  • That looks great, I’d have a V60 from him.

    I do like the hi-fi simile, I’m on both sides of it. I roll my eyes at a lot of the kit talk on here just because I have a continuous stream of broken coffee kit to mend and the only thing I get excited about is user-friendliness and durability. There’s not really anything ‘bad’ in terms of cup quality out there as long as you’re putting good coffee through it.

    That being said I still covet kit that my own experience tells me won’t produce a noticeable improvement after a brief honeymoon period when it comes to music so I get it. I also roll my eyes at old audio grumpies on forums who tell people new kit is a waste of money and all this stuff was perfected decades ago.

    I appreciate this is going way off topic but if you ever have a chance to try a John Linsley Hood class A transistor amplifier or a Mullard 3-3 class A valve amp with good transformers (please do) you’ll almost certainly change your viewpoint on that! However, and I know this is a really big however, without building your own, you’re unlikely to ever find one to find out. It’s the reason I built both of mine with period-correct carefully matched vintage components and, wow, they’re so very detailed and pure!
