    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!”

    There's a vintage one on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1723615763...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    If your phones have the now normal 3.5mm plug you'd likely need a standard jack to 3.5mm adaptor as well (dirt cheap).
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Careful with these adaptors though.... what you want is a direct connection to your speaker outputs. Many of these adaptors have internal resistors and/or vol control and therefore you would be back where you started with the stock headphone output on an amp (which usually have attenuator resistors fitted).

    Aha - totally non-tech though I am, I was wondering about that!

    Perhaps what I want is a kindly AOS DIYer to knock me up summat in a little box.

    OK, thanks Jez.

    I'll ponder my options - the seller turned down my first 'generous' offer.

    I don't need the things, in fact they are the wrong design for me in crucial ways.
    They are intriguing, though!
