In my situation there is a chimney breast to get around so I was thinking of putting power amps each side of that. I have gathered from previous posts that a difference in speaker cable runs lengths is ok, how about say interconnects with a 2.5m and 0.75m leg?

So the question is - if you have monoblocs is it better to keep the power amps closer to the speakers? What is the trade of in terms of the relative lengths of the interconnects vs speaker cable? I suppose the longer the interconnect the higher likelyhood of picking up interference but it does mean ...

Another M/C rider here been riding for 40 years and didn't get a car licence until I was 30. Plenty of scrapes and slides but nothing major. Totally agree with your comment Gromit on making all drivers ride a bike it sharpens the senses and makes you much more aware of what is happening around you. ...

More vinyl cleaning so another random mix yesterday including:

Michael Chapman - Wrecked Again
Fotheringay - Fotheringay, a real pity Sandy Denny is no more

As posted on the Music board I use the random play function on the Squeezebox from time to time - last night being a case in point. I find it is really good for digging out some lesser played tracks so potentially either reaquantment with an old favourite or reassessment of a track that may have esc...

Squeezebox on random last night so many pleasant surprises including notable appearences by Quintessence, Queens of the Stone Age and Four Tet

Akways having had a soft spot for bands/music in pubs - must be some sort of synergy :D, my last listen was Bruise at the Hob in SE London. A three piece on the night with female lead guitar/vocals (and song writer) backed by husband on drum and electronics, and bass. Really tight, great harmony and...

Ahh. So you can use a much lower output amp for the HF just as long as the input sensitivity is matched. The black art of the black box - wonderful
