A bloke we know is a dairy farmer. He has a classic valve system consisting of Revox G-36 valve tape recorder, Quad II preamp and monoblocks (not sure of the speakers in use) playing to the cows in the cowshed at milking. He says the cows notice the difference; due to the milk production.
It could be that the cows have grown up with the old valve radios in the shed, and the solid state was a bit of a shock.

Maybe an Ecofansound setup would make New Zealand's dairy production even more prolific!

A sunny-ish, rather windy winter Sunday here, not hugely cold, but enough to layer up a bit.
