This will be going on HiFi Wigwam soon, just worth throwing up again. Offers in the region of £150 would certainly secure it .

Thanks for that link Nicoch ; the links at the bottom of that page were very useful - just working my way through them now . Steve - I agree that bracing & stiffness are important. I still remember how badly the tone and impulse response of an FE167E were affected when it was mounted into a larg...

Now you're making my cry because I feel so shabby - you beast :(

Ps. - Andrew - you will have an order for another couple of pairs to go to the US , if you can manage the 2x300B or 2x45 requirement .

I really don't care if nobody listens to me..... http://www.audio-talk.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5096&start=19 but seriously, If I didn't already have a spare coleman 2A3 supply I would hang out for Andrew's higher current version No hum rools! This is certainly true, Ed, but maybe the reaso...

I'm still on the steep end of the learning-curve where OB theory in concerned unforunately . JamesD is best placed to offer some very useful advice here, but I suspect he's snowed-under with end of year work crises at the moment : he's been very quiet ...

Brian Clark

I think it's worth mentioning on here , as one or two guys on the forum may know Brian or have corresponded with him on e-mail, forums elsewhere . I was just talking on the phone to Ed Baker in Essex, and he told me that sadly Brian passed away in 2011 . I had suspected as much, as he's gone very qu...
