    No, it was probably over 25 years ago - but some memories linger!
    I haven't a clue now what the rest of the system was.

    There is no cure. Self help won't work. You must have your wallet impounded!!

    I have a similar problem like Jerry. Only difference, is that I'm more scaled- down

    Come on Jerry, you know you love it. I'd be in the same frame of mind but being in France has certain advantages.

    The price of 2nd hand gear is ludicrously expensive, generally.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I have only 11 poweramps:

    Mark Levinson ML-2 monoblocks
    Radford STA15 Mk.III (Mullard valves fitted)

    Quad 50E monoblocks
    Quad 303 (x2), one fitted with XLR connectors
    Quad 405, heavily modified
    Quad 405-2 lightly modified
    Quad 405-2 NET modified edition 3
    Quad 405-2 heavily modified and 'monoblocked' by Duncan (Tubehunter). This will be a recent acquisition (they're arriving tomorrow)!
    Quad 510 monoblocks
    Quad 520

    And 8 preamps:

    David Hafler DH101
    Sugden C51
    Quad 33 (unmodified)
    Quad 44
    Mark Levinson ML10A (used as a phonostage)
    Mark Levinson ML25 headamp
    Mark Levinson ML26
    Mark Levinson ML28 (in current use)

    Methinks I ought to thin down the inventory.
