    I would not run the Quad 11's where they are due to heat build up , can you move them to a open location ?

    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 Al,

    There is plenty of space around them the picture is a bit deceiving.

    Thanks Grant, my modified TD160 Super with the Philips ceramic cartridge left a big impression on Marco and Martin at the MiBO.

    A pair of restored 1978 JBL L40's with the Quad's they sound like they were made for them.

    It is a fantastic sounding deck, arm and cartridge combination. Not an easy thing to get absolutely right but you have managed to do it.
