I’ve been through the full cycle (i.e. I’m old) and have settled on current set top as it meets my needs.
I have separates, old denon amp, Sansui turntable (with massive sentimental value) a DAB/FM tuner, Monitor Audio floorstanders and a Bluetooth adaptor to stream from phone/mac.
When we moved house we were lucky enough to have a room that we could dedicate as a music room.
I have really enjoyed getting back into vinyl. I’ve got plenty of albums stretching back to my youth and older stuff that i’ve listened to, but i made a promise to myself that i wouldn’t buy any ‘old’ stuff, so I’ve rediscovered the pleasure of actually thinking about what I’m going to spend my £20-30 on, reading reviews etc. rather than just pressing ‘add to library’ on Apple Music. For the times i’m not sat in there listening, streaming is an ideal, practical solution.
I think i prefer he sound quality of vinyl, but accept that a part of that is just perception and satisfaction in achieving a reasonable set up on budget.
There’s also the fact that you can’t beat skinning up on a 80’s dub 12″ and settling in for a while.

@tthew I’m fine with it myself, just looking to see if there was an angle i’d missed.
looking forward to it now.

The cycling part is along the Tarka Trail, Torrington to Barnstaple.
By most accounts, its been pretty quiet during the week, and it will be before 8am.

I’ve been lucky enough to see KT a few times now, always been very impressed, but the two times i saw her purely spoken word were just incredible.
Once late night in the RumBar at Glastonbury. 45-60 mins of uninterrupted poetry, linked stuff from her back catalogue.
the other time was in a small side tent/bar at the downs in bristol. she did the whole of Let Them Eat Chaos before it was released. one of the best things i’ve seen.

friend of mine. not the cheapest, but they are tasty, and have always found them to be pretty good.
