Pretty sure it's one of these Mike. I use this sort of mat quite a lot for various DIY activities, th polymer is really grippy but also nice and soft.

Re: RTZ SDM (DSD) DAC

I used an Intel NUC...

Re: RTZ SDM (DSD) DAC

In other posts I mentioned that last Friday i got the train up to Yorkshire for the day and had the pleasure of listening to Steve C's new 6V6 amp in the company of Steve, Mrs. C and Simon.

Re: what are you doing ?

The ride was to celebrate one of the friend's 40th birthday and for him the ride was '40 fo...

I did Phil, a part of the network I've not traveled on before, every train was bang on time and none were too crowded. Enjoyed the trip, listened to some podcasts and had a read.
