Iain, when I'm really "listening" to music, image matters a great deal
to me. It's just that 95% of my music playing is not like that.


Hi Don. Isn't that called "casual listening" ?
I wish I could do it:-)


Easy - I don't have a special music room. And if I'm playing a music
video, that creates all of the image for me - it overrides the sound.

Whenever I listen to my system (I have a separate music room on the
lower ground floor) I totally forget everything else, and time stands
still.
I am totally absorbed in the musc.

When I finally swich of my amp, and come back upstairs, the house
is in darkness, and it is 0300 hrs!


And is there a sarcastic note left on your cold dinner plate? ;-)

No.Never:-)
I take great care not to neglect the lady I love:-)



But that's what a good valve amp does to you:-)


Yes, a good valve amp can be as good as an SS amp, just a whole load
more expensive.


Hey. This is high-end audio:-) Who counts the pennies?
I built the amplifier myself. It sounds and looks just as
I want it to. Hence a very high satisfaction factor:-)
