Sorry but I have to ask

it depends, what year or era,, just a few samples, bunny wailer, burning spear, freddie mcgregor, wailing souls,roots radicks, all channel1's eg. mighty diamonds, sly and the revolutionarys, augoustos pablo, jacob miller, johny osbourne,scottie, big youth, u.roy, i.roy, maitals, derrick harriot, eric donaldson, delroy wilson, african dud chapters, etc, etc,

 

Hmmm ... I can see a theme here.

A few birthdays ago, my 'wish list' included an Osterich for remapping my ECU. A head skim and build. Ohlins (needle damped obviously) would have been great, but Buddy club more in budget (shockers).

I also have had new caps bought for me in the past (as in capacitors for audio kit)

This year's birthday wish list included parts for building a new TT arm.

 

try using parts to use a straight arm not an "S" shape, pending on what t/t base you are going to use.

 

Ohlins - you have a bike as well!

Are you absolutely sure you haven't a sister....................

 

i think she has!

 

interesting ....my wife of 25 plus years ....says she can never tell the difference between bits of kit ...but she is the first to point out how bad other systems sound , if we visit friends or other social engagements .

She also listens to music in a different way ...the best way to describe it is as a whole ie if asked what the words of a song are she has just listened to ,or what solo instrment was played ....could not say. But does appreciate good sound and music .

 

most woman are very good at comenting on different hi-fi sound, though the music they listen to is very indiferent to mine. but their comments are very clinical.quite interesting.

 

You Wife is far from unique, and all the indications are you are the odd one as am I. It has been commented before that music will animate me in a way she sometimes wishes she could. There is nothing wrong with her preferring to communicate with you rather than an inanimate hifi or music emerging from speakers with no hint of performance. At least Samantha has her habit tempered by the wish to share hers socially and as a means of getting together with other people. Sitting in isolation listening to music can be a godsend to people that need that in their life, but a curse to those forced to witness obsessive behaviour and remain silent in case they annoy their beloved. Never underestimate how hard that is to live with, and don't ever stop making it up to her.

 

My guess is that a partner interested in hi-fi with completely different sound priorities would be a far worse situation that a partner with no interest at all.

Only men seem willing to make hi-fi into a religion and then fight holy was over it - woman have too much sense to get involved with such nonsense.

 

Is that the reason why most of them choose marriage?

Just wonder...
