    An amplifier is a musical instrument and not a measuring instrument.

    It's great. All it needs now is for the dog to come flying through the room and landing in the middle of it all!

    I hope there's no trip hazards around that collection of bits, wouldn't like to be the chap who stumbles and lands in the middle of it all!

    Judging by that lot it's probably at the nearest sub-station.

    Also, it's just the way things worked out. Originally Steve heard my Yaqin and was blown away by it but didn't like the idea that it wasn't 'CE approved' (thereby not being insured in the event of something going pop and perhaps causing a fire) so without too much lateral thinking, and knowing about the existence of the A30 which was already CE approved, that's what he decided to go for.
    Just FYI, the moment one resistor is changed in the amp, the previous CE marking falls off.
