Jimmy Hughes and John Peel were catching up last I heard... No way can these people play them all now so like me and my shit turntables, it's something of an illness really... My now deceased pal had an expensive audio collection covered in plastic dust sheets and CD's in plastic boxes almost everywhere you looked. His Revox collection suffered due to unused switchgear...

I think whispering Bob Harris has a big collection
I would never ever let a collection get that big. The biggest i have ever had was just over 3000 albums which does not seem much but they were specialising in one type of music & all 1st issues so they were kinda a prized collection, all the same i still found them a hinderance. These day if i know im not going to play regular it does not stay. However this is one of the plus points with Files, You can store the CD's away & not have to look at them.

There’s a few things on there that I’d watch, such as Bryson, Line Magnetic and Amphion. I’ve bookmarked him as I’ve only just shaken off a headache I’ve had since Thursday and I want to avoid screen time.

I have a bit of a soft spot for Bryson because the amp I had was really good and they give something like a 25 year guarantee on amps they know will be used 24/7. I Gretzky admire that. Plus, they are Canadian and it’s a country I’m always kindly disposed towards.

This is a great interview with a well known collector re The Vertigo Label. Very interesting anecdotes about band members he met and knew. The guy is quite an authority and has written books on the subject. Quite a new channel that mainly does visits to record shops and fairs around London with the YouTuber's grandfather.

Dunno why he saying DM10 are preferable. imho the DM5 were a great little speakers & the D5 for that matter much prefer them to the DM2 & DM4. I used to use my DM5 upside down in MISSION style lol

My attention span these days is terrible. I kept being distracted by thoughts such as…
Get a feckin shave,
Get a bloody haircut.
Do you ever wash?
What are those dirty marks on the wall? They look like you’ve shot your load (eeeugh!)
My God, those must be the ugliest grilles I’ve ever seen.
Sorry, I just couldn’t focus on the content.

I don’t like beards anyway, but if all you can grow is a scruffy bed of weeds like that, you really shouldn’t bother. Same with his hair.. it’s too thin and ratty to be long. He needs a good tidy up, then he needs to clean or re-paint his walls….then get some proper grilles lol. That’s before he even dares to present his views to the world.
