    Default Entertaining visit to Stryder5

    Gary was fortunate to acquire a new amplifier, a Puccinni SE at a good price, but the model has a bit of a design flaw in that it fries the driver transistors.
    0.5 watt dissipation in a transistor specified at only 0.35 watt maximum

    With suitable modification by yours truly it turns out to be a very good performing amplifier so the Firebottle crew delivered it as I wanted to get a listen to Gary's system.

    A very warm welcome was experienced plus a rather wonderful lunch, thanks to Mrs Stryder5.
    After much inquiry and ribbing about selection of kit the amp was (eventually - he does faff about) plumbed in and very good it was too.



    I did learn that the TT had been out of action for many a long year but Gary has spruced it up a treat.

    A very enjoyable few hours gassing and playing good music, plus I picked up 10 albums from a local charity shop, mainly classical, for the princely sum of £2

    I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
