Re: The cloud.

The dull quotidian blah blah is not a tautology for daily practises even if repetitious don't have to be dull. My life, however, is dull when compared to the dare devil derring do sort of things you lot get up to in the white puffy bits of a deep blue yonder...

Re: Side Projects

Not so simple Paul. You're hearing from behind has a hugely different frequency response compared to in front. I can't remember the details but it is interesting.

Re: The cloud.

Ha ha... reminds me of a blues guitarist who I (once) played with... Dave (the guitar) Kelly. I was only 17 and I was doing the 1-4-5. bit while he was significantly doing some rather nice minor key pentatonic noodling.

Halcyon days.

Re: what are you doing ?

Experience taught me that when I replaced an sacd1024 ( surely not right name) it was the cap(s) around the I.c. that had really failed . how I got to hate the Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man.

Re: The cloud.

Oooo missed all this - have you ever been in a salt mine? I've been in a couple or three in different countries. I don't think it's relevant. I was quite happy with Danno's analogy. I'm a simple soul, I do not inhabit the tortuous complicated world that Jack does- ok he understands all this stuff bu...

Re: What Are You Listening To Right This Minute?

I've been lissnin' all day to Radio 3. Saturdays can be worthwhile. Teatime now and it's Jazzzzz. Nice bit of Chic Corea with Flora Purim. This morning they were highlighting a couple of new recordings of Bartok's The Miraculous Manchurian. I know I know - orchestral but if you want to get rid of th...

Re: 833A (GU-48) Amp

When I played with 833s or Soviet equivalents I was always worried that when voltage went down current went up and 350ma and climbing just felt like too much to go on with. Your 'crap...
