    Nice one, Paul. YT's cables are top notch!

    The biggest improvement you could make to your system though, would be to move the sideboard and all your gear from in between your speakers, and (if possible) house it on one of the side walls instead...

    Trust me, you've not heard your Tannoys (or your system) yet, with all that 'clutter' in between them, ruining the stereo image

    I'd love to Marco but my present domestic circumstances are a major impediment. One day......

    Ah I see. No worries

    Btw, next time I'm up in Glasgow, which will be sooner rather than later, it would be good to pop by for a listen and make up for the last time when unfortunately I had to cancel

    Set up the Shure v15iii with Jico SAS as I've not tried it yet on the Sony tt or with the Luxman. The AT33 is up for sale to raise funds for a new cartridge. My first impressions are that the Shure gives nothing away to the AT. Sounds lovely.

    I had been on the point of ordering a Kiseki Blue NS when the dealer offered me an excellent deal on a Purpleheart NOS. So far, I'm loving it
