This is all fine. We all love to go into the hall of mirrors at the
fair, don't we?



He hasn't *gone into* the hall of mirrors, he has *moved into* it -
the
Cyrus gear has all been sold, I gather.


I wonder - will he stay there, though?



Dunno, what's scary is how he's ditched everything he had and made the
complete 'leap of faith'!! Myself, I operate at least a 'one on and one
in the wash' MO and have 7 or 8 different stereo amps here, just for
starters....




You need to know I'm not *selling* anything, Don Old (other than when
I
*am* selling summat) - when people come here for a listen and start
making better or worse noises, I shrug my shoulders. I have a ton of
*everything* and I like it all - right now is DAB on SS amp, later
(much
later if this sun holds) will probably a bit of vinyl on triodes/horns
at some point.


I've given up listening to DAB at home - it is just too unpleasant.



Whilst FM on the TLS80s can be just a bit too much of everything
here....

goes to check

Nope, it's fine and I've left it on! Must be the weather!



When I want to listen to the wireless, I use Freeview (except when I
am sat here at my PC, in which case it is an AM/FM clock radio I got a
million years ago with my Esso Tiger tokens).



My most-used bit of 'audio kit' is a wooden-cased Bush 'old style' radio
which I must have had for 20 years (significant birthday present) - it
gets used every single day at some point!



(There's one or two here could do with a trip to the hall of mirrors
when it comes to throwing the 'bigot' word around...)



Life is far too short to get wound up about all this stuff, really.



I think so, but you've got to counter their hot little faces and their
silly little 'attacks' with summat, ain'tcha? ;-)

(It's only fekkin' *hifi* at the end of the day!!)
