    What type of hi-fi enthusiast are you?

    Not really 'into' hifi as such. I have bought very little of the stuff over the years since 1976 when I could afford to start buying albums.

    Problem with a tenant who is too good?

    Your flat is your tenants home. Remember this above all else. Your are very lucky to have such a lovely tenant, who takes good care of the place and does it up. I honestly can't see what the problem is here.
