Yeah, well have kept up with you Peder!
Maybe Dunc. But you have yet to give me your recommendations! 
Waiting is something you donāt seem very good at!!!

Iām sorry you see things that way. I have waited it out on a good ND555 deal. This is as good as it gets. All my deals I have waited out for. Itās such a shame you canāt see that! I have saved serious amounts of money and have made my dreams happen as a result!
Shame on you !

But seriously! I have made things happen. And there are reasons for that. If you have read my history you will understand the benefit this has had on my health and mental well being!

It wasnāt meant as a criticism.
When you originally said you would slow down after recent purchases & give it some consideration, I assumed you meant months, perhaps a year or so. Not about 6 or 7 days!
I donāt really know how you do it. I have just taken delivery of new ProAc speakers, not exactly an obscure brand. I ordered them 6 months ago & encountered several obstacles in getting them & was beginning to doubt ever seeing them.
You undertake many major system changes, far more complex than a simple set of new speakers, & within a month or so itās all done!

I know you didnāt mean it in any way as a criticism.
I put some emojis to indicate a jocular response. I hope I didnāt offend. I am sorry if I did.

Dan, @Canaryfan has a point. You mentioned that now you will pause and enjoy.
Butā¦ I really know what happens, when opportunities are there - and the nd555 (I think eBay) was definitely one!
Will be so interested to hear your thoughts against nds.

I fully understand that.
As you know, I unexpectedly lost my wife last August. I hoped my hobbies (photography, trying to play guitar) would be some consolation but I actually lost interest in them, finding it difficult to concentrate on anything non-essential to running a home alone.
Listening to music was the one thing that gave me comfort. Some listening was just good music but, as you said earlier this evening, a lot of music bought back great memories of music & the times we shared together.
So believe me, I know exactly what the hi-fi currently means to you.
Long may you continue to enjoy it.

I took the deal Peder.
I said I would wait, but the deal came up. I havenāt seen an ND555 for this kind of money. And it was up for Ā£8500. Got it for Ā£7750. What could I do?

Now you should try the shunyata cable 
There is a preloved one at a German site ā¦ it is so much better than vodka.
ā¦Holger, not Peder

I am so sorry about the loss of your wife.
That is absolutely devastating.
I am sorry again for any misunderstanding and sometimes my jocular approach to these things can be offensive.
Reading it back I do come across as an arse!

They lining the boxes up with the front of the glass, and the glass with the wood. It looks better and should sound better too.

Not offensive,but I did wonder if you had taken my, hopefully, humorous comment the wrong way.
I now see you hadnāt.

Holger,
Whatās box at the base?
Enjoy, Dan!
Iām sure you will, and even surer it couldnāt happen to a nicer guy.
(Iām embarrassed - not really , only a little bit) - that I had to look up what an ND555 actually didā¦but what I know of streaming wouldnāt fill the back of a Penny Black.)

I know, but all is on purpose as cable dressing tweak. 
Sending you my apologies, love and best wishes my friend. I am simply an arse sometimes! I donāt mean it but I am!
