  I'm working (still), writing optimised copy for a client web site, so I'm not saying anything about hi-fi or music.

  
  

  What's your excuse? :-)

  Nice post Dave, but a few days late for me - I was in London earlier in the week and would have had more impressive things to report.
  Mind you, currently curled up on sofa with wife tracking comedy across the freeview channels. So that's fine enough. Maybe music later...

  Pioneer PL-71 (Decca SG), NVA Phono 2, NVA TFS, NVA P90SA pre-, NVA TSS mk3 power-, NVA Cube 1. (Also an NVA AP30 powering the 12inch bass units of a pair Goodmans Goodwoods. Just for some extra slam.)
  TechniSat HD Freeview into Musical Fidelity A3 24 192k DAC and InFocus X9 720p DLP projector.
  Power Inspired AG1500 mains regenerator.
  Mainly NVA cables, but with TQ Ultra Black speaker cables.

  You know, Manchester is a city I don't know. It must be 30 years since I last went there, and I can't remember too much about it.

  That's right Dave.
  But now only a meagre 4 weeks to go... ;-)
  4 weeks to think about how much the tory government are stealing from my pension pot, not simply to make my pension affordable (that's fair enough) but to pay off more than my fair share of national debt.
  Commrades gather!

  So uglymusic, and now revoltingteach'. How much more unsavoury can this forum get?

  My normal answer to this question wouldn't be very interesting. Tonight however I will be enjoying Lamb tagine and a horribly overpriced beer on holiday in Egypt :-). Back to reality on Monday.
