    Scott's Shipping Services

    Scott has always offered good reliable service. It is possible something has happened of which we are not aware and service might be problematic at this point in time. I'm pretty sure he will respond as soon s he can. -F_D

    Your Biggest Jaw Dropping experience in Audio

    I used to frequent Western Bazaars but favoured Kara Bazaars (just one shop away, same locale) because of the friendlier service. WB had a habit of pushing something your way claiming it was the best thing out since Peanut Brittle, while Kara used to listen and then actually order the things I...

    RIP

    Françoise Hardy, whose elegance and beautifully lilting voice made her one of France’s most successful pop stars, has died aged 80. During the 60s, I had a major crush on her. RIP dear Francoise. -F_D

    My easter weekend trip.

    I love that wardrobe, one doesn't see them these days. My parents had something similar but the mirror was inside the doors. I half-expected to see a ghostly image in your pic, but I don't. She really must have suffered terribly those last three long days before passing away. -F_D

    Agreed, sadly the above member is prone to troll and needs to be reigned in when doing so. He loves taking a dig at the old Mod team at any opportunity that presents itself. Anyway, enough said. -F_D

    Only bad decision we made was not to ban you permanently when you were simply being your old asinine self. -F_D

    These curve tracers make for interesting reading, but I'm also keen to read @ianbatty311's articles on the AVO VCMs. Any links to those? -F_D

    Old Suitcase Turntable Amp Rescue

    Well, I did see them originally but they have now gone 'poof'. I would also like to see them again, I need a refresher course! Johan? -F_D

    The 10 most common audio formats, which one to use?

    That's a pity, Roy Orbison had some excellent music. One of my favourites is the "Black & White Night" DVD featuring Roy and several guest artists, excellent performances and excellent quality. -F_D

    Mark Knopfler - Guitar Stories

    Mark was interviewed earlier this week on Greatest Hits Radio. Interesting character, he spelt out they had a tough time early in their recording career as they would not be receiving any royalties for a couple of years. Then the record company gave in and allowed them to start receiving payment...

    Replacing RCA connectors

    I would suggest first spraying the RCA plug & socket with an Electrical Contact Cleaner, you might have a spot of corrosion from the Coastal regions. Builder's market or any Electronics retailer (Mantech, Communica) will also have. -F_D
