Rogers Cadet 2 valve amplifier anybody? Ludicrously overpriced at £600. I sold one about ten years ago on eBay for £60. They're nothing special, I've had a few.

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
Tannoy System 10 DMT II monitors. Extremely nice sounding speakers with plenty of punch. In North London.
