Ah, TG, you shook his hand ... but did you make Richer any richer? Well, someone had to ask! I'm awaiting a replacement amp (pre-amp to replace an integrated amp) but haven't been given a delivery date yet. Whatever you bought, TG, I hope it does all that wonderful music justice! Mitch Well, I'm now listening to some music via my replacement pre-amp ... and I'm pleased to say that it sounds good!!! But, as usual, I didn't do enough research and so the set-up was a little more problematical than simply replacing one box with another ... ... despite same brand some of the interconnect cables don't fit. Instead of 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack I need 3.5mm jack to phono (for system automation); and instead of stereo phono to stereo phono I need stereo phono to 5pin DIN (for AV link-up). Oh well. It's all about the sound and so far ... so wonderful. My first piece of music: John Barry's Main title from The Ipcress File (1965) ... I know it can sound better (upgrade speakers, living room, hearing ...) but for the moment this makes me a very happy listener. Mitch

Great choice of premiere, Mitch, but wait until you hear Dunkirk on it Ah, I presume you mean watching the film on BluRay rather than listening to the score. If so, I have a dilemma (ignoring the fact that I'm unlikely to watch that film* ... at least until it's broadcast) because, in my wisdom, I've set up a very good AV system (albeit somewhat dated now) but a far better hi-fi system. So, when watching a BluRay, I have a choice: 5.1 surround AV sound ... or better 2.0 hi-fi sound? Oh, the problems we face ... Mitch * I presume you mean the recent film, rather than the John Mills / Richard Attenborough 1958 film of the same name ... based on the novel by the author of Flight of the Phoenix (1965) and The Quiller Memorandum (1966)
