What counts as approved musics these days ? I haven't heard anything on the system which it hasn't suited (there's a challenge) and my tastes are pretty eclectic. My typical playlist can jump from Norah Jones to Shostakovich Cello to Prodigy to Symphony of Sorrowful Songs to Mark Knopfler to Dave Brubeck ...

One of my all time favourites hails from Penistone.

You need special permits from the dtb legislative body in order to play mantovani or des o'connor. The forms need to be approved by 3 others and completed in triplicate before permission is granted. ( a fast track application is available if there is a comedy element, but only in extreme cases)

I've built a couple sets of what I think are beautiful sounding flea-powered power amps (5842 -> 45) driving Lowther DX3s in Icon Audio cabs with subwoofer assistance. I'd love to get together with others and hear different systems, get feedback on mine.

The meet near Donny sounds interesting - how do I get myself an invite ?

Cheers
Welcome Mick, hopefully the next Donny meet will be the 30 June next year.. in the meantime we have various meet ups at people's houses
You just need to get in on them
Your more than welcome at mine
I'm an ex lowther user .. i have ex4 s and pm6 somewhere ...
And I use or have used px25 px4 cosser 2p ( the uk's 45) and various other valves over the years...
The tube manual is quite like a telephone book. The number of it perfect. It is useful to make it possible to speak with a girl. But we can't see her beautiful face from the telephone number

Is there a list I can put my name on, or just lurk on the forums ?

That's funny. I bought some records recently from a seller who includes bonus freebies in all purchases - mine was a Felicity Kendal exercise LP !

I threw the record but kept the cover.
