Stored the Sttafs away for now, gonna use the Lintons in this flat for a few months before I try the Sttafs, so that I can properly assess both. The Lintons do sound slightly different here than in my last place, but I'm not so free hear to play at louder volume so may never really know, the hippies upstairs seem to be in alot.

They will probably appreciate some loud rock music then.
I once rented a house that had poxy students living in the basement below my living room.
In deference to neighbours I don't tend to play music before 1100. Sometimes I would put something on maybe at 1130 or 1200 and they would bang on their ceiling (my floor). I always took that as a sign that they wanted the volume turned up, which I obliged.
They got the last laugh though. When they moved out after their three years were up I went down there and discovered there was no separate electricity meter. I'd been paying for their power the whole time.

Outwitted by students, that's got to sting a bit
I remember when a mate of mine and his other half rented this slightly run down flat, where his only neighbour was a judo club occupying the floor above. Somehow he discovered that one of the wall sockets didn't go to his meter, so absolutely everything was plugged into it. Fridge, telly, stereo, a variety of appliances... his leccy bills never amounted to more than a standing charge and a few light bulbs. How they never had a fire I've no idea.

A friend of mine was troubled by his upstairs neighbour playing music loudly in the evening.
For some strange reason the fuse box for the two flats was just outside his flat. So whilst the neighbour was out, my friend scraped down the fuse wire to about the thickness of a hair. So when the neighbour came back from work, the lights would still work, but as soon as he switched on the hi-fi the fuse would blow.
Not sure if it did the trick, but it certainly gave my friend satisfaction.
