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'm givingyouaprettygoodclue.
The biggest change for me was getting a Townshend Rock II, Heed Orbit PSU and Origin Live arm in place of my Pioneer PL-71. The performance had been OK but this shifted record to the same level as my CD (Karik + Numerik) and I must have reached the zone since I haven't changed anything for a couple of years now.
As with others in the thread my old kit trickles down to system two which is in the family room, so the PL-71 is still providing good service there (and I'm the only one allowed to use it !)
Like the OP I also had DL6s at one time, I still have one working in the garage linked up to a Denon amp and any passing MP3 player for background noise when I'm pottering out there. I have a friend who occasionally brings his old DL6s out into the garden in summer, sticks them on crates and people marvel at how good they sound.

That sounds about right I think. Hadn't heard of monarchy but Geoff uses them too.
Good kit I've been told.
Those DL6 Speakers are a gem I think. A little warm but good for digital sources I think.

Nothing has changed, save for a few more cartridges and a couple of pickup arms to play around with. Oh - maybe a few cables I have put together.
Preamps, phono-stage, turntables, tuner, CD player, power amplifiers and speakers unchanged (some for 40 years!)

Nice Barry. It's the goal to be unchanged for a good amount of time

I'm Edward.
Three years ago? I can't remember what I had 3 months ago things keep changing.
Speakers, I think Harbeths (note to self: never sell Harbeths), many sets since then, currently listening to some Reference 3As. Amp I think was the Radford but tried several in the meantime - the good, the bad and the beautiful - currently a custom PP with KT88s.
Source has consistently been file based/streaming.
Current: [P20] Roon/Tidal > Custom PC> Chevron Paradox NDF16 > Phast Pre > Neuro. 686 > Tannoy Berkley (RFC tweaks)
