Those annoyingly wonderful people at the Burning Shed webshop have just put this in their newsletter to really tempt me into spending more money:

I do love a bit of KC. I took delivery of new, BTE Designs Lenco GL75 (with audiomods arm) last Friday and used Crimson's 'Starless' to put it through its paces as a test track. It sounded superb, though Ant was somewhat bemused by my description of the experience being 'emotionally draining (in a good way)'. I'm sure anyone who knows the track will know where I'm coming from. :) This post has reminded me I need to stock up on some of the remasters.

Faced with a decision like that, I usually sit myself down and ask myself some serious questions. Things like "am I actually going to sit down and watch the Blu-rays?" "Will I really make the time or actually get the inclination to listen to 20 CDs of stuff related to the same 8 track album?" And while "I Talk to the Wind," is one of my favourite songs "do I actually want over 25 versions of it?" (The version with Judy Dyble is best).

Then I convince myself I actually do want all those things, buy the bloody thing, put it in a rack, and never get even half-way through playing it, let alone watching the Blu-rays. :lol:
