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!”

Pair of DM5s. No grilles though.

Probably the best presented set of LS3/5As I have seen: ex-review sample, complete with literature and original packaging. But £6,200 is an absurd amount to pay - there are plenty of BIN offers at between £1,000 - £1,500 a pair; and even those prices are too much.
Just what is it about the LS3/5As that commands these absurd prices? Is the BBC legacy, and if it is why don't other BBC designs fetch as much? Is it that the LS3/5As do offer the best SQ given their size? I don't know - does anyone?

This is the first time I've seen ancient Eagle stuff described as "audiophile" equipment. A more appropriate description would be 'knackered and nasty old cheapo separates'.

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

Oi - my first proper hi-fi setup was an Eagle system handed down from my father. Nothing wrong with it at all, although I will grant you describing it as "audiophile" would have been a bit of a stretch!
