ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

I only intend to maybe do a couple of DIY projects, as I already have all the bits. But I can't think of anything to buy because I have the system exactly where I want it.
(unless of course a member wants to tempt me with an Aleph 3 power amp at a modest price )
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Copies eh?
Nope
I've been building and refining these quadratic tapered expanding quarter wave transmission line speakers since I came up with them in 2006. These are another refinement.
Here are my current ones at the Audio Talk Owston meet earlier this year:

After hearing my TT through someone else's speakers today I'm thinking of giving up on my vinyl setup, sell it off and stream via Internet or my nas only as my speakers are just not good enough for the front end and the sound I want, can't change them for various reasons so at the moment I'm by close to giving up and downsizing it all as I feel for the money I've spent it's just not good enough, and it's the speakers that are letting the whole system down, serious thinking to be done over Xmas and I'll see what the new year brings.
dont be getting too hasty Mike. You might regret it. But I know what you mean; it can be frustrating to get right sound, and streaming is very handy and good too. Small speakers are hard to find that do the business.

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!”

Selling up with a system like this
Technics 1210 Mk 5 modded with Mike New Bearing, Paul Hynes SR7-EHD PSU, Sounddamped Steel Isoplatmat, Isonoe Feet, Magna Audio Ebony armboard, Mission 774 Arm fitted with Audio Technica 33PTG II - TQ Claymore Amplifier, Firebottle Vivant Phono Stage, PMC Twenty .21 Speakers, Partington Dreadnought Stands, B&W PV1 Subwoofer,
I thought PMC 20.21 speakers were rated
Have any of the Scottish mafia had a look / comment , You have a cracking setup , I can't understand whats wrong

My 2017 plans involve getting rid of every bit of equipment, cable, accessory etc that is not actually being used, and to tidy up my system and listening room.
