    “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!”

    Sony STR 6055 on board phono stage is so good with the Shure Ultra 500 I sold all my phono stages. Another Sony receiver in the garage does the business there. Akai AM -U02 in the office, no tuner but phono stage is ok there too. Had various valve amps 2A3 bottle head monos, px25 monos, 300B, 6P3P in triode, don't miss any of them. Speakers are 99db Lii audio crystal 10 in tqwt, so no need for huge power amps to try and move those dogs you guys call speakers

    Hi Folks

    After looking at some of the exotic (and downright obscure!) kit that members list on this thread, it sounds a little dull to just list a Cyrus 6a. It did, however, have the singular virtue of being free, in a convoluted way. When I was arranging to move from London to my mansion (ok, small apartment) in Fuerteventura, I gave my JVC JAS31 to friend. It had served me well for 40 years, but it was past time to move on.

    Vickers Hifi had an offer on Cyrus refurb'd 6As - full warranty, lala. I had closed down my part-time online sales biz a couple of months earlier, in order to move. That left some cash just sat sitting in my Paypal account. Vickers accepted Paypal, so the largest part of the dead money in my Paypal account was exchanged for the Cyrus. So not really free, but a completely painless transaction!

    It's the now discontinued all-analogue 6a (Current Cyrus model is the 6DAC). DAC duties are ably performed by an SMSL M6, connecting a pc and tv. The tv also connects to a 5.1 decoder, allowing the Cyrus to be used for the front speakers in a 5.0 system. Additional amplification for the 5.0 system is provided by a couple of (quaintly named) Nobsound Class D jobbies, so my amps list is:

    Cyrus 6a (stereo and front surround)
    Nobsound Mini (rear surround; occasional stereo)
    Nobsound G2 (mono; surround centre)

    Cheers,
    Chris
