Re: NVA P20 and A20

That sounds like a system I'd like to begin my NVA journey with. How big are the Cubettes?

Re: Another Allison 6 refurb thread!

Hi Jim I'd certainly like to hear your speakers sometime. Got loads on for the next few weeks so when it looks like I've got some free time ( and an empty house! * ) I'll be in touch and we can work something out.

Re: Obits

I now read this morning that he shot himself, which makes it even more tragic. I was relatively unmoved by David Bowie's passing, he was only on the periphery of my teenage years and I wasn't that into him at the time. However, Keith Emerson was an integral part of my musical upbringing in the early...

Re: Obits

Keyboard maestro Keith Emerson has passed away, aged 71.

ELP at Manchester Free Trade Hall circa 1972 was one of my earliest concerts.

I shall be playing their eponymous first album tonight.

Re: Your last listen

I've got that K-Scope sampler download copied onto a CDR and in my works van. I've also recently downloaded this one https://noisetrade.com/bigears/the-sounds-of-big-ears-2016-artist Quite an eclectic mix, a bit hit and miss, but I really like the version of King Crimson's Epitaph by a female celloi...

Re: Internet Radio

Looks like Radio Paradise may have bit the dust. Not been on air since yesterday morning. A quick glance on their Facebook page suggests that new royality charges may have done for them, a free station who exist solely on listener donations. I hope it's just a temporary thing.

I'm pretty sure it was Steel Pu...
