Re: just under 30 seconds

The footage of MC5 is tremendous.

Wayne Kramer killed it with his MC50 tribute recently. Fantastic band with him Marcus Durrant (Zen Guerilla) Brandan Canty (Fugazi) Billy Gould (Faith No More) and Kim Thyail (Soundgarden) Great show

Re: How manysteps on your stepped attenuator do you regularly use ?

P50SA - NVA A80s previously Nuforce STA120 with Larsen Model 4's digital sources usually 12 and 1o'clock. Vinyl with a Lounge LCR 3 stage 3 to 4 o'clock. For me the variable tends to be the recording.

Re: Semi Omni v Point and Squirt

Since getting used to my Larsen's, I don't think I'd go back to point and squirt. As an aside, I believe MCRU may now carry the range, as they are on the website; might be an alternative to the NS1000 he proposes to use at the phono bake off.
