    “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!”

    Not heard their interconnects (yet). They don't seem to come along much in the UK - I had to order the LS-06 new from a French dealer.
    See, cables, they've always been an "as long as they're not absolute bargain basement they're good enough" thing to me, until I recently bought some Audience Ohno speaker cables, money burning a hole and all that. They delivered a real and positive improvement and now I'm not quite such a sceptic :/

    Apart from a fairly extensive loudspeaker modification, nothing.

    Only plan as yet (famous last words!) is to upgrade from Audio Note Copper interconnects to Silver ANVx.

    Well don't sell off the ANC cables straight away, in case you want to go back to them. I've not tried the ANVx, but any silver cables I have used have had a tendency to be a bit 'vivid' with some equipment.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    It could be worse.

    Of course not Jerry, but a wider capability often implies a greater ability to do less extreme things better.

    I am in no doubt that the new speakers easily beat my own attempts, at 1/20th the cost, hardly surprising.
    My concern is the improvement with a Dynalab if at all.

    Now that I have the Croft Riaa R in the house and have decided that my turntable set-up is yet again on par with my digital set-up I am certain that I will want to upgrade to Croft Riaa RS sooner or later. The Croft Riaa R sound signature is a bit darker than through my DAC but my two main sources are equally enjoyable.

    Also since I wrote my first post here I have discovered another "would like to try" item - a Magnepan DWM woofer (or two) to supplement the bottom end of my Quad ESL 57s. I should be able to connect it in parallel with the Quads just like I would if I had stacked Quads ESL 57s. In my small room I should get plenty of bass.

    I also see a better outboard psu for my Thorens TD 147 Jubilee as well as an original Jubilee outer platter in anodised black. I would also like an original Thorens TP63 arm wand with golden Thorens lettering. The last two items are not upgrades but just nice to have for photo-shoots ...

    Other than that ... lots of music on FLAC and Vinyl.
