    I'll second that mate. Tunes playing and beer beside me as I type.
    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

    Sad beyond words at this, life really is too short.

    it reverberates personally with me because James and I traded ideas on balanced mains kit yonks ago and only spoken with Him recently about speaker cable.
    Traded forum posts too right back to Hifi Choice website (Pre Wigwam days)...long time to know someone without actually knowing someone.
    My recent car trip was to Miadstone Kent, James' stomping ground and despite having thought about it (and dismissed it) I so wish now I'd got in touch to arrange a meet up.

    Could have, should have, would have....lesson learned.

    Also it brings home personal circumstances with my Dad, who's at that time.
