“Yeah lets go along and listen to fools pontificate about how vinyl is better than digital? If it was digital would never have been invented and would never have took over so quickly!
Lets listen to the idiot at The Bell ramble on about how much better analogue is better than digital and then play really scratched and quite frankly badly looked after records to the horror of my ears!
Analogue v Digital? Idiots, unless you have thousands of pounds and actually keep your vinyl in pristine condition this is just another rich persons way of oneupman-ship.
They are just another bunch of sad losers trying to hang on to their yooth!”

“Well I visited the AudioFest this afternoon and it would have been nice to have sat down with a coffee and listened to the systems and discussed with someone technical. I have a good system myself so I know whereof I speak. But despite asking two different door attendants where I could get one (and I would have happily paid for it) all I got was a wave of the hand to go somewhere else. I think AudioClique might be a better description. If one is being invited to consider spending north of £10k on HiFi, I think a bit more hospitality would be in order.”
