    think with weight you at least probably getting something well built, but i guess it can be overdone. lets face it they are supposed to be in a home setting mostly.

    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.”

    “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!”

    In my case they need to be pretty beefy to drive the speaker. Generally they get pretty hot trying.

    The Luxman weighs less per channel than the Accuphase M-60s, which are 27KG each.

    That's what I am curious to find out. Can the Luxman top the 44 year old Accuphase's? I think it probably will, but I am not sure it will.

    It occurs to me that when the Ayon Orthos II amps were here, I had a quarter of a metric tonne of power amps in the room.

    The Luxman is bridgeable. So getting back to that sort of weight will be easy.

    System simplification seems to be the order of the day.

    My Herron preamp and Chord Hugo DAC have been replaced with a Benchmark DAC1 HDR DAC/pre.

    So here is the current Tower of Power.

    Oh, and top right of that pic you can see part of a light brown wooden box with a green cable at the back (actually there are 2 cables attached to it). That's been here a month or so.
    It's a Signal Ground Solutions Signature grounding box.

    Has your amp delivery been made?

    Picked it up from DHL depot at 6:30pm.

    It wouldn't fit in my Porker so it is currently in the back of Gillian's Merc.

    Trouble is she had to go somewhere after we put it in there. I doubt she'll be back before 9.

    She gets free petrol the lucky girl. After a shafting from the taxman of course

    She's back. But I am knackered. Will at least try and get it in the house, though.
