The only bit of old kit I wish I'd kept was the Crimson pre/power I had - though only for sentimental reasons really.

Wadia 27ix and 270se, a great combination that made seriously good music a kind soul offered a price that was too good to turn down.
Coherent Systems
Real high end sound with musicality not hifi
Guess it'd have been nice to keep all of the Royd speakers I'd collected, but then, it's been nice clearing out excess gear over the past couple of years.

Reminds me I had a decent Kenwood linear tracker I stupidly sold. Not the best deck ever but I had no money to buy a replacement even half as good and ended up with a really shonky, plastic Phillips abomination. Meanwhile the bloke I sold the Kenwood to would tell me every time I saw him how great it was sounding in his system.
Happy days.

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!”

He was from the Channel islands and we used to call him a Nazi collaborator. If there was a war film showing, when the Germans came on we would say 'Aye up Rick here's your mob now'. And suchlike. So it wasn't all one way traffic
