JC's musings about this and that

[Marco]

Guys,

I won't say it again. Mind your language and cut the personal insults. You're all intelligent enough to get your point across without resorting to invective, so wise up or the thread gets locked and some people may be on a week's ban!

Marco.

Ok, Sastus, I remember being that age with a young family. Although it seems tough you should keep going. With a family the first thirty years are the worst.

I fully intend to keep going and support my family Brum, unlike many out there.
As for tough, well that's all personal opinion. The only tough thing about family is how one accepts their responsibility.

All the best for now.
Steve

Whilst we are on a technical note, I was interested to read the following report from a contributor :-

"Then Tony tried these Black Ravioli thingies under my preamp that lifted its feet off the glass shelf by about an inch and everything just snapped into focus. Suddenly the top end really opened up giving rather impressive front-to-back soundstage depth and harmonic decay that was previously missing. "

Wow I thought ! I must try some of this. I diligently searched wifey's cupboards but nowhere could I find any Black Ravioli. Almost ready to give up and accept that the finest tweak of all had eluded me, my gaze fell on a wondrous sight. There in the back of the fridge was a few inches of "Black Pudding".

I proceeded to cut off some 1" slices, whilst wondering how to fit them under my pre-amp. No luck. I couldn't even find my pre-amp all I could see was one optical lead going from my mac mini straight into the speakers (adm9's), so I decide to adapt the method and install the Black Pudding slices under the Mac mini.

The effect was stunning. I played "night on a bare mountain" and the effect of the swirling music, and the aroma of the black pudding, was overwhelming. within about ten minutes I was completely unable to resist, and had obtained two slices of "white crusty" and some "whole grain mustard". Quickly placing the black pudding directly into contact with the bread I ate the resulting sandwich while listening to "the entertainer" by Scott Joplin.

Never before or since has an "audiophile tweak" so fulfilled my needs.
