I've no idea where they are now, I saw a photo of the Ti-Code years ago but that's it I'm afraid,
I'm neither a collector or hoarder, I enjoy restoring and building stuff but still have the firm belief that they should be out there being seen by other folk and maybe even used, lining them up gathering dust in my attic always seemed a shame,
Daft prices is what drove me away from the Old/mid school scene, it started to seem like every forum thread was about "how much X is worth" and I couldn't see the fun in that,
Met a guy once that told me "I've being buying up all the old school BMX parts for the last few years, my plan is to hold the entire scene to ransom..."
I just thought he was a complete cunt, and a sad cunt at that.I like the idea of the "Pseudo-survivor" they were always my favourites to see, keep it up!
It even occurred to me that building this Colnago was a bit hypocritical as I've spent a fair bit on it, but that said, I'd never have started the project had my son not taken his own life.
And even then, I'm only keeping it for a little while, when I'm gone it'll move on for someone else to enjoy. -

I'm as guilty of it as anyone else,
My current system took a couple of years to piece together, I had the power amp stashed under my bed for a year until I could afford the pre-amp to go with it,
I'd read for years about it's legendary status and I'd wanted one from seeing them at hifi shows as a kid, but above all else I wanted one because of how it looks, to my eyes it is one of the most beautiful aesthetic objects I've ever seen,
When I finally got it up and running I was a bit underwhelmed, so asked around the brand forum for advice, the majority was to swap out the expensive speaker cable and use the companies own cheaper cable,Sure enough it was "as if a veil had been lifted in front of the music" everything came into focus and it really does sound magnificent,
But then again, I spent £250 on a glass optical cable for my streamer and can't tell the difference between the £20 I had before it.
Enjoy what you have, don't get too caught up listening to the system and trying to analyse it.

"a scientifically justified program of improvement"
Fuck me, I bet you're fun at parties......
If it makes him happy then what's the problem?
Looks a decent enough system he's built up,
Any pics of your rig in its acoustically treated room?
