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!”

Hi Peter. Welcome to AOS.
Sounds like you've had a bit of a tough time. Hope you're all OK now.
How far have you got with sourcing your component bits for the new system?
Are you hoping to replicate exactly what you had before? There may be other options now.
Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Thank you for the reply , might have a bite at this auction ,a Full Linn set up is for auction , and no it is not eBay , all the new klimax stuff but it may be beyond my price range , i am on the look out for some tom evans stuff, i had the vibe and pulse 2 , and the phono stage ,but i may look out for the beast of an amp a rotel rb1090 i had one to run the kef 207 s ,and then bought the michell mono blocks ,
upgraded to mk2 , alecto ,by townsend ,the mk1 cannot be upgraded , the mk2 with the green boards can ,

Why not start a thread in the Blank Canvas area or start a blog in the Gallery as many do, Peter. Then you can tell us how you're getting on with your system as it progesses and get some interaction with members.

Peter. We have a new member who is near you and is contemplating the sale of a decent looking Linn with Ittok if you would be interested.
You could PM him to discuss. The thread is here: http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...hi-ish-end-kit
