[QUOTE="seanjammy, post: 1042765, member: 17457"] Here?s my thinking. He?s a nice guy, but I don?t care about Achim?s steak dinners. Few, if any of the dealers have decent repair centres, nor do they keep parts. Support is a dodgy affair with anecdotes relayed from manufacturers at best, in my experience. I do, however, love this hobby. I want it to develop, share it, and have people to sell my capacious volumes of second hand stuff to. I was introduced to HiFi by dealers. Sound Systems in Rosebank, Heinz in Sandton, Alon and his drool worthy kit in Illovo. I remember walking through the HiFi show at The Indaba (and I seem to recall the Sandton Sun) obsessively collecting pamphlets. I loved it all. The chance of a chubby adolescent nerd having those experiences today are zero. Systems are locked up inside high walls, and experiencing anything even remotely high end is simply not possible for anyman. That?s a pity. It means that we will have fewer people to talk to, as we all get greyer and more forgetful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
