    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

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".

A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    They really are immaculate inside, the wadding is still pure white like new. Only thing I have done is update the electrolytic caps and put some decent binding posts on the back. They still seems to be improving with every change/upgrade I make elsewhere, so I'm going to see how long I can resist replacing them. God only knows where I'm going to put them as I promised their original owner that I would care for them til their end of days!
    A mainly digital setup with a musical amplifier and endearing 1970's speakers. A CD player that hardly ever gets used and a turntable that is good enough to remind my how enjoyable my old vinyl is. Some cables and things.
