    Not doing an MA straight after my BA when I would have a) got a full student grant and b) had my fees paid. OTOH, I was fed up with studying at that point, so probably would have chucked it in halfway through.

    Hifi-wise; none, really. I've tried most of the stuff I wanted to try, and am happy with what I've currently got. Could probably do with selling my excess bit and bobs though.

    I regret thinking I wanted to get back into Linn, a Majik, LK140 & Karik later I realise it wasn't for me anymore. Good solid sound but not what I like now. I can see why it's called flat earth kit.

    Having said that, we've got a set up of a Rega deck, Majik amp and beefy B&W standmounters at my other half's house and its always a pleasure to listen to.

    I quite like the Linn Karik. Has a tidy kind of sound about it. But it's also a tad dry.

    It's a good player, would hold its own in a system. If I hadn't had something else planned I'd have hung on to it.

    Having the family background I did. Abusive father destroying my self belief and confidence in my ability.

    Hence no degree - self doubt - should have had a PhD and had my own major player speaker company by 30.
    But my background formative years made me so rebellious that I joined the hippy rebellion, at least in spirit in my own way.

    'Corrupt capitalism', 'Sick society' etc, and sacked twice from Gov't depts. for exposing corruption, unfortunately to the corrupt.

    Yeah they don't hand out medals for rocking the boat do they?


    Still you've made it this far and you're still breathing, what else matters? - that's what I tell myself anyway.
