Cut down system on castors as I'm getting decorated shortly (does the 303/Croft combo actually sound better than what I'm used to)

HaHa - I have to store some of my CDs in crates like that! Not an ideal solution.
I dread to think how my 'spare' equipment would look, stacked up like yours: 5 tuners; 4 preamplifiers; 8 amplifiers; 2 cassette decks and 2 CD players. Plus 15 cartridges, 6 arms, 3 turntables and 2 reel-to-reel tape machines.

Haha - you're not far wrong: half of my wardrobe space is now occupied by my girlfriend's clobber. Still, it gives something new to relax in and get 'in touch with my feminine side'.It's his frock collection that's taking up all of the space!

Not caught up with me though. I'd take a photo, but there's so much gear I can't get back far enough from it to take one.
(and you think I'm joking)
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Throwing down the gauntlet, eh? At the weekend I will take a few pictures and show you what it means to be a serious kit hoarder
