Penance.........

My recommendation (which has probably already been offered), but I caught the start of this thread and then as if by magic it was on page 6, and I can't read the rest of the replies as the boss is hovering!!

However as a starter for 10 stop reading this.............and all others like them.................as they tend to harbour dis-satisfaction, and promote psycological distress.

How many forum forum threads begin, "my system is fantastic I'm so happy, I'm not going to upgrade any of it ever..............".

I apologise for the sweeping nature of the statement, as forums are very good for advice if you are forced to buy blind, or may prevent you from making mistakes others have made or indeed source the kit you want at an affordable price.  But there is more than a portion of people unhappy with their kit looking for an upgrade - a terrible pocket emptying cycle of doom.

So my krank (and probably repeated prescription.........)

1) Stop reading forums

2) For a couple of weeks only listen to tapes, in a car, which have been recorded on a ghetto blaster.  If your'e not mobile buy a £5 walkman and do the same, which will hopefully get you back in to the music, rather than how it is reproduced.......

3) Dismantle your seperates, clean and polish all of the contacts (even the brass mains plugs) in an obsessive hi-fi manner

4) Drink a bottle of wine and play your all time favourite albums end to end, not just the tracks that your'e favourite, play the lot and you never know there may be some brand new music in there.

Bye
