Unfortunately (unlike many instruments) cars don't age gracefully! And - aside from the sublime styling of the E-type or Mark II - I'd MUCH rather drive my '98 XJR than anything they knocked out in the 60's, 70's, 80's or indeed most of the 90's. As driving machines they just don't compare :-) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
