Just for fun, what projects have you got lurking in your garage to while away the winter blues?
I've got some lenco fettling, valve assessment and some experimentation with some ebony footers on the boil.

Have Transcendent Sound Pinnacle 300b OTL monoblocks to build, should keep me busy for a while.
“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”

Just picked up a pair of 63s. Though they seem to be repairing themselves as I left them at mrdog's and hes replaced panels on one and is getting stuck into the second. With that in mind I guess a subwoofer with p-eq will be on the list.

Same here, just music, system is sounding so fine these days, hard to want to do anything but listen. When I try to get up out of my chair, it kind of remains stuck to my bum. We have merged! Hah! Actually it is nice to not really want anything more at the moment.
Merry Christmas and New Years to you all!
