Description

Being a home Dad (or full time Domestic Engineer), I am in the envious position of having time to listen to my system most of the day. Now, some might say this is a good thing, but continual listening can lead to continual upgrading, or the wish to anyway. Therefore, my system as it stands, will hopefully remain stable in its basics at least. Cables and "tweaks" etc dont count IMHO. Having said that, I am irresistibly drawn (nay compelled) to read and absorb every piece of Audiophile advice/specs/product news/for sale item that I come accross (Damn you eBay!)

What a wonderfull, enlightening hobby, where the end is always in sight, but never quite attainable. Where the law of diminishing returns is a cruel master. Where a 1% improvement can make you jump for joy and where the prose, the praise and BS flow side by side in torrents (I'll leave it up to you to decide in which category the above belongs)
