OK tried it. There where a few issues initially connecting which I think where down to the USB cable not fully seating but after that it worked OK. Sometimes it lost connection to the library and then the drive and at one point when trying to play a track it started to re-buffer. Re-plugging the cab...

No SLA's, just the inverter. Solar only makes sense because of the generous feed it tariff rates the government are throwing at the scheme. Its too early to know for sure on the return but it should be under ten years...a friend had a system installed back in April and so far he is on target for an ...

Paul, I dont think they ever made it into production. IMHO the inter-stages in this amplifier give it it's 'sound' or character. For the original kit that had to be built to a price they are very good but obviously better ones are available...for instance they are limited to 18KHz...
