    Shout Out for Francois from Audio Exchange

    And YES! Also a big shout out for Francois. We "met" via cellphone around 1996/7 (OK I am getting old, exact day date eludes me). Francois he claimed to be and started chatting to me about the Black Widow amp that he'd heard of. Said that he'd like to test one but that I need to know it is the...

    Perseverance safe & sound on Mars

    Me too, while studying I worked at both DSIF and STADAN at Hartebeesthoek tracking stations 1970 / 71.  Although too late for the actual landing and stepping on the moon  which was 1968 (only the radio in SA those days) there was this little piece of moon rock in a glass display box in the foyer...

    Remember the night before Christmas

    Does that mean you are now a converted MC convict..ion? Held captive by a device that banned all SUT's from your vinyl rig, but cannot be heard through THREE  non operational systems?  :be:

    RIP

    And to add, the one song that'll never die that to me stands out as one of their best "when will I see you again". One night couple of years ago,  Benjy Mudie - 702 mentioned this song to be one of his all time favorites as well. I'm in good company on this one...  :groovy: Nevertheless, sad to...

    Valve Audio Whisper - valves

    Mick, Apology for not replying yet, look at the post time here 03:05. I am hectically busy at this time, but I shall in greater detail write to you via usual means. Word of caution, do NOT use the 6n6p in the Whisper. Yes, you'll get sound, bad sound at that. The operating points have been set...

    Hello Mick, I'll reply by email wee hours tomorrow morning. Under a LOT of pressure these days. Some points made in your thread are valid, and others not so much. I'll elaborate later. Keep 'The Jack" flying!

    Valve Audio Whisper - valves

    Hi Mick, You lost my details Bud? 6N6P shall not fit, too tall. 6n1P works very well, they run a whole lot hotter than the variants you use currently at double the filament current. I use them. Mail me direct and lets discuss options? Schalk

    Remember the night before Christmas

    Oh My! For a minute there which felt like an eternity, I thought it could only be one of the fruits of my labor.... Apparently not, as I have not yet seen a box labelled as "human organs for transplant" just to get it here sooner....  :Ooooooh:

    RIP

    The Grey Lion of Hi-Fi Installations, old Mr Albert Meyburgh (deceased), was instrumental in quite a few instances of ex techs carrying on the craft after leaving his fold. His knowledge and enthusiasm for audio and the associated equipment served as a compass in the lives of a few.

    Where in the world have Valve Audio products got to?

    Wow David, this brings back memories. The Golden Years of VA. Exporting nogal! Thanks for the thought :mates: Plenty places these fell around the globe. Had I not been so stupid I might even have made good money along the way. UK has a few Whispers, Exclame's and Predators (Not just RJ's) even...

    It's only a Hi-Fi

    Sometimes we even bask in the Glory of 242V, more than just briefly... You must THEN hear those mighty Genesis Monos going ballistic, in a Good way  :2thumbs: But seriously, I need to forget about the City of milk and honey, and learn to test all outgoing equipment at say 218V for adequate...

    Hands up if you own a Valve Audio product

    And might I add with humility, You have been one of the most accommodating customers I have ever had. Being on the receiving end of my slow service has been the plight of many, but something like 5 months was stretching it a bit. (No comments Agaton  :angel:) However, you have become one of the...
