Just been listening to a YouTube Playlist and a Billy idol song came on that I'm sure said "arse about face"
Turns out the song was called eyes without a face......
Did not sound like that to me

Bit of Floyd. Dsotm, haven't listened to it in ages and meddle. Such an underrated album

What you do is put a load of pixie dust in a box along with some rocking horse droppings, blend together powdered adamantium and gundanium along with the tears of a unicorn. Once blended, these form a substance similar to gold stolen from a leprechaun. Into this you need to mix the urine of a Tibeta...

Tom petty full moon fever, before that a best of the cure

Wonder why Robert Smith now looks like Jo brand.......

Duran Duran - decade

Something of a guilty pleasure of mine, this, ABC lexicon of love and human league dare. All their early stuff is brilliantly constructed pop, makes a nice change from the miserable dirge music the wife likes. Something with abit of bounce and joy to it

Simple solution, get a 12" fane bass unit in series with the other one, presto, a 16 r speaker.....
Where's my coat.....

This one sounded really nice

I did one with nuvistors that sounds good too

It's been on for at least 6 hours today and not cut out at all....
Ghost in the Machine

It hasn't done it again yet I did abit of wire waggling while it was on the bench, and bent the thermistors so they are just about touching the mosfets to make sure they heat up properly, and moved the input wiring away from the mosfets too. It's the fact that switching it off then on again 'cures' ...

I'll try and provoke it into cutting out again and see what readings it gives

Have an issue with the f5. Over the last few days it has started to intermittently cut out on one channel. Interestingly if the power is turned off the channel immediately comes back up as soon as the switch is pressed, I thought 'oh it has a speaker protection board with a relay on it'...... It doe...

Why not just run a busbar all the way along the amp and drop off the components to the busbar? All the amps I've built including the nuvistor phono stage have had this type of connection and all have been quiet I tried star earthing on the phono stage and it was no more or less quiet. Simplifies thi...

Pull one out of an old laptop and get a usb3 caddy to make it an external hard drive. I did that for the kids ps4 as a usb3 HD was about 60 quid. And predictably the ps4 will only accept usb3. 15 quid for the caddy and the HD was out of a bricked laptop. Just plugged it in the mac and formatted it. ...

That indent may have been done to the nut to keep it exactly in that position at that specific torque. The crank will have been put together on a jig so it was properly aligned and when set been whacked to deform the 2 pices so that if the nut started to wind it had to crack off the deformed metal o...

Same here Mike, same opticians for the last 30 years. It is now a Parkhurst franchised one but the same staff and the same optician if you can get in to see him (there are now 2) he does things the proper way, the other bloke uses newer methods. Tried specsavers and they are OK but not as in depth a...
