I've been having a think about all this for a few days now... with surprising (to me) results.
Pretty much everything in my system is going to have to go!
And I'm not really sure what it means.

Mike don't do it my advise is allow the wife to go out get your fav album out and listen as loud as u can
If that does not warm your soul then get rid of your system and forget about hifi
Loves anything from Pain of Salvation to Jeff Buckley to Django to Sarasate to Surinder Sandhu to Shawn Lane to Nick Drake to Rush to Beth Hart to Kate Bush to Rodrigo Y Gabriela to The Hellecasters to Dark Sanctury to Ben Harper to Karicus to Dream Theater to Zero Hour to Al DiMeola to Larry Carlton to Derek Trucks to Govt Mule to?
Humour: One of the few things worth taking seriously

Hmmm.... much is still up in the air.
But it starts with the room, everything gets shifted 180 degrees.
Then... KT88's are out. Twin quarter wave Castles are out. Cables are out. Rack is out.
All to be replaced with 'new stuff'. Mucho DIY is in!
