    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “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!”

    Very Nice!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Thank you, it's been a bit of a journey - some 30 years! Well worth it though.

    Alan's Firebottle preamp works so well in my rig I have to say.

    That looks stunning

    Does it sound as good as it looks?
    Our education is wrong, it takes no note of the subtleties of human nature, it places more importance on the memory of an individual than how memorable an individual is. Bernard Sumner 1995

    Thanks :blushing: ! It's subjective isn't it, but a number of experienced audiophiles have heard it (including members of this here forum) and have told me that it's the best system they ever heard. I don't know whether it's that good.

    It certainly does everything that I want in terms of the SQ, so in that regard it's end-of-the road good. I won't be making any more major changes for a long, long time. Well, just need to add vinyl playback, headphone amp...
