    Not Brian's cables, something a bit further afield.
    New bit of kit too.

    Anything more will require multiple pecan pastries...

    Default I Think I Am Finished...or Zeppelin to Sinatra & Back

    had a few more vinyl plays with the sas stylus on the m55. finally settled on 1.1g for vtf. sounding very good, and although it rides low, this is apparently the norm. got another m55 with a nos tip still on so between the 2 will last me out, far less still having the ADC integra with a the new mk2 stylus , although not tried that yet



    Also a nice JVC cart which is a reworked atechnica one..atn12e i think

    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!”
