Alex, your Planar 3 once fettled will be surprisingly good
As for your 401, FFS get it sorted and properly plinthed!
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

If I'd got a 401 I'd probably not bother with a Techie.

The potential in Alex's 401 is phenomenal... Like Dave says, he just needs to get off his butt and do something with it!

No chance! I am however putting the dosh I save on wine into a little fund... which the woman in my life will then spend, and then I can go sing for my 401 upgrades!Failing that sell the 401!
I have a few 401 related questions, so may resurrect my original thread.
