Here I am! Couldn't lie if I wanted to. She'd know... So I stopped trying. Luckily she is very patient 😂 Well, up to a point. When I floated the idea of selling the Technics SL-1300G I bought two months ago and buying a 1200GAE she wasn't very impressed.... And having now soothed the itch, she...

Another idea for writing the posts is using AI chatbots, if you use any. I do as I have never been good at selling and I find having an eye-catching listing helps - as long as you steer clear of overly sales-y language_... If you do, give it clear parameters and let it work its magic - you can...

Good advice. I am a very impatient seller and always think my stuff will "fly off my shelf" in a week or two, get twitchy when it doesn't and start lowering prices - then unfailingly regret it, but once you reduced the price, there's no going back.

Also I would try on Facebook Marketplace - there are also a lot of hifi groups, including vintage hifi, you can join and post to. And also sites like Pinkfishmedia and AVforums.com, they have classifieds.

It is. I am guilty of neglect however. I bought it as an upgrade from my CD6005 in the hope of reigniting my love of CDs (also as you can buy 20 at any charity shop for the price of a new record) but so far, I failed... Must try harder.

I am sure you can. I bought a PM7200 a couple of years ago, to replace a Denon PME800 I had never been enamoured of and I fell in love with it from the first moment. So musical and "emotional" - especially in class A But after a while I started missing a bit of drive - I moved to a Rega Elex-R...

Not heard the Arcam but reviews are glowing (including the ever important user reviews). If I remember well, one piece of advice I was given by a few people when looking for speakers for a Marantz amp was to avoid Q Acoustics as it would be too warm-sounding a combo. For what I know, the Arcam...

I had the Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 for a few years and they are very good speakers.

Yeah I did look at a few SP10 (MK2 and especially MK3). I had actually started a discussion with a chap who had a heavily modded and "refurbed" MK2 with AT1010 arm and a host of other things for nearly £4K. Then I researched it a bit and it kinda put me off. it was something about...

Yeah can imagine, but that is sadly wildly out of budget... Although - is it real magic or are we in diminishing returns territory as well? Had someone arguing that (referring to theSL1000R) on another forum.

Was about to suggest a Marantz (less punch but more musical) but sounds like you have found a nice little amp. As per vinyl, there's thousands upon thousands (more likely millions) of used records for sale online and in shops. It takes some time to learn the standard gradings and a bit of...

Anyway, couldn't go through in the end. Had the bid ready, nobody else bidding but something held me back. Maybe the extra cost maybe the DJ looks which I really am not sure about. Well if anything this, hopefully, puts this to bed - until, hopefully, Technics brings out a plain looking deck...

Haha I wish I could - one day hopefully I will be just content with my setup and spend all my time - and money - hunting down and buying records like I used to (and then cleaning and listening to them). Anyway yes, hats off to Technics. I am sure a golden eared listener would find enough...

I am in London so am literally spoilt for choice, but still do most of my purchasing online - the rare occasions when I buy new. Mostly laziness tbh as it's probably still an hour and a Hal;f round journey at the least to get to one and as I actually love the atmosphere of an hi-fi shop...

Sounds exciting. No real advice but whichever way you go, good luck!
