I missed vinyl - when I was 15 and could finally afford to buy my own music it was all CD's.

I feel left out

I remember when I first came to London and I was on the train into Waterloo and I say the Battersea Power Station. All I could think of was the pig they tied to it for the cover of Animals.

I bought the Shine On boxed CD set of 12 Pink Floyd CD's years and years ago.

the story goes that when they were doing the photo shoot, the inflatable pig came loose from its tether and drifted into heathrow airport flightlines......huge floyd fan myself, seen em twice live, saw the auzzie floyd at the albert hall a few weeks ago, quite good......

It was my dream to see them live, but I was too young

I should add that Ians living room consists of the stereo in the picture and 1 chair!! He reviews hi fi for a magazine as a sideline and as a result has a sound sytem that costs more than most 2 bedroom terraced houses in london.

abusing his position as elder(or should that read old) brother

Dave, that makes me sound even sadder than I actually am. There are 5 seats in the room, and other people do come and listen occasionally. This qualifies me as a "Billy some mates" rather than a "Billy no mates" - an important distinction.

Just out of curiosity, what are the electronics / speakers in that bling hi-fi ? I can't quite make out the logos....

[Ian Harris]

Electronics are Musical Fidelity kW series, speakers are Martin Logan Prodigy electrostatics, turntable is SME Model 20...all top stuff!

[beancounter]

Yeah, looks heavyweight.....

I'm at the opposite end of the amplification spectrum, using DNM's (less is more...) with Arcam and B&W

Nothing like your kit though !

[Ian Harris]

Heavyweight is the operative word! Total weight is in the region of 500 KG - the lounge is on the first floor of my house and getting that lot up the stairs was not fun...maybe I should have gone the DNM route!! (nice choice btw!)
