Re: Obits
I remember her best for 'Angie Baby' which I think was her highest charting record in the UK. RIP.

Re: What's in an enzyme.
Enzyme cleaners are normally not alcohol based and therefore suitable for 78s. The best known is L'art du Son which is the only one I have experience off. Effective in cleaning records and I believe it's supposed to work on molds. However I would recommend a rinse with purified water as it appears t...

Re: New names and numbers for NVA Power Amplifiers - discussion thread
...and this discussion has convinced me that 'not towards tradition' is the way to go... I wouldn't argue with that but I suggest look at Schiit (the brand) for a pointer to left field naming and marketing. You didn't get a review from me for the A20/A38/Model Worker whatever because it wasn't in r...

Re: New names and numbers for NVA Power Amplifiers - discussion thread
I've been living with the S80 Model Worker amp (and a prototype set of 'Model Worker Monoblocks' that Tomasz built me) for the past few weeks. They are wonderful amps. The lift from 50va to 80va gives them added grunt and texture - I've seen phrases like 'more bass' and 'more body to vocals' being ...

Re: New names and numbers for NVA Power Amplifiers - discussion thread
Model worker is a totally shit name. It hardly describes the properties or placement for the amp. Don't sink your brand Paul with bad marketing. Objections are not because we are a bunch of old farts. I'm sure you could think up a series of product names that have some connection with product positi...

Re: Different t/t drive types - which is 'best'?
No matter what type of TT drive system you have the sound is ultimately determined by the recording source and the quality of vinyl record mastering/cutting. The drive system and price of the deck can be relatively unimportant in proportion. Belt drives can be very competitive to direct drive with a...

Re: Opinions on how the Government have handled the coronavirus outbreak
I do not accept that the medical advice provided in this country was in any way inferior to that in the other European countries who have not made a complete balls up of the situation. Part of the problem here is Johnson not being around when the alarm bells were lringing. The briefings he received...

Re: Opinions on how the Government have handled the coronavirus outbreak
What I do agree if true that 18.1 million should not be entering Britain at any time and everyone should be checked. .. Of the 18 million that entered Britain, surely a large proportion of them would have been Brits returning from abroad? It'd be quite funny if they were prevented from returning. K...

Re: Opinions on how the Government have handled the coronavirus outbreak
Fewer than 300 out of the 18.1 million people who entered the UK in the 3 months prior to the lockdown were quarantined. We were told that the science showed it would make little difference. Now that the infection rate has been brought under control, we are told it is imperative to quarantine EVERY...
