Cassettes are so yesterday..  ::)

Reel-to-reel tapes will be the next hipster Hi-Fi must-have. They are already rocketing in value.  ;D

Time to invest in wind-up gramophones or maybe wax cylinders. :y

I'm sure it won't be long before the average CD is mastered so poorly that they sound good by comparison. ;D

Getting up at 5:30 AM to stoke the boiler and reinstating the coal merchant? Certainly has about the right amount of faff for a hipster fad. :y

Might be time to think about dusting them off and getting them on EBay.

Speakers turned up today  :y

Tho don't believe salespeople, that say speakers don't come with cable, so bought 4m of speaker cable at a cost of £6.
The box turned up with a box of speakers inside the box plus the speaker cable.
Inside the box containing the speakers was speaker cable for them  ::)

Well impressed tho with the system  :y :)

Now have a mountain of cardboard boxes and polystyrene to take to the dump  ;D

If it wasn't £60 per metre, you're clearly not a proper audiophile ;D

That would be considered adequate for wiring up your doorbell. What are you going to use for the speakers? ;D

Remember to orient them the right way round, of course.  ::)

I'm not the owner  hoarder. Yet. There's so much shite up there it would be easier to plaster over the hatch and forget about it all ;D
