Your latest addi(c)tion?
I dragged my newly acquired Beomaster 8000 from Woolwich in London up to Liverpool, in a large wheeled suitcase on the London Docklands Railway, the Tube and Mainline train from Euston and I bought it knowing its not even working. I had to negotiate 4 flights of stairs transferring from DLR to Tube at Bank as well. Its in mint condition though, but I don't know if I even need it now as I have recently bought a pair of Beolab 8000's for 429GBP from a seller local to me, so its not much use now as I am now fully active in my listening area (The 8000's sound amazing, I need to re-listen to everything now, the clarity is stunning)
What a find, congrats, just beautilful

Thanks Soren but acctually I have to confess, it is not my last B&O addiction. I cheated little bit ❓
I got it few months ago but today I found some time to get it again out of the box and to enjoy, really enjoy, this craftsmanship the things were made before.
Really amazing...
And this little rosewood box match perfectly other, bigger one, I found few weeks earlier... They are really nice pair IMO 🙂

Yes just amazing how much craftsmanship they put into it in earlier days, not to speak of the items in the boxes, I have been looking for mics for my RtoRs but very expensive and the Mexican peso has gone down nearly 70 % with this government 50 % only the last year

Mmm. So artificial. Where does the money go in the end one might wonder? Is ignorance really bliss?
Here the opposite happened to me. I bought several items on Ebay UK and prices have plummeted since Brexit, making them absolute bargains.

Artificial right, normally one only want the item in the box, but I admire a work done by a first class craftsman, I see myself as one in my daily work, I love it when I can finish a job to perfection, this make me feel proud of myself. When I see a nice looking, good made piece of what ever, I always think of the people behind it, the designer, the workers, the craftsman(men), one have to give respect to all of them. When I pas my B&O floor standing speakers I always let my hand slice over them just to feel the perfect wood, At that moment I dont think about money I just love that feeling.
