I’m not sure I would want to be 50 something again (full-time work involving a commute to London to pay for my kids to enjoy themselves at University). I certainly wouldn’t want to be 33 again (big mortgage, babies, unexpected new clicks on vinyl records, Black Tower white wine).

I said I was 33, what’s a vinyl!? Black tower, how insulting! 
Hey, that was 16!
Believe it or not, Tesco still sell it. “The original Black Tower”.
You’ll suddenly understand when you get to 33 and a third.
No such thing as “a vinyl”. It’s a record, an LP, or an album. 
Which we play on our gramophones.
Actually I am 34 on the 3rd but I am keeping it quiet 
Girlfriend says the equivalent on Mumsnet is, ‘I’m 33, what’s a tablecloth?!’
Something to wipe your hands on when you’ve finished your meal.
I use the forum a lot less these days. I really enjoy the music room though and have discovered some great music there over the years.
I also enjoy looking at the system pics thread from time to time.
I’d say that all in all my experience of the forum has been a positive one but do try to spend more time actually listening to music than discussing listening to music and less time online generally these days.

You mean as long as the needle is sharp enough?
The forum brings “benefits” in diverse ways.
Pure technical support – fantastic. @Richard.Dane and @anon4489532 , and I don’t mean to slight anyone else by their omission. If there is a technical question - how do you connect this to that, etc., or will I break something if I do this or that . . . these two gents just know it. I learn something new every week and I’m grateful!
Bart, you are very kind, though I wouldn’t consider my knowledge in the same breath as Richard’s. You can’t own Naim for 36 years without picking up bits and pieces along the way. I’ve never had a dealer install anything and have always done it myself, so you just get to know what to do. I think people are frightened of getting stuck in sometimes.
Thanks Bart. Much appreciated.
I beat you, but not by much.
Interesting malla and your in Sussex, same as me. 
A while ago I replied that it shows I’m not the only one who is slightly mad when it comes to hifi. I think I now realise that I am certainly not the maddest in that regard, which is a even more of a comfort
