    Which amplifier will you keep for life????

    My Technics SE A3. It blew transistors spectacularly, the week after Technics binned all the old parts for the model! It drove my Martin Logans amazingly. I never think of my ex-wife but that amp holds a place in my heart...irreplaceable.

    Agreed. How can the art of the next one be envisaged? Sadly the Polish Orchestra playing this work will likely be directly in the zone of the next nuclear exchange.

    Soundtrack for the End of Life as we know it

    To me there is no doubt a new War is approaching some time in the future - maybe 50 years max. And of course it will be Apocalyptic. Projections are horrendous; no power, global pollution, misery and sickness, half the inhabitants and planet glowing n the dark. And so on. I don't have the...

    How much do cables matter?

    I think I am getting the hang of these cable principles. When younger (about 60 years ago) one of our group was named Eddie and he sorely lacked correction, which his dad applied frequently. With a leather strap. Didn't much affect the space-time thingy but it sure gave him the jitters.

    I suspect this is partly what he is referring to; being told he has to conform to someone else's standards. Would be better to track his posts/reads and get an understanding of his interests etc. Or even just ask him directly what has wound him up so. Thankfully we are all not the same.

    Excel Hanging

    There are at least 2 ways of running app specific configurations: 1 is a boot OS choice or 2 use a virtual machine. In both cases the OS will need tweaking to remove the WIN 10 overburden. Start with one of the Ghost OS configurations and slim it further. You can find pointers on YouTube or at...

    What are you reading?

    I have watched all the slow horses tv shows but read the first 5 books a few years back. The tv series is pretty good but relies more on visual clues where as the books are far more descriptive - word pictures. The writing is excellent and the characters have greater depth than the shows. The...

Opening and updating etc takes seconds; processing and running stats and simulations takes a little longer...
