    I've got some spare isodynamic tweeters for the leaks
    If the refurb involves replacing any.

    As I'm content with the set up I will be selling more kit now surplus to requirements, like my Haden Boardman valve phonostage recently modified with a volume control. I bought my Sony receiver while the phonostage was being worked on by my tech guy Dave. I have listened to it in the office set up and it's still very good. Still have a couple of lenco's to build but don't think it will be in 2017 as I have a new toy, a 1957 Ford Popular that I will be tidying up in between driving.
    I will still be taking an interest in the serial box swappers on here.

    Shouldn't be too bad as it actually had a full service from John Caswell before I bought it. However a major component of the changing mechanism was missing at the time, which I've now sourced. I just need to strip it apart to fit this bit and it should be fine. After all, how difficult can it be......?!

    Hifi put on the backburner for a few months whilst updating the AV system following a comment from my son that the system was so last decade-cheeky bugger.
    New Denon amp to set up over the xmas break followed by two upward firing speakers for DTS-X stuff. Then a new 55 inch tv-probably a Samsung quantum dot one about February of March.
    Jerry
    Hifi: IPL transmission line floorstanding speakers, Squeezebox Touch, Denafrips Ares 11 DAC, DCB1 Pre-amplifier, Croft Series 7 power amp.
    Custom Hifi cables HA10SE headphone amplifier and Hifiman HE-400 headphones.
    AV system: LG 55B7, Denon AVR -x2300w receiver, Quad 12L (front) 11c Centre and 11L rear . Velodyne DD15 subwoofer.
