Buying Me Some Sound

While living in the Netherlands I bought myself a really good amp and CD-player (the X-Ray and X-150 from Musical Fidelity), but I was playing them through borrowed speakers. During the entire two and a half years in New York, the components lay in storage and I was listening to music through headphones or tinny IPod speakers. Gak!

Today I put the May Day holiday to good use and added high fidelity audio back into my life. I went through a series of sound rooms with my friend Kezia and eventually bought a pair of B&W CM5 speakers. It cost me a considerable part of my first salary check, but it was worth every cent. Listening to the fabulous PJ Harvey as I blog...
