Michael,

Behind the scenes I've been working on ending another silly feud that sometimes rears it head here. I have reason to feel optimistic.

The banter between James and me is light-hearted and certainly couldn't be classsed a flaming.

Alex,

A single perspex shelf is on order for me to try under the CDX. If it isn't signficantly better than the MDF I'll keep it anyway as I could use another shelf.

If it turns out to be a comlete no-brainer upgrade then I'll consider changing the rest of the shelves over to perspex, perhaps one by one.

I'll let you know how it performs. I have reason to feel optimistic about this too.
