Crap Weather For July

[Pigmy Pony]

Temp today low 20s, and that is just right for me. Shame it's been pissistantly raining all day.

Thursday was torture, I was out in it all day, and though I drank gallons of water, I didn't pee all day. Which can't be good. Customer was looking sideways at me a bit, as I never asked to use the loo. He was very clear about where the toilet was and that I should just go without asking, he left the door unlocked for us. I think he suspected we were just using a corner of the garden.

We've had 21 hours of continuous rain. It's cool outside but baking in my house. Obviously it's soaked up enough heat over the past week that the Edwardian air conditioning is no longer effective.


Having a hundred watt class A amplifier running isn't helping either. So I'm drinking beer to keep cool.

You're living inside what is a basically a giant storage heater.

I thought you would have something cooler to run during the hot weather. One of those little T-amp jobbies would be ideal.

I normally use a pair of class A amps with a standing dissipation of 800W. But with this hot weather I've replaced them with a pair of Quad 510s, having a much lower dissipation.

I was worrying a little about my 300b SET amp, and thought I should put my Wazoo amp in its place. But it's gone cooler now so should be ok. But how do people in hot countries go on, are Class A amps a no-no for them?

I remember how my AN 300b amp heated up nicely and was certainly ok when it was cooler, don't think it'd be good though at the mo with the hotter weather... mind you the ML gets warm'ish but not in the same way the 300b did

I don't really know. Whilst I have spent time in numerous hot countries around the world, listening to 'hi fi' was not a major interest or concern at the time. But I have visited Japan which can be both hot and humid, and did visit various hi-fi emporia there. I assume they relied on effective air conditioning in their stores.

My Musical Fidelity AMS 35i certainly warms the room. Gets mad hot even when not playing any music, as it's pure class A and always it's drawing current. Certainly worth it though..... gorgeous sounds.

Still lashing down here, but no thunder/lightning, which will be much to Anita's relief. Thunder scares her shitless, and she thinks there's something wrong with me for liking it.

No car boot sales today, so next week I'll have to double up on my fix of super-cheap CDs I'll probably never play. Mrs. P was away last night visiting a friend, which may explain why I'm listening to Lou Reed's 'White Light/White Heat' rather loudly at 7.30am

Still raining here and heavily too. Think it has been going on all night. Might have to go and take another look at the river.
