Tír Na HiFi

Occasionally I feel a bit guilty with spending money on hi fi when it could be put towards other more practicable things etc.

But if would appear some of us are in the Ha'penny place when it comes to some items. Recommended Retail Price is around 319K euro, but if you have 125K you can "get yourself a bargain" Wavac SH833 valve amplifier, tipping the scales at 500kg and pumping out 150W of power.

Apparently only 6 sets were made, two of which are in Europe!

might have to think twice about putting that upstairs.

My good wife would definately certify me if I brought that home!!!!!!!!

Personally I wouldn't spend any more than €20K on new equipment for the whole system.

You'll need speakers .. How about these for $685,000?
