STIXX   So, you consider yourself a master do you?   In what way does my espessivo resemble your C3g?

Update   Peiter T of Tribute has just informed me that he is still willing to supply autoformers to DIYers. Good news.

Hi – many of the builds in this DIY thread are truly awesome. So it is with some trepidation that I post my new build here.   Dsavitsk’s head amps and DIY pages offer several excellent examples of the art of the amplifier; indeed his Electric Avenue featured here a short while ago. So now I...

Sorry David. Catching up I missed the relevance.

David    While catching up I found this quote of yours at the beginning of April:   'Overall, if I could only have one headphone, I would choose the LCD-2 Revision 2.'     Yet no one seems to have picked up on this amazing admission. It is only amazing because you own many more...

While I mentioned Previn and the LSO one of my favourite recordings is 'Four Sea Interludes' from Peter Grimes. The music is very atmospheric - indeed magical - and the recording SQ of the highest order.   No one has mentioned Shostakovich here. One of my favourite composers. His music is...

A bad year for outstanding musicians. Brubeck then Shankar and in October Bert Jansch joined the celestial choir.   Herbert "Bert" Jansch (3 November 1943 – 5 October 2011[1]) was a Scottish folk musician and founding member of the band Pentangle. He was born in Glasgow and came to...

David   We both have clouded judgement regarding the K1's. Yours is clouded by bad experience - mine is clouded by good. I blame the Austrians: they sent all the good examples to the UK and all the bad examples to the US. Ergo the Austrians love the British and hate you Yanks
