welcome jonty , hope you will enjoy them

absolutely superb band , this one is great . think Kraftwerk meets Genesis

rather effective powerline axis available now 299 inc delivery [ 600 rrp] https://www.futureshop.co.uk/isol-8-powerline-axis-5-way-mains-block?gclid=CjwKCAjw2dD7BRASEiwAWCtCb-2PmGMPIS1vPnIgak7SlJ2_yiWLRMLQAT4djJJF9C8aNsIfZPqF2BoCDbAQAvD_BwE Every system needs a quality power supply to give of its best. PowerLine is a family of compact Power Distribution Units (PDU) that are designed to lift system performance, harnessing ISOL-8's power expertise at an affordable price. In combination with our range of IsoLink shielded mains cables, PowerLine offers a flexible but powerful solution tailored for those who put performance and value first. All versions feature an anodised 6mm thick CNC'd aluminum top plate. This forms an ideal mechanical foundation: non magnetic and non resonant. Input is by IEC connector with a Neutrik PowerCon an option on many variants. Each high quality power outlet has a hinged cover to IP54, protecting unused outlets from dirt, dust and little fingers. Wiring is carefully selected silver plated copper with PTFE insulation throughout, providing excellent power transmission properties, reliably supplying your system for years to come. The PowerLine Axis provides an innovative cure to the problem of DC on the mains supply. In theory the mains waveform should be pure AC: a perfect, symmetrical sine wave. In practice the waveform can arrive at the end user clipped, distorted and asymmetrical with a significant DC voltage component. The AC transformers commonly found in equipment power supplies cannot, by nature, tolerate significant DC without being compromised. The PowerLine Axis has five high quality outlets served by a network that re-centres the voltage axis of the mains waveform. This eliminates any DC voltage on the mains power supply, suppressing mechanical hum and liberating performance. isol 8 by , on Flickr isol 8 3 by , on Flickr isol 8 2 by , on Flickr

first SA30 i have seen for sale , might be worth a punt for someone https://www.hifiwigwam.com/forum/topic/145559-arcam-sa30-for-sale/

Good point uzzy, I was watching guy Martin spitfire yesterday. He was holding a pin for the wing which no longer fitted when held in his warm hand. It had expanded and only returned to size when cool. It can't do all those delicate bits any good surely to be exposed to extremes of temperature

We have really been enjoying her performance in the latest all creatures great and small as Mrs pumfrey

The denon is really good , set up some relatives with a dm41 and some old kef and it was delightful

None sadly Keith

well said

speakers look lovely , pretty sure my local hi fi dealer does marten speakers

take something a lot stronger than rawplugs to hang them , they probably need 3 blokes to lift them think they weigh 50kg each !! https://hometheaterreview.com/magico-a3-floorstanding-speaker-reviewed/#:~:text=Despite low frequency extension down,deep%2C and 9.25 inches wide.

until the nice silica bags fill up with moisture !! then they are useless

fantastic alan, great to hear from you and hope it all gets sorted out for you

interesting , i never knew that about toslink . care to recommend a decent glass one anyone ? might try this one unless anyone has better suggestion https://www.futureshop.co.uk/qed-reference-optical-quartz?gclid=Cj0KCQjwtsv7BRCmARIsANu-CQfTPA23shBbSEH8nw1rX98ZiEbHF2wgfu_pLQtfgMkCx6CCAEFC1sEaAnR1EALw_wcB

real pain you missed that mark one paul !! another one will be along soon i am sure
