Another interesting data point on LDRs.
Hi Clive,
yeah I'd love to get together and try different things out with you. Given your location we should have hooked up ages ago.
However, it'll have to be in couple of months though as for...
Great news Morten (and not altogether a surprising outcome - it was just a question of clarification).
I look forward to the next set of objections ;)
I appreciate the kind words of Macca and Marco and here are my thoughts on the day.
As always with these events, it's the social aspect that I enjoy the most and in particular in this case Marco,...
Sure, you can reverse my polarities any time Marco :)
Ok, the scene is set:

I've brought the NVA power amp down from the...
Let's be very clear about why this thread was started and what it's about. It's about LDR pre amps and whether there is something fundamental about that technology that makes them better than any...
Fair enough Martin. In my case I thought that a reference to the archive site specifically about LDRs and not about anything personal would be acceptable.
Let me see if I can make my 2 points...
Des, it's great to hear that you're enjoying your LDR as much as I am mine, and it's exactly the point of this thread: I also bought an LDR, on a bit of a whim as it was cheap and because the theory...
Yep we did, but very briefly as we already preferred your XTZ vs the TSS so it wasn't a very interesting combo by then...
Edit: anyway,we can do 'the challenge' again at my place next weekend...
Tell you what Richard, if you don't like the LDR, I'll buy it off you for a fair price. :)
And do let me know if there's any other decision you want to make in life and I'll see if I can indemnify...
Well I've been having a great evening enjoying the music from the LDR - in this case the Tortuga. I bought an apple remote today to control the LDR and 'testing' the remote was a great excuse to...
As Ali says, it's not buffered.
I think Morten addressed your question regarding the Tortuga and as for the Stereo Coffee I'll leave it for Chris to answer as I'm not an expert on the designs.
Marco, I reached the same conclusion as you in your previous post, that because no alternative has yet been found, the exemption still persists, which is how I understood the comment from the...
Interestingly I just searched on a number of suppliers of solar panels and leaded solder, and not one of them had any information about health risks. And when my leaded solder arrived from RS there...
Guy I'm not sure I understand your point.
If you are coming at this from a legal point of view, then there's not much to say until Chris gets an answer from his letters.
If it's from a safety...
Thanks Chris, much appreciated.
Nice one Chris. Your efforts to clarify the situation are appreciated.
No worries Neal, I respect your views on this but I'm a little unclear on the details of the law in the case of a consumer.
I understand that a company importing non RoHS products to sell or...
Excellent point Richard. Those that are spreading this FUD solder with fully leaded solder almost every day!
Also better ditch all those solar panels:
"Cadmium in Solar panels - Cadmium...
No, there doesn't seem to have been any progress on this as far as I can see - read here.
"...This expired on 31 December 2013 so it can be no longer be used and there is no replacement...
Hi Dave, my brainwashing comment was a general one and used to highlight why my hifi experience has been somewhat sheltered. I'm sure you're right about different power amps being designed with...
Me and Macca wanted to make an appearance there today but didn't get round to booking advance (free) tickets.
Does anyone know if we can just turn up or are they really going to turn us away?...
Justin, I have no doubt that you're absolutely right. My particular situation is that I have such limited space in my attic/office that to justify making room and squeezing in a dedicated guitar amp,...
Yes, it is unusual I agree.
But you see for many years I was an NVA fanboy and subject to their brainwashing, so actives were never on the agenda. When I escaped and embraced the wider world and...
