Hmm, the spare bits are rather good. I'm deliberately keeping them so I can swap around a bit and then return to my faves reassured. A cunning plan, but will it work? I believe you've had these 'cunning plans' before, did they work then?  |

The fact the Acoustic Revive is solid core is the reason I wanted to try it, just beyond my budget but will try the OCC on Ali Express and that is stranded. I will now look forward to a review of the two triple c cables  Chop chop Shoukd that not be Chop chop chop, for Triple C? My 2022 Hifi challenge begins today. I have bought the last pair of valves I was looking for. A matched pair if Orega CIFTE PCC88. Lets see how long I can last without buying anymore HiFi... (I guess I should stop visiting forums?). Two days to go, and already I am on cold turkey…. That could just be the time of year, and availability of left over turkey though. |

I'm with Tony, why not! You're never moving from digital replay so these make a lot of sense. Get selling mate, start lusting! You must have £8k in Krell Amps 🤣 |

They are pretty much perfection in every respect. You're not helping!  Although I don't care about box count as anyone who has been to my place will attest. |

I genuinely think these make sense for you Martin. You would need some severe stands for them too as they are very heavy. |

I am actually thinking of prioritising the music collection. I think the only thing that could make me spend money on equipment in 2022 is a pre-amp. |

I honestly don’t think I will.
I am in a pretty happy place right now, and I have set myself a challenge.
I am quite stubborn, when I want to be.

My Hifi "year" starts every October when my business year starts. So far I've sold a few things to cover the costs of my purchases. So the hobby owes me nothing. I have just gone and bought a Goldring G88 for resto! I'm not sure if it's going to be a keeper or I'll sell it.

Good luck Kevin. My plans are to clean more records.. 2021 involved a pretty big system change for you, so that makes perfect sense. Time to sit back and enjoy the music. |

Chop chop
