Greetings.
A recent convert to this weird and wonderful world of high end audio, I'm looking to make the plunge into assembling my first system. As I'm inexperienced in this vast hobby I have a few questions and queries I'd greatly appreciate being answered.
This is a fairly long post as I'm also sharing some of my own initial ideas, just to warm the faint of heart, although I'd really be indebted if you could bare with me and offered advice.

Hola,

I can vividly recall the V-15 VMR when it was still available...sold at a discount. I think I got mine for 120 bucks.

Now, like Jim Croce in October, 1973, it can't get enough positive regard.

Perplexing.

I guess absence really does make the ear grow fonder.

Great detail, very a-Shure-d sound, but lacking in air. Forward imaging.

Almost digital.

Tonight is a shoot out with the new CD player with Neil Young's "Live at Massey Hall." We'll see if it can compete with modern CD playback.

Stalking Katie Holmes.

See him, there, lurking?

I just picked this up - I had never heard it before - and WOW! Great sound and impressive performance. Also, the Speakers Corner reissue has some QUIET vinyl - some of the lowest surface noise I have ever heard on my setup (to be honest, I didn't know my setup could be so quiet).

Of course, people here are way bigger classical junkies than I, so you've all probably heard this before. If you haven't though, it is truly impressive.

That's all.

Time for 2008 lists, here's my top five:
