Actually forgot all about it until you mentioned your Parasound pre-amp but I have a Parasound CDPi1000 I could have used instead. I sort of prefer it to the Sony actually, or some of what it does anyway.

No boozing I'm afraid. It was the middle of the day and Ollie had to drive back home.
Parasound has some nice gear, their JC 2 preamp is Stereophile Class A, (I always hated their rating system), they’ve got a huge rack sized phono pre that’s also highly acclaimed. And even this Halo 3 is built tank tough.

Unfortunately I don’t drink as much as I used to either, it usually results in higher volumes! Last time I had a friend over for drinks and music I continued to drink after he left, worst hangover I’ve had in a long time. But the stereo was magic that night!
