Spoke to my tyre supplier - it’s normal with circumferential grooved treads to crack... did point out the 2 on the back which are a different batch haven’t cracked as bad. They can send them back to Goodyear .. it’s a lottery whether or not they will pay out, but you don’t get the tyres back if it’s...

Decided to put my winter tyres on today. Noticed the normal tyres have all got cracks running circumferential around the tyres at the bottom of the treads. Front ones are about 3 years old.. but have had little use over the last 20 months. Doubt there is any point of following it up with the supplie...

Phil Lynott - story on BBC 2 now

This website may be of interest.., claiming benefits of bipole for room effects. Hmmm .. not sure I full buy it,

Yes I need to play with a back chamber for the midrange one and see if the magic is lost or not. Alternative is to make some bigger ones to go down to 100 hz, as below the Schröder freq of the room - it doesn’t matter if it’s dipole or sealed.

The theory behind the AMT would suggest it’s a bipole as it flex’s the corrugations sidewards so the sound waves going forward and backward would be in phase. However I stand to be corrected

This hasn’t been out of the rack in such a long time.

That only explains how you process the free wood - are neighbours trees vanishing in the night? I only probably generate a week or two’s worth of fire wood from pruning the 20 trees or so we have.

[/quote] I think that's a valid point.. We're just having a second log burner fitted..nothing to do with concerns over the grid though, but its almost free heat (excluding the cost of the fire) [/quote] I didn’t realise you had that many failed speaker designs to burn. :D Free wood isn’t going to be...

So who’s responsibility is it to ensure that the LV supplies coming over head aren’t subject to trees hazarding them? My experience in the National gas grid (30 odd years ago) was that for the main transmission pipes 4 foot and above Transco were responsible for there up keep. The smaller pipes were...

Having an alternative power source, isn’t the way forward.. “ I’m alright Jack” (no pun intended) isnt fixing the problem of our total reliance on electric going forward, whilst being greener. How can a storm wipe out power supplies, assume its from substation to the end user. Aren’t all new supplie...

Just think of the scenario if this rare weather situation occurs in 10 years when everyone has heat pumps and electric cars.... I wonder what the issues are with the HV grid - is it lack of maintenance, ensuring trees cannot hazard cables etc, as the pylons and cables are designed to cope with reall...

I must thank who ever it was at the weekend that pointed out that one of my tweeters was the opposite way around to the other. With the AMT’s being a bipole i was getting some weird cancellation. Connecting them up correctly when I got home,I have got a top level spaciousness I didn’t know I was mis...

This reminds me of the time when a colleague went to Bovington, parked the hire car in the chevroned area, which said “ no parking tanks in operation” for a few minutes To find returning to the car to find it had been flattened by a chieftain reversing. Took ages to get a replacement hire car to get...

Steves crackers horns were lovely. Dunno what else to say about them, for a lash up without its normal bottom end support, it was lovely Whether the “crackers” was a reference to the horns or the maker, is a compliment I take either way. As Steve S said they were excelling in the male vocals, but n...
