Waiting for my The Truth linestage to finally arrive and hopefully be selling my Dave Slagle Autoformer linestage. Grab a second power amp, valve or maybe Accuphase so I can finally send my Cary 805 monoliths in for an upgrade and still have music. Continue buying vinyl.

I'm Martyn.
I built quite a few pairs of LS3/5a clones in 2016, now all with satisfied owners.
Mainly to UK destinations, but also a pair in South Korea and another pair in Italy.
So, for 2017, I think I'll carry on with '3/5a clones...
I have a pair of Radford 'Bookshelf' speakers to collect and work on.
A refurbished pair to a AOS member last Autumn.
Nothing, I'm done

Crazy as it may seem, my system is still not up and running! It's been through quite alot of changes over the years and is probably heading towards its most sensible setup (in years). It will still take up quite alot of square footage, but nowhere near what it has done previously!
There's alot of work to be done with our property, which I confess has suffered neglect whilst I 've been collectiing this lot! Now there's a conflict of interests and my money just doesn't stretch far enough for it all! I could just set it all up and be done with it... but that's not me!
I cannot see much change for the next six months at least, probably near twelve months in all probability. Only got a couple of Bucking Transformers, a DAC and some Cables to sort... but I hope 2017 will be the year!

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!”

Now that I have the amp and phono stage sorted, will now be looking at a Dac and will most likely be a Caiman SEG after a discussion with Stan, was hoping have it all sorted out over the xmas break but ran out time so 2017 it will be.

Want to try some nice NOS valves in the amp, try the internal phono stage with a step up (in progress) and build a Falcon LS3/5a kit.
Just bought a Fatman Trinity Hybrid Valve Amplifier
That wasn't planned
