Probably more fun to work on that the one from Huntingdon!

Well, it is a Quad (jet)

I always liked the look of a pair of Linn Kans....

Me, too. Minimalist and purposeful on their dedicated stands.

I would be happy with all my equipment being as discreet as possible, to the point of being almost invisible. Definitely no lights or heaven forbid illuminated panels, no switches or knobs, in fact nothing but a remote control ala a modern flat screen tele.

I'll go along with that.

Yeah, but what about big glowing VU meters!

What about them? As far as I am concerned VU meters belong on a tape recorder, of which I have several, not on an amplifier. The live sound system I use has an amp with huge meters, strangely enough they tend to show exactly the same as the meters on the mixer! If I know what I am putting in I don't need meters to know what I am getting out.

Thanks but no thanks, far too vulgar for my tastes
