All the rest of the components only offer marginal, if any, improvements to the sound. Don't believe what all the hi-fi magazines tell you.
Also, buy used. People who buy these kind of things tend to take care of them so you don't lose much by buying used. |
Thanks a lot for the tip, I'll remember that!  |

Been about a week since someone has bought something.
I decided to buy a vinyl LP for the first time ever. I am picky about music at times and vinyl purchases will be scarce but spending $5 on a vinyl in good condition and being a favourite, it needed attention.
So terribly 80s but this was an album that I heard at a young age and have loved ever since.
Also got (on CD):
Embrace - The Good Will out
The Pop Group - Y

One of the best compilations I've ever heard !! Beautiful tracks. I mean Suicide ("Cheree" !!!), Television Personalities, The Chills, a Velvet Underground outtake, Spacemen 3, the Durutti Column.... I couldn't ask for more.
Absolute bliss.
