Noticed a pair of SE OPT’s over on the other forum

I am having to fight to get a PSA test done, as I have mild symptoms.. and my father had prostate cancer, so according to NHS guidelines I should be getting one done frequently. I do wonder if it comes out of the GP’s budget, hence the reluctance.

I will miss our chats at Owston - Colin you will be missed. It’s a shame he never got to finish his fully active speakers. His skill in veneering was second to none.

I think they are misogynist and racist, more than stupid. Big bird of Sesame Street had a better chance. The worry now is Farage is going to become important for the next 4 years. Time to buy all IC’s etc, as Taiwan may be the first casualty of the new insular American policies.

I am helping my friend Dave move some of his HiFI on, as he’s looking at moving for health reasons.

First off is a pair of Event Opal Studio Monitors, have all the cables and software, plus a pair of “ ultimate support” stands for them.

Same format as the WAM show, from the year before. Was a good show, more DIY stuff than before, some good sounding system, it was successfully IMHO, so would imagine it will be on next year. Maybe I will demo my system next year…. The Lenco’s were out in force, one guy had 3 set up playing ...

Yes - I am meeting up with Ian. Hopefully you will be fully recovered to play (inflict) Cohen to the masses next year.

Is anyone going on Sunday, to the show, at Rotherham on Sunday?

Just north of Nottingham

Having another “HiFi” day on the 17th of August. Dave is going to bring his Opal Events around to compare with my DIY creations, and chat and eat. All welcome.

Thanks Chris. The driver has the 14khz wobble on its spec sheet in a tube, so it’s no surprise that it ends up still there.

I have been listening to those ES250 horns for a couple of weeks now, quite liking the diffused sound from an open baffle horn.
Going to try and get some Event Opals set up ...

Just finished the test horn, shipping it out for evaluation. Bit trickier than first thought as had to recontour the inner after a late change in throat angle, plastic wood filler to make the inner match, as cannot add wood. Not my finest work, as cobbled together out of the firewood box, and ...

Truly depressed about the future of sane democracy...

Which side of the pond do you refer too….or is it the EU chiefs re-electing themselves?

There seems to be a certain amount of agreement on forums, that Fosi amps are worth a listen to. Amir on Audio science review says they measure well, putting then in the top quartile of the amps he’s measured.

We had a good day, and bumped into a few familiar faces….. yes lots of stupidly prices equipment, some sounding nice and others I wouldn’t give it space in my living room. I made a mental note of the tracks played in the systems that impressed, interesting those tracks, via Quboz, sound really ...
