I agree, it's not bad, but not good either. And the same applies to 'Blow By Blow'; a couple of tracks are ruined IMO by the use of a 'voice box' (or is it a 'vocoder?), a sound processing device I...

We have had a fine day here today. Sunny, not too cold for me to cut the grass. :)

How do you know they haven't? They've already ruined everything, so why should the weather be any different?

Jeff Beck With Terry Bozzio And Tony Hymas – 'Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop'
...

Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Band Group - 'Live'
...

Alonso - 'Alonso'

There is no information about this CD on Discogs, as it was privately recorded and 'pressed'. All I can do is quote verbatim from the...

I've just played side 1, and have to say I haven't changed my opinion. Will play Side 2 tomorrow, after I have cut the grass. :lol:

I have it on LP (Epic S EPC 86025). Think I picked it up cheap somewhere. Haven't played it much - it's a bit too smooth for my tastes, I prefer Beck when he is more bluesy rock 'n roll.

Oh well, it must be "the exception that proves the rule".

Well spotted Steve.

Is the power to these houses supplied by overhead cables?

Again, it all makes sense, and that the idea was continued for new-builds.

Yes - it does mean speaker cable costs are minimised, but also it gives you the opportunity to try other 'exotic' designs for minimal costs.

Many homes had to be rebuilt after the war and the country was almost bankrupt, so new builds had to be designed to save costs. When it came to semi-detached houses, they were designed to have the...

Well that did make me laugh! One hopes he was able to contain himself, apologise and wait.

Well done!
I use monobock amplifiers located directly behind each speaker, fed by balanced line cables back to the preamp. The advantage of such an arrangement is that the speaker leads need only...

I had a very good friend who lived in Gyffin just outside of Conwy, so visited the place dozens of times.

Regarding the "smallest house in the UK", I have often wondered why visiting tourists...

I'm not sure if Ikeda are still in business, but there are some excellent audio shops in the Akihabarha region in Tokyo, many of them sell used gear. When I was there in 2012, I saw an used EMT 930...

Excellent write up Steven and a great system.

Sunshine and showers (short and sharp), with a wind that makes it feels cooler than it is.

Agreed! :)

I like them all, save for Soft Parade, which I think is their weakest LP.
