Prog Goons Use Headphone Amplifiers.....

Postby C » 20 Jul 2022, 20:14

Well, not all - but this one does (or did)

Just before I got ill I bought a lovely Musical Fidelity headphone amp which sat next to my CD player on my bedside.

Ideal to be used in a room not kitted out for hi-fi - like next to your favourite chair in the living room or conservatory....

I paid £499 for it and used it a half a dozen times.

It sits on my bedside all forlorn and unused as, for some reason, wearing headphones now makes me feel claustrophobic

Trouble is, I know what will happen it will get boxed up, stuck in the loft and either get forgotten about or thrown away years later.

A terrible waste.

So, does anybody know anyone that might be interested - it will be going cheap!

Very cheap

Looks nice C. but I gave up using headphones decades ago, always gave me a headache. Sorry don't think I know of anyone who might be interested - apart from anyone drops in here.

Yes - it is always frustrating in situations like this.

Somebody somewhere wants one but this particular one will end up in the loft with Andy's toys....

I'd be interested if I was in your vicinity, unfortunately that's not likely to happen for another year

I'm trying to bribe a boy to go into the loft to find the box....!

I'd be interested as well, depending on what you mean by very cheap.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.
