    P.S Could do with some input from you on the food thread - you did promise to be more active there!

    Marco.
    No, I'm the one lurking behind Macca doing an impression of Zaphod Beeblebrox whilst using my phone to take a sneaky pic of Macca's trainers.

    Yes you're right, I did promise, re. the food thread. I also hoped for some feedback re. my music choices in the 'Spinning today...' thread. We all need to try harder

    S.
    After returning from another bake-off & removing it from it's box, the 'protecting' magnet slid across & made the indentation. I can pull it out, but so far it returns to 'sunk' as you see. Very delicate material. One of the guys offered another suggestion which I'll try.

    That's unusual and unfortunate, kids are the usual culprits. Those dome tweeters are a magnet for small prying fingers. I have a pair of Monitor Audio 'Radius' speakers and some B&W DM603s that suffered the same fate. I haven't noticed a change in SQ though. And I gave the B&Ws to a mate so it's his problem now.

    I've heard of folk using a hoover (sounds a bit excessive), and sucking them out with a drinking straw. Never tried it though. What is the suggestion you were given?

    I listen to music; I don't talk much about it, so aside from me posting images of what I've been listening to, you'll not get much from me there.

    Second left,back to wall ,Vince,to his left,right at the back is Steve (Vinyl Junky).I'm surprised no-one mentioned Vince's "homebrew" amp in the wooden box .Having heard it at Vinces home and at NEBO -it is impressive ,on all types of music.I was impressed with both the Thorens and Ariston tt's and echo the remarks about Alan's standmounts.I had nothing new to bring and for the first time I had to leave early ,but it took nothing away another enjoyable day.Full credit to Steve and everyone who travelled from near and far to make another great day .

    Oh yes, that amplifier... I did wonder if there were enough air holes in it to keep the mice inside safe... then we heard it Worked beautifully, well done that man. So that's Vince then.

    Well, I eat food; I don't talk much about it. But I will try, that's what I call making an effort.

    Fair enough. You're the one who made the promise though - I didn't agree to anything.
