Re: Another stupid question - passive pre related system bui

Re: Hifi sabbatical

I'm sort of on sabbatical even now. By volume, I listen to far more music in the car, at the gym, or on the minor systems in the house (particularly kitchen). It's not so much wires and tat that bother me, I (try to) follow Jammy's example on wires, once it is set up. It's all the fiddling interfere...

Re: The Model Helicopter thread

Nice collection. I think I may be just about ready to move onto flybarless. And as I said to you earlier will probably looking at a Blade mcpx next to add to my Blade 450x and Trex 600. The 600's are much easier to fly, much less bothered by wind, and MUCH more expensive to repair when it all goes w...

The Model Helicopter thread

Oh OK Cagey. If we must These are the picks I posted when Stan got all excited about 12W through a soldered joint.

Re: The Accountancy Thread

It's a brave new world today. When I was younger, at parties , to impress the girls I would claim to be a pilot. Today, all the pilots, who are really glorified bus drivers in the sky, pretend to be accountants. It's the glamour profession. :grin:
