) and how kind you were with your Arlo offer and Quad/CD4 advice and everything.. maybe one day when I grow up I too might be an audiophile! I'll probably end up in jail before then but still one can dream.. ha 
Oh gawd.. sorry Gene.. I forget you all speak proper English and not cockney codswallop like wot I does, cor blimey guv an' no mistake!
Thanks Ralph, I'm sure your system makes mine look like Noddy in toytownland..!
Funny thing about that cartoon, is in it you can see a little bottle of record cleaning potion, a record cleaning brush and all that paraphernalia.. and well, what's so funny is it's all here dotted around the "entertainment centre".. in amongst all the silicon detritus there's a Wii U, Xbox 360, PS3, 2 x LD players (I used to keep both LDP's going for those movies that spread across 3 sides so I could watch the whole thing without getting up putting the lights on and fiddling with the 2nd disc! Poor babies are gathering dust now, don't know if they even work anymore..
Its all v.modest and has to be kept neat and tidy since just about everything happens in this one small room (little dining table and chairs to the right of the pic, doesn't get used much I snack rubbish on the go mostly.. kitchen behind me, I keep my copies of Homo's & Gardens magazine in the oven since I can't/don't cook, the cupboards mainly stale dry goods, a few cans of stuff I'll end up throwing away in a years' time, booze of varying poisonous varieties.. racks of Ikea shelving to the left you can't see in the pic which can hold a wodge of vinyl etc in each little 12 x 12 cubbyhole, that I put up as a kind of room divider.. other side of which is sleeping quarters.. don't see a lot of the bed I'm up around 20 hours a day most days
Yours blood suckingly,
Count fred the vampire
(I said "Count"..! Ah ah ah..!
)
Thanks Ralph, you're a very special fella indeed.. you were my sa-cd.net hero.. some days I still pinch myself you're actually here, I thought you'd never make it over to the wonderful QQ but better late than never, you've racked up 1,400+ posts in such a short space of time.. wow! :yikes
You know, I was saying to Neil the other day I would so love to jump on a plane (*) and meet all you guys over there in the States.. we should have a QQ convention some day! What do you think?
( * disclaimer: I just have to get over my fear of flying first..
I'm in a basement... We don't even get daylight down here!
Well all of a sudden some things are now making sense.
..walls are nice and padded (room treatment, it's for the sound quality!!).. alright, fair cop, it's for your safety as much as mine.. well at least that's what the men in white coats told me to tell you.
There is a group called phonogram that had their get-together in LA one year. It was loose casual meet ups at different locations. I thought it was a tad dull. One guy I thought was a jerk online turned out to be just as much of a jerk in person. Wow, I thought he'd be cool it and give it a rest, but out at dinner even at the dinner table was making snide remarks directed at me.hmm.. hasn't got quite the same transatlantic air of glamour about it that a QQ convention in sunny San Fran (or LA or Vegas, err.. wherever all you Quad lot hang out) would have :sun
almost sounds like something out of a Derek & Clive skit...
"I met this bloke.." (etc.)
