    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

    Thanks Phil, yes we have nothing but praise for the NHS and over the 17 years that Colin has had his diagnosis he has been treated so well... copious amounts of Chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant and a trial drug are not nice things to go through but the NHS have been superb throughout. He will never be cured but his treatment has kept him with us so far. When he was first diagnosed in 2000 he was given about 5 years but he's still with us 17 years on and doing much better now after his most recent 'upset' and his blood shows recovery in the right direction

    What a fighter he is... he always amazes me

    Thanks again to all for your kind words, much appreciated

    Thanks Dan for your kind words...

    We should still have that bake-off sometime... I've 'trimmed' my system right back but still have 2 x AN amps which is a bit extravagant I guess.. the only one I could bring along would be the Oto as the Meishu is just soooo heavy... it's a two man/women lift

    However I think you have plenty of kit so it'd be very interesting to take a listen

    Do you have any valve amps Dan ?

    It's under sixty pounds Bev. Easy to cart about.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
