    Until the big record companies gets a hold of her and force her to change her image to fit theirs so they can sell more music.  I hope she resists that.

    No electricity in Highveld Centurion

    No.  The Telkom line is separated from the power lines.  Telkom's exchanges have big rectifier rooms with batteries from which the exchange power is tapped.

    No electricity in Highveld Centurion

    One electricity-free Sunday per month might actually be a good idea.  Keeps the kids from the games and TV, forcing them to do other things, like talking to their parents and siblings.

    Hi-Fi In The Future

    Streaming with subscription will become the norm.  Even downloads will disappear as being wasteful.  Why store the same music file all over the world if it could be stored in the cloud?  You buy the music, it just saves the file's URL or storage attributes in your profile.  No need then to worry...

    Otters!

    Just catch a few Carp in the Vaal, put them in a your fish hokkie in the water, then wait for mr otter to come and help himself.  Doubt you will see him taking your catch.  Hulle is so slim en skelm soos 'n Jakkals.

    Heard through "The Grapevine"...

    So it seems we are now being force-fed all the Chinese and Korean electronic waste that the Europeans and Americans don't want.  Already our hand tools are a disaster.

    EL 84 Single ended 2 channel amplifier build.

    Yes, for now it is only a hobby after all.  :thumbs: Job always comes first.  Also been working late at nights developing a new transaction for our system.  So on my side the soldering iron stands in a lonely corner of the table.

    EL 84 Single ended 2 channel amplifier build.

    Damn, I know how it is.  My valve amp has been waiting for me for the past 3 months to complete the wiring.  It has been hectic with the kids stuff and work.  Been away on a school mountain bike tour to Knysna, organising stuff, driving kids around.  The garden is also crying for attention.

    EL 84 Single ended 2 channel amplifier build.

    Oi you guys! He must first finish the PP EL84.  I promised my old man the PP EL84 before he leaves this mortal coil.

    Not a nice discovery

    The last time I sent my speaker to a dealer for repair, it came back worse off, with a nice screwdriver mark on the cone.  So, I don't trust them anymore.  A person who specialises in repairs like these will be able to do it well.  Just get the surrounds.  My old man used to do it when he was a...

    Heard through "The Grapevine"...

    Sad.  When I looked around for a TV, there was not one Samsung that could match the Sony I eventually bought. Bravia X-series 450A.  It's image processing was miles ahead to that of Samsung and LG.  It's image and colour is still better that the current Samsungs.  When it dies I will cry myself...

    Valve etiquette and care

    Yes, actually they have them on the shelves.  Says "Rubbing Alcohol" on the label.  And you don't have to rub.  Make the cloth wet and clean it with a delicate hand.  There is no need to actually rub the glass clean.  And yes, some valves' printing might come off, but I doubt it will if you use...

    The greatest curse on earth

    Whenever there is some construction or renovation work been done in an area you can be guaranteed to see some incidence of theft around.  It's like clockwork.  Some friend of my wife was accosted in her home in a security complex the same week as they were painting roofs there. I can name a...

    Barking Mad!!!

    My brother's poodle (excuse for a dog anyway  :winkwink:) used to be a nightly yapper.  Would yap for any shadow or whatever for hours.  Drove me mad.  I stayed with him before he got married.  Was his wife-to-be's dog, so I was not allowed to educate the dog.

    Not One Artist's Album Has Gone Platinum In 2014

    Well, looking at my 14 year old son;  he still has absolutely no interest in music at all.  This was not the case when I was his age.  The radio was on 5 from the time we got home from school till my dad walked into the home from work.  At his age I listened to The Police (Message In A  Bottle)...
