Pretty much as normal for me other than being furloughed for a few weeks, being classed as an essential worker it’s been business as usual otherwise. Not sure if I’ve had the dread disease or not- was working at a site in London back in March installing a new transformer from Italy, they were flying in Italian engineers on a weekly basis and we caught what seemed to be a cold from one of them. Minor symptoms so I don’t know if it was COVID or not.

Think the simple answers money. Means you can buy quality drugs and not street trash. And good medical care. Yes, I think Keef said that himself, he wouldn't be here now but for the fact he could afford the pure stuff.

Yes, that’s is a downside. In a related matter, have bought a Masterpiece which I will pick up at the weekend.

I can regularly get 37mpg from my 2.7 litre flat 6. That is pretty impressive. A constant 90 on the motorway might give 35 mpg if I was ever to drive that fast;) Yes pretty good. My 535d averages around 36-38 according to the computer, though cruising at 60 (on the flat) it can break 52mpg. Pretty impressive to my mind.

I am currently using a Son Of Beast though, which is very good.

They are still in the same state, I haven’t touched them. They are currently at my ex’s place, won’t be able to get them until all this is over.

The difference is not subtle I think you would like I think he now has drivers that match the bass in terms of effortless scale and detail Sounds a bit familiar but with a wood frame in this case. Love to hear those sometime Clive.

Cheers John, it was a bit of a Damascus moment for me at Vic’s, as far as bass and how it’s possible to reproduce it in the home cleanly is concerned.
As the Yanks have it- “ There’s no replacement for displacement” :-)

I do similar with my Bastanis, plan is to follow the scaffolded design with the twin 18” per side but use the mid and top drivers from the Bastanis.

Good stuff John. Have been to Vic’s to listen to his version with the PRV drivers which was very impressive, the bass is epic!
If the newer drivers better the PRV’s they must be very good indeed.

Bought some 20 gauge Duelund cable to make up some interconnects, and a new case for my phone. :-)

Yes, can’t go wrong with a nice Mullard. The best I’ve heard are Tungsram Foil Getters, late 50’s - early 60’s with welded plates. Tried a lot of the usual suspects over the years, these are the best.

Deming was the man! Stan - what I have found is that despite using a superclock (actually a femtoclock) in my DAC, reclocking at the signal end still makes a difference. I suspect that creating an external box that can accept co-ax, optical and USB and superclocking it to a selection of outputs is where the SQ shoots up and could win you customers you have not previously dealt with. If you have the technology already, all the better, but make it an external box rather than just built into your own DAC. You could also sell into high end DACs that already feature a femtoclock, happy in the knowledge that the SQ still goes up if you reduce jitter further up the line. I'd also add Ethernet connectivity, lot of people using that now.

I'm only 4 in. I think it's great lol, just shows there's no accounting for taste.

Started watching Preacher on Amazon - it was recommended to me and it's rather good.
