    Thanks to Tony for doing the driving and thanks to Mike for the hospitality .

    Excellent day out and must say I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Mike's system . I thought your digital sounded very good indeed , however your vinyl sounded superb . IMO it's right up there with the best systems I've heard .

    I loved those big Tannoys which didn't sound anything like I'd imagined . They were open , and very musical . I thought your turntable sounded fantastic as did your Firebottle phono stage .

    The PrimaLuna power amp sounded every bit as good as it looked , absolutely beautiful .

    Thanks again chaps

    I reckon thats discrimination....all these social justice warriors that go mental at the slightest criticism of what you assign to....apparently some folk have different tastes---go figure!!!!

    Shame I’m away and couldn’t make it, would like to hear the system now Mike, that’s some nice kit you have there now.
