I thought I’d keep it polite, the language my OH uses is very colourful. It has definitely improved a bit and they did have to undo some of the “improvements “, after the abuse and minus ratings their kit was getting which was badly affecting sales. We won’t be buying anymore of their kit anytime soon.
I just bought a new Gibson guitar. Well happy with that!

Peut-être qu’une Paul?

Un seul ne suffit pas.

To paraphrase James Thurber on martinis, one Gibson’s all right, two are too many, and three are not enough.

I’m a Fender man myself, but each to their own.

I quite like the white single cut with P90s that arrived a week ago - put lemon oil on the fingerboard yesterday, and today it smells amazing. Absolutely love? No, but it’s nice enough to play, and I’m quite tempted to keep it in standard tuning, rather than set it up for slide.
The hifi , by the way, is installed and I love it, nice and loud too! The brother is trying to talk me into a second amp, ( he’s got the downsizing bug at last), I have no idea why I would need another one.

Having separate amplifiers makes you a real audiophile, the reason is each channel of the stereo setup is completely separate so no interconnected sound is transferred and distortion should be lower. In short it should give higher quality and wider soundstage so the room seems larger from a sound point of view.
I don’t know either!!
(says a man with two amps…) 
My excuse is I initially bought a vintage Sansui amp on eBay, then got some Q Acoustics speakers and found it wasn’t really gutsy enough to drive them, so ended up buying a modern Musical Fidelity M2si amp. But I will find a use for the Sansui one day, in a second system for another room.
Isn’t that separate power amps though - you can’t really do that with two integrated amps AFAIK.
I have always liked the sound of the Sansui amps, mine is on permanent “loan” to BIL. The AU 717 was on my shopping list for ages until I bought the two NAD PE2200’s.

Depends if they are bridge-able or have line in line out connection, all to complicated and far too many leads 
of course no audiophile could ever have an integrated amplifier 
God knows where I’d put another one, I unexpectedly, ‘inherited’ , the hifi stand he no longer wanted and there’s no spare shelf, well that’s my excuse!

Debby, if you are happy with the sound just enjoy!

I am, the stuff he gave me was far more high end than I’d any intention of buying. I know a good sound when I hear it and this setup delivers more than I’d expected. I bought him a case of his favourite wine as a thank you, so we’re both happy,

Mine is the AU217, late 70s. £134 on eBay 18 months ago - I’ve seen them advertised for nearer £300 now!
I got it with the idea of doing a “hifi on a budget”, well yes that went as expected!
Of course not, I am a complete imposter with my cheap and nasty MF amp
