Lovely set up, I'm really feeling Jon Hassell's power spot on ECM these days. Please give it a spin if he had it.

Thanks,
I sold a lot of it, I'll pick a copy of the Jon Hassell up and have a listen,
I kept, all my favourites he used to play, David Darling, Jan Garbarek, Ralph Towner etc,
I found a letter about Eberhard Weber from ECM in one of the sleeves and framed it,
He used to go to a lot of the concerts ECM put on, I got dragged along,
We went to see The Hilliard Ensemble with Garbarek at Sheffield Cathederal, before we went in he let me smoke a large joint in his car, little did he realise, he was actually passively smoking it too, we were both stoned as judges through the whole concert, was incredible,

Another forum user spotted my hifi in the background of another post and suggested I post some pics of it,
My old man was a lifelong audiophile nut, dragged me all over the country to hifi shows and shops as a kid, he was disabled so couldn't carry the boxes of stuff he bought,
We were at a hifi show in Harrogate, I must've been 11-12 at the time, was almost at the end of the day, he was busy listening to something and I wandered into the Naim room,
The guy from Naim treat me just like any other moneyed customer and gave me a full demo of their show rig, played Bomb The Bass full blast for me several times, and it left a lasting memory I guess,
After the old man passed away he left me his collection of ECM records so I set about building a little rig he'd approve of,
I'm not much of an audiophile so went for form over function, I just bought what I found the prettiest,
