    I really like Jamie's Pioneer, sounds great and looks amazing. It was really good to listen to one and then the other and we had to agree there's not much, if anything between them. Poor old Jamie spends days setting his 2MB up and I get lucky on the third attempt with mine. Still, he went home with some empty cigar tins for small screws etc and a gammon joint for dinner.

    It does sound stunning and it was a real pleasure listening to it. All the work and time you put into it have really paid in spades.

    I'm really chuffed with the SR, everything is set up spot on and the cosmetics are done. It sounds absolutely brilliant, even up against Jamie's Pioneer there was nothing between them. I liked the music my LP12 produced but the SR is just better. I must say thanks to Oliver ( Bigman80 ) for probably the only available original Toshiba dust cover around. With a couple of hours spent with T Cut and toothpaste it's come up a treat and finishes the turntable perfectly.

    Really cracking turntable, but you need a Mission 774 on it mate!

    It's a 'night and day' difference. Truly.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I'm on the lookout Geoff but I wasn't brave enough to risk going for that Russian one that's up for sale.

    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!”
