    Here.


    Pioneer PD-S 505 Precision CDP into Monarchy Audio DIP 48/96 jitter buster, then Monarchy Audio M22B DAC, followed by Musical Fidelity X10-D valve buffer stage, into MingDa MC-9 TVC pre-amp, feeding a Monarchy Audio SM-70 Pro Class A power amp, driving a pair of Tannoy Cheviot Mk.II 3128 speakers.

    That little lot sounds WAY good.

    All could change around at any time though.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    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!”

    This weeks system will be largely the same as the one which I have been using for years - though I have been experimenting with the use of a sub-woofer to compliment the Quad 57s.

    Yes I have - thanks Alan. It has improved the 'beaming' in the vertical plane.

    The jury is still out on whether using a sub-woofer is helpful or not. Most of the time the level has to be so low, so as not to boom, that I wonder if it is worth bothering with using a sub-woofer at all.
