    Nice Barry. It's the goal to be unchanged for a good amount of time

    Three years ago? I can't remember what I had 3 months ago things keep changing.

    Speakers, I think Harbeths (note to self: never sell Harbeths), many sets since then, currently listening to some Reference 3As. Amp I think was the Radford but tried several in the meantime - the good, the bad and the beautiful - currently a custom PP with KT88s.

    Source has consistently been file based/streaming.

    You actually end up spending money on upgrading stuff you already own, God knows how much work the Garrard, Lenco 75, Croft pre-amp and Garrard 301 have had done to them.

    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!”
