    LM Radio

    Oh NO! My all time favorite on LM, this is sad news... She's been around forever. Almost like when Reg de Beer died, we used to chat on the phone late at night when he was on.

    Those things that could have been realy good but not realy made it all the way.

    And our very own Lance Dixon has the exact idea on his revolve turntable, and it is absolutely flawless. Plays with a van den Hul MC without any danger of damage, VERY EXPENSIVE damage  :2thumbs: THE MAIN BEARING ASSEMBLY consists of a 20 mm diameter, precision ground, polished stainless steel...

    Closing Bottle Stores Again!

    All I have to say about this: There are still millions of cigarette butts littering this beautiful country of ours, the world as well. Time could not make the pre Covid cast outs go away. And as expected, Covid did not curb illegal sales.  NOW there will / SHALL be zillions more. Funny how...

    Remember the night before Christmas

    Agaton / Johan, whoever you might be when Skollie is close and Ingvar peeking in.... Pray to God Almighty that that very special parcel does NOT end up in a TCG truck, just waiting to be ambushed at gun point. Just like the Colibri was... Let us all do the Crazy Moondance to ward off them bloody...

    VA Exclame 100 won?t switch on

    Lots of confusion here :thinking: Do not mess around, just bring it to me, or courier it to me. Mod Edit: Address removed, rather PM.

    What is your preferred/current STEREO Amplifier?

    My li'l old PLANK for me thank you. Consistently the one I go back to every time I have had enough of testing completed bigger and better siblings going out to customers. This just does it for me, ultra simplicity, huge rewards  :2thumbs:

    Amplifier Design Criteria

    Thanks Francois, placement and layout probably more difficult to get just right than the nth degree in design. I rather vote for the KISS route in circuit design than a nightmare of number crunching and relaying your precious music signal all the way up to Cairo and back down through darkest...

    I am sure it is just a typo, this time you left Sonor out altogether. You really, really need to listen to them one day...

    Updated Valve Audio Genesis

    So what have we here this time? Predator series 2, number 16 of 2006 that was sold in the USA by Music Direct. Back in SA because an avid supporter here spotted it on EBAY late one night, bid on it and bought it in the US. Had it stored with friends over there until he could visit, and brought...

    Lovely descriptive presentation Johan, as always. You should be writing for top end mags and boost their sales. WOW, that is some tonearm there, not forgetting the pointy bit. If I start saving now I might just be able to buy one of each to also experience what you describe, at the ripe old age...
