I just wanted a turntable, honest.
I'd been wanting a new TT for a while, so Burke and I went to one of his favorite A/V stores (Audio Concepts) today to audition a couple of them. By the time it was all over, I'd made a mess. I had stopped by the store yesterday to ask about using a Rega P25 in the audition along with the P3 and Nottingham Analog Horizon and noticed that they had their Aerial Acoustics 7B's on for 40% off. Since the audition was going to be held using Maggie 1.6s which would NEVER fit in my HT/music room, I asked the sales rep if we could substitute the 7Bs as they were a speaker I could see upgrading to someday.
Well, you guessed it. Along with the Horizon TT, the 7B's are heading to my house. To add to the total lack of self-control, along with a Grado Sonata cartridge, a NittyGritty model 1.5 powered record cleaner and a Symposium Svelte Shelf all wound up in shopping cart. I'll get the Aerials next week, but the rest will be about 2 weeks before they come in. Plenty of time to go through buyer's remorse - heh.
There will be no further upgrades in the Meek household in 2003! This is final.
Unless I need a cable or two. . . or wait, my center channel doesn't match. . . or my surrounds. . . oh Jeez, what about my amplification?
