Yes, the silly fake Impala head was left there by the South Africans who sold us this house, and we haven't taken it down yet! We are in Nova Scotia, very close to the border with New Brunswick.

Jeff,
The strange thing is that I stopped a photographed this house two or three years before we bought it.

Fills it perfectly, thank you! And as for favourites: the London Decca Reference on the Series V for sure, though for stereo the Soundsmith Sussurro MkII ES on the Series IV comes second (I keep the London Decca Jubilee in reserve for when the Reference goes for a re-tip).
