...As for a name, Marciano follows on nicely from Rocky and you could include the strap line '...the only heavyweight to have finish a career undefeated'. Marciano...that scans nicely. :D There’s no denying, this amp is a great sounding piece of kit. The modern production Genalex KT77 bias up exact...

In addition to the field hospitals, they need to build holding areas guarded by soldiers for these knobheads PDQ.

Those bastards need naming and shaming. The c**ts that licked their hands in a supermarket then wiped them over fruit, vegetables and door handles should get twenty years minimum for terrorism, because that’s what it is; biological bloody terrorism! :angryfire: :angryfire: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news...

Nice addition Steve. When you describe your Rocky as the best amp you've ever built does that relegate the 13E1 OTL? Not exactly Ray. The OTL, like others of its ilk has a unique way with music.

Aye, taking the dog for a walk is no longer enjoyable as you need to be on high alert all the time for other people. Zig zagging back and forth across the road to avoid oncoming people on the footpath is now an unfortunate part of being outside in an urban area. Those of you in the living in the cou...

Been ironing out a few small teething problems over the past couple of days and have also been swearing like a trooper; more of which later. Anyway, here is how the Super Rocky looks now: https://i.imgur.com/g6bqvBE.jpg Apart from changing the volume knobs to chicken heads and the selector switch to...

Goldring E2 would be my choice of cheap cartridge. It’s the middle of the E series and is an excellent cartridge. I use one on my own TT.

Seems the normal range is from 97 F - 99 F.
