Mick, while I will happily agree the cds 3 is a step up form the cds2, it's little more than a meridian 588 (a good player though in it's own right), though still a long way short, of getting seriously good, Have heard one a great length (with xps 2) of 3 week period at work, I think you'll find Robbo's Sim a real ear opener, and it does the PRat thing spot on too & detail that'll  surprise, overall Robbos' system now is cracking, and I think you'll find the trip worth while

Me, I still trundle on with me heavy boxes (1 Box now & virtualy completed modding), which may bring a smile to your face.

I do also look forward to sampling some of that single malt this time, though  Tone
