Thanks a lot for the very kind words Colin.
I am actually in the process of radically changing my system. The TQ is staying though!
After spending years with valves and high sensitivity speakers, I am looking for a more 'eco-friendly' system and also a more compact system as I soon have to move to a smaller place (don't you love the property boom when you are not invited?).
i was reading with great interest your SECA thread. I might actually get tempted to build one at some point. Time allowing.
I wish you all the best for the forthcoming op, and hopefully with some new Solid State kit reviews by September.
