    Considering where I find myself in life at the moment ...I found myself more than grateful not only for the system I have at the moment but also I am largely happy with the system I have too.......rather Buddhistic maybe but , at the moment I will not go into where I am in life but , having a system that sounds good to my ears is a great source of peace to me!

    Indeed. As Friedrich Nietzsche said: "without music life would be a mistake."

    Went in this direction as they were a good price. If they don't work I will move them on.



    Ruarks Templar. Did a lot of searching and couldnt find a bad word about them.

    We shall see. They may be the final piece or they may not. £130+ postage isn't too bad a gamble I felt.

    Subs can be difficult to integrate, but I think a lot of people are too blunt with them, subtlety is the key.
    Integration is a bit of a worry and also having somewhere to put another bit of kit made me go with the ruarks. It may work, it may not. We Shall see

    I'm generally happy with the sound of my set up, but I think I'm a bit if a tinkerer at heart and so will always be thinking about changing things. They may only be very minor things like feet or whatever because I don't always have funds for huge system changes. Saying that I am at present thinking about a pair of new speakers which will be a decent outlay.

    After a bit of recent 'tinkering' with new (to me) speakers I am very happy with the current set up sound wise... I am not planning any major changes as it definitely 'gels' at the moment

    The only thing I might do is get rid of the spikes on the speakers and change to a nice solid plinth and blu-tack to anchor them better

    Ive got speakers and amps coming out of every orifice 3 cd players too, so cannot think of anything I need. maybe another set of cans as my birthday is coming up. not that Im not happy with the ones I have but a different sound perhaps. Maybe a dac to put in main system too as I am considering consigning the rpi to the sales list if it doesnt get more use. But maybe nowt.lol still got 5 sets of speakers outwith my main system plus 2 sets for testing

    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!”

    Yes I am happy with my set up, that doesn't mean it's better than anyone else's or I'm trying to get one over on anyone. I would consider myself discerning to a point but not a hifi snob. I haven't heard many other set ups I like but some that I have didn't cost more than 4 or 5 grand. I haven't had much time to listen lately but will warm up the garden room tomorrow and play some vinyl. It's too bloody cold to play with my old car anyway.
    If people want to box swap that's fine. But if people start talking about fuses I'm out of here.
