It's a pretty standard spike suppressor all said and done. Just not really applicable to hifi specifically, more a general mains safety item.

What's in an Isoplug, about £6 I'd say.

Predictable, because he doesn't read Subjectivist and I've not seen him this weekend to tell him.

Was he really leaning towards 'broken' rather than 'just set to MM?'

Recapped a Krell KSA 200 that was 25 years old, one of the old caps has blown it's cork, 100v 22,000uf thing the size of a pint of beer. That cost about £200 for six caps. It was a right mess inside.

To be expected though 200 watts foi full time Class A, it was hotter than hell in there.

Thanks for the offer of loaner gear Doc. Here's an idea for the National. Why not get some cards printed out prior to the event. People fill in their details on the card and you send them a loaner. Do a set of cards for each item in the line up, so people can pick and choose what they want. You star...

I didn't realise he'd made that comment, bad form. Unacceptable

Jez's stage shares only a very basic topology with the Paradise ie its a transconductance input stage. The psu's are nothing alike, jez's using no coupling caps in the signal path and uses completely different devices for amplification. It's as much like the paradise in execution as one single ended...

Holds strong opinions- check Doesn't believe in foo- check Doesn't suffer fools- check Not afraid of saying unpopular things- check Banned from various fora - check Designs hifi- check Sells direct - check Can...
