Re: Which are you?
I'm numbers 1 and 2
2 is a given, but 1 gets me in bother sometimes, as there's (in some opinions) no credibility in anything I say about the sound of anything 'cos everything sounds good. :D
But I have a sound in my head, that I have been after since 1972. Valves have gotten me the closest.

He also pissed into my Pretek Powertek combo. I was...

Re: Introduce Yourselves
I wouldn't worry Jez. I have discussed the technical aspects of my fully balanced push pull valve amps with the Doc on here, though I'm not a manufacturer, just an enthusaiastic DIY'er. I got pissed off when the nameless one was trying to hard-sell the virtues of neat wiring looms in amps; trying to...

Re: Strictly
I reckon Fiona and Mark in the dance-off this week.
Both of these two have hit their limits and are being left behind by the rest of them,
so I reckon it's one or the other of them out of the competition tonight.
