    Default BSEA amps.

    The power output and other characteristics between the 6A3 and 2A3 are essentially the same. Perhaps a bit more HT can be used with the 6A3. They are treated as separate bottles in the literature, not just same except for filament like many other valves.
    I think the tops are a bit nicer with the 6A3, but it may be just my imagination.
    The difference in price of the amps just reflects the somewhat dearer more rare 2A3.
    Below: This is a reggae "sound system" these bods have built. "HiFi" they say. Not sure I want to hear it.
    Some neigbours right near me have been spending months building a reggae sound system into their car with two 15" woofers in the boot. It's disconcerting to have the glass rattling in my living room window while I try to listen to some music. I did go out and confront them last week, explaining that I couldn't hear my stereo and could they perhaps turn it around and down or something. They momentarily reduced it a couple of db.
    I've sorted that now though with a small outdoor PA horn pointed and bathing them in 4500HZ. That seems to have done the trick. A summer of thunder? I think not. They don't look pleased!

    Default Home made instruments.

    A contact on Flickr, Ron, drew my attention to some of his favourite YouTube videos. Here's one:

    Default Music appreciation.

    At present those bods are sitting in the car in their garage listening to it, (not loud). I gather they haven't got a stereo in the house!

    hi all,

    jack's right, not sure he wants to hear it.

    went and heard it the other evening - really
    needs to be played outdoors. perhaps felt it
    would be a better description of the experience...

    all vinyl and analogue front end, custom eq for
    live shenanigans - trailer for documentary on
    jamaican soundsystem cultures here:

    a top effort by a dedicated crew - maybe we
    can encourage them to get a valve top end

    cheers,

    Default Outdoor music.

    It will be good this summer to see some live outdoor music at WOMAD. Something a bit less one track than just reggae. Also, can't complain about the sound quality there!
    Here's something from last year:

    Still haven't finished all those You Tube links, but enjoyed what I have seen so far, thanks!

    And as for the latest - why does Madonna's Vogue spring to mind - "strike a pose, there's nothing to it" ? I think she had a pair of globe 50s too!
