    Quad 21 L i think Geoff. not a bad speaker the mk1's. they did something to the mk2's that spoilt the presentation somewhat .... Yes the SRM is a nice deck, and seriously underrated tbh... Mike Greenwood has it still I think.

    You've changed about a bit since mate. I'm still using largely what I had five years ago. Don't see any need to change much. I'd need a lot of convincing that anything would be a major improvement. (mind you I do have an awful lot of gear to play about with and make 'better' permutations)

    I did have a spell of change didnt I still, all in I think what I have now, having tried and heard many things, and plenty of other folks systems, I am probably more than sure where Ive ended up is right sound wise. It is also handy I cant afford to do it again lol.

    Gonna try to make one last pair of speakers; just for the hell of it, and fix up the leak stuff to working condition, as a vintage set, just for fun, and the fact that is looks great as well. Speakers may turn out to be not worth it but I want to find out and do ONE LAST SET

    You know as well as I, that there's no "one last set". For the time being maybe, but the 'itch' sets in after a while!

    Just get a set of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2523829569...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    The response is not necessarily even and bass is not greatly extended, but the sheer vibrancy and life of the things is uncanny.

    (you should see the prices the high impedance versions are commanding )

    As I said elsewhere I finally got round to inspecting the Chinese double psu.
    Turned out to be a poor joint on switch so after repairing I added an earth wire to iec socket and reset the voltages. It's now running nicely although not back in system as of yet. I may well stay with the batteries for time being

    Hi Grant

    I hope your not using that ps to power the Pi2/Pi3 and Dac, just look at the VA rating of the transformers.
