You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to find a left-handed right-angled IEC 60320 C13 (kettle lead) plug... (it's not 1st April) 99.99% of the ones out there are "right handed" - look at some and you'll see what I mean... In all the years I've been doing this stuff, I never realised th...

We've developed a bit of a weakness for latin music playlists - over many years we've seen a lot live in the UK (e.g. Buena Vista Social Club) and in South America (SWMBO spent 4 years in South America - we got engaged, honeymooned and have travelled there extensively). Just brings a smile to your f...

I may have a couple of commercial s/h valve amps for sale... (are we allowed to bring stuff for sale?) As long as it's affordable. :wink: It might be for sale, but you don't have to buy any of it... :) The posh stuff mostly went at Audio Jumble anyway. Mad. Mad. I'll bring some nice big caps too. L...
