    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!”

    There were some fab looking music centres around when I was young back in the 70's. My cousin had a great Sharp piece that sounded lovely to my ears

    Here's the one my cousin had https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-S...AAAOSwW8FbDvGp


    He also added some Wharfedales, Lintons I think it was and ran them additionally with the originals.

    As I say, certainly sounded musical as heck to my ears - loved it ! and brings back good memories

    No laughter from me - some of those old music centres were surprisingly good and that looks like a fine beast!

    How does it sound?

    I’ve not listened to it yet but hoping it’ll sound as good as it looks, build quality is excellent.
    I’ll hook it up tomorrow
