    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!”

    I wonder how the bass units perform without the TL loading.

    Hard to say, but I'd think the drivers would have strong magnets to help damp the line resonance. Could be overdamped in a sealed box.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Nice to have the set.

    Just got back into radio myself. I didn't get on with my Rotel tuner I'd had for years, so never used it. Treated myself to a cheapo Marantz ST-385L AM/FM/LW unit that does the job just fine, I like the station pre-sets. Cost me a whopping £18.95 including delivery!

    Cheap as chips to add to the set lovely looking thing - Love a good tuner here too they are the cheapest thing in HI FI to buy at the moment still have the greats Quad FM 3 , 4 , Denon 260L , Sony ST 88 and Aiwa R30 -

    Should be here in a couple of days I'll rig it up interesting to compare it to other tuners was £200+ when released the 504 not much online and not many know the mod either

    Another (modest) tuner collector here; most of which have been bought off eBay:

    Quad AM1
    Quad AM3
    Quad FM2
    Quad FM3
    Quad FM4

    Leak 'Troughline' Stereo
    B&O 1700
    Cambridge T55.

    Yet I only listen to two or three stations.

    A bit of a drift from the Ebay Bargains thread, but as you are all talking tuners... What are your thoughts on DAB in a hifi setting? I'd like to be able to get some DAB stations (like R6 Music) but not if it's going to sound crap.
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    NAD 3020a prices are getting silly: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265413096...0AAOSwrrhhl8NV

    It's a reasonable choice as a vintage budget amp and not unpleasant to listen to, if not desperately exciting. It's just not worth spending a lot on and this one isn't even particularly tidy.
