Have I missed much?

[MajorFubar]

Three months away, I can see a few cosmetic changes and the forum does look a bit busier. Which is very good. When I left in early September, activity seemed to be petering out. Three pages into the 'Active Topics' you ran into threads that were a week old or more.

PP tried an Electro CDP, which wasn't enough to topple the Naim (and caused a row, which ended in a temporary banning...which wasn't PP) .....that's about it. *biggrin*

 

[macdiddy]

someone has started another cable thread which has gone down the usual route of a slanging match between those who can hear a difference and those who can't, think someone added some science in there also just for a change.

*help*

Nothing of note.

lol same old same old, then.

Hey don't knock the difference a digital cable can make, I upgraded the micro-USB cable that I use to connect my DSLR to my computer and you want to see the vibrance of the colours now when I pull the photos off the camera's memory card. I'd swear the photos were taken by a better DSLR! Though I can't make my mind up whether they're even better when I read the SD card direct from the slot on my Mac...

(there is a risk someone who doesn't know my opinion of old will take me seriously)

Yup, as Cno alluded to: I was verbally assulted because I didn't really take to the Electro. Wouldn't mind so much if those people had actually heard the brand...

I was recently ill for a couple of weeks then hospitalised for a further fortnight. So I was away from the forum for about a month.

Under other circumstances it would have been nice to be away from it 🙂

The experience has rather hit the 'reset' button on my interest in hi-fi (absolutely none right now), so my interest here is going to be somewhat limited for a while. (Strange as I have actually saved so much money in the last month that I can now afford a few quite 'interesting' options.)

I am looking in here a bit every day, now I am back home, but books (and audio books and dramas, comedies etc.) are my 'thing' right now.

 

[MajorFubar]

Think my interest in any of my hobbies comes and goes in fads. Sometimes I'm all over my cameras and photography, then sometimes it's HiFi. On top of that I maintain some older cars, and I write music on my computer / keyboard. The hobby currently enjoying all my attention is writing music.

Hi welcome back I like to keep an eye on things like you I have one or two hobbies so there always some thing going on

I was treated to tickets to see the Who in Nottingham last weekend that was a Blast

Yes it's strange how interest in hobbies ebbs and flows, one constant though, seems men of a certain age have to have something to become obsessive, expert, and interested in!
