Only one thing to do - listen to "Cattle And Cane", and remember.

Arcam CD72 cd player NAD C350 amp Acoustic Energy Aegis 3 (? the bookshelf entry in the line, whichever that was) speakers and my once well-loved Rega P3 w/ Rega Superbias cartridge and a malfunctioning NAD pre-amp more or less gathering dust/acting as a holding place for cds (how the mighty...
