I have the same issue!!! Do you think we deep down we are hoarders and our brain is telling us to keep it?

I basically agree with your hypothesis except for the deep down part, sadly i am shallower than that apparently and my hoarder ship is right at the surface in plain view for my wife to see 🫣

Early thoughts?

Hmmm, needs more time. Good dynamics. Similar to my dynavector 20x2a.

It’s a rainy day here in Brisbane.

Time for a record.

First, a “li’al bi’ o’ Viv”. A lovely wind concerto. And then on to Asgier for something a bit more modern.

And as the day draws to a close, Talk Talk’s Spirit of Eden on Parlophone.

Going through some old photos and came across these. Some of the gear I've owned in the past and now question why I sold it 😕

Linn Aktiv system with Kairn pre, 3 x Klout power, Kaber speakers, Karik and Numerik CD player and DAC and Pekin tuner.

Some of my Sony ES collection I had at one point. There was some more not in the photo.

Weston pre and mono block power amps.

Love the Sony ES treasures, including A pair of APM 22ES Mk2 (?).

BTW I have a feeling I bought your Sony DVP S9000ES many many years ago - it is still going strong 🙂

I think they were, yes.

Came across a pic of the DVP S9000ES too. Glad to hear it's still going strong.

Also had a pair of Sony SS-G7a speakers. Quite rare here in Oz. 15" woofers to give you an idea of scale.

Very happy with the set-up & sounding well.

Krell KSA50 power amp.

PS Audio preamp.

Voyd Valdi turntable with Rega RB300 arm.

Koetsu black cartridge.

Mitch Cotter SUT.

Yamaha cassette deck with dolby S.

Love those G7s, what monsters! Never heard them, though always wanted to hear them next to the Sony APM 77W, which I do own.

Here is your old DVP S9000ES, keeping company with another piece of ES history 🙂.
