It was just that posting about it became a bit of a drag as you would get friction from certain people if your purchase deviated from their view of what was "appropriate" or orthodox.
Oh well. Screw 'em.

Here's my latest :

Beyerdynamic T1's. Got a really good deal on them at a place you wouldn't expect : Long & McQuade. Man, I don't think I've set foot in there since I was playing in bands back in the day...

Thanks for rejuvenating this thread, Tony. I always thought it was fun to see what mischief we were all getting into.

D.D.

If the toolshopping continues to be a serious burdon for you I will sacrifice myself and become your personal shopper.
But only because I know you from here.

You are awesome Anonamemouse

Be well...

Simple, affordable, portable, comfortable, they can be used to talk on an Iphone and sound decent.
No amp needed, all for a c-note. Logitech UE4000

I've just taken on Dynavector and got a load of demo cartridges, the XX2 with their P75 phono stage sounds superb on the Rega RP8, if I'm honest it is probably the best I've heard vinyl sound. trouble is it has started me on another vinyl buying spree, not that I'm complaining

Laundrew is looking forward to picking up his new ride this Saturday and joining the 21st century by been able to see the album information displayed from his iPod on the dash - the commute just got a little better. On an interesting sidebar, my Toyota sales representative called a few days ago and inquired if I required more information concerning "my Camry?" Well Ralph (name changed to protect the innocent), your offer to purchase was somewhat weak considering it would of been the second new vehicle we would of purchased from you in under 10 months

Be well...

Jeff took delivery on his OPPO BDP-105 a couple of weeks ago. Jeff is a happy camper.

Living proof that when properly made, digital equipment can not only work for 30 years but also hold a calibration:

Wondering why Bryston can offer only 5 years warranty on digital stuff, the prices are in the same league as these puppies when they were new.....

Laundrew · « **Reply #1134 on:** 2 Feb 2013, 12:19 pm »

Many years ago, Laundrew owned a lot of HP test equipment and it was rock solid - fondly remembers his spectrum analyzer.

Have not used these in years, brings back memories. HP made some solid stuff that would often pass the 1 meter test.

New equipment (PNA's) is more computer than measurement equipment. It bugs me to pay $10,000 for a feature and all they do is email you a key to turn it on.

Some of my toys from many years ago - test equipment on the left and shortwave radios on the right

Oh...classics

Laundrew, do you still have them or all gone?

Mhhh.... the times when tech companies were run by engineers and competition meant "who makes the most precise and reliable instrument".....

These days they're run by people with dubious qualifications and competition means "who gets the biggest bonus this quarter"...... until the company is completely run into the ground.....

...and after the employees pension funds are squandered by corporation busters and the pure, unrefined greed of CEOs. To rob the working poor, to steal the dignity of a peaceful retirement - a 21st century Orwellian Animal Farm.
