Valves

There's a lot of loud stuff around me (DDW challange today is loud if you haven't guessed yet) - screaming kids, howling dogs, competing cockerels, kids practising their instrument - but the loudest has got to be my other half's Hi-Fi - he only listens to it in one volume - LOUD! Usually when I'm out of the house to be fair - I can't seem to hear music when it's too loud. Anyway, most components were a bit boring, but this phono-stage (?) with its valves is kind of pretty. That's probably because I gave it to him for his last Christmas! :)
