    Enough already !!!
    Come on guys, be honest, is it any surprise to any of us that Marco is obviously familiar with the website he found the picture on, even to the point of knowing the 'models' by their first name.


    Until I typed the last sentence I had always thought that a model of or for anything was always smaller than full size - obviously not!
    Stan, I'm appealing to you to demand that this thread gets back on topic whilst I still have some dignity left.
    Pah, this younger generation - it was never this disrespectful in my day!!
    Disgusted of Sheffield.

    My System:
    Power: Belkin PF40, Custom.hifi.cables Hydra and DC PSUs.
    Sources: Self built HTPC with Xonar ST sound card, NAD T585 multi disc player, Sony BDP-S350, Squeezebox Touch, Techncs SL1210 (mod'd) + Nagaoka MP30, Thomson Sky HD box.
    Amps etc.: 2 x Mini-T amps, MF-X10D Valve buffer clone, StanDAC 7520/Caiman (mod'd).
    Speakers: Mission 774s with added super tweeters
    Cables: best I can afford and likely to change except Homar's RF attenuated co-ax's and Mark Grant USB and HDMI cables. I also like silver i/cs and speaker cable.

    Oooh Marco, you are awful, but I like you!

    I nearly choked when I saw that (Ursulla probably choked too, just before she said "Dave, roll me in flour and aim for the wet spot!")

    25 pieces of the Caiman PSU have now been pre-ordered and only 3 Caiman DACs are left until the next batch if there are still any interests.

    Hi Stan,
    Being first on list B, does that mean I might have to start saving up sooner rather than later? - I don't want to give those younger rapscallions any opportunity to usurp my position at the top of the list .
    Cheers,
