    I think the Mgongo killed the Sony brand for any self respecting audio enthusiast! 🤣

    Frequently Misspelled audiophile terms

    Jamo is another favourite, being a Danish name. I've heard most people pronounce it Jam-o, as in bread and jam, when it should be Ja-mo, as in the Afrikaans Ja.

    A tale of Noise

    :) Your BoomTechs sound much better than they aught to. I haven't yet assembled the Boomtech boards you gave me, in fact, I still haven't tested the LM3886 boards you gave me that I assembled over a year ago! I'm definitely gonna assemble a couple of BoomTechs for my MAME arcade cabinets. (y)

    Dangerous times.

    The only operational Gripen flew over our house during the Brics summit. It was very special, seeing our entire airforce fly over.

    Buffalo Logistics: new delivery kid on the block- any good?

    Buffalo are the default shipping company for Banggood. Bought many items over the years and haven't yet had a problem with Buffalo. They also ship speaker drivers which the Post Office refused to do. Just wish more sellers from AliExpress would use them.

    DSP for the masses

    Looks like the perfect device for subwoofer EQ. MiniDSP has been the de-facto standard, but really pricey. Hopefully the developers of REW will add this to the supported device list.

    Mission Mv-8E speaker upgrade

    Hi Roux, nope, not difficult, the screws for the cabinet are behind the rubber grommets that hold the grill on and there's also a screw behind the "Mission" badge at the bottom of the speaker. Be careful with the badge, it's glued in place and might be difficult to remove without damaging it...

    A classical musician looks at rock - "Virgin rock"

    Naah, looking at the way she dresses, her hairstyle, and instruments in the background, I'm sure she frequented The Doors in Marshall street until 5AM every morning..

    Any Reason Not To Install A Gas Geyser

    Running out of gas and having to swap cylinders at 3AM on a freezing winter's morning. :) In all seriousness, we've just installed one (a Dewhot 16L/pm) about 6 months ago for our domestic assistant and she loves it. Takes a little longer to get up to temperature, but once it's there, it works...

    Distance between Main DB and Inverter

    A mate of mine used one of the twisted pairs of a CAT5 network cable to run a ~30m extension for the CT. So far, working 100% fine.

    NAD 314 silenced

    :) (y) Just work in IT and you'll find that type of problem comes up fairly often, I feel your pain and embarrassment! Glad you managed to sort it out and it wasn't a more serious problem.
