In honour of the bulb in the Pepper pot (sustaining the charge to my BM2 from my Anker Battery)......I decided this evening to listen to Art Pepper "Meets the Rhythm Section" (1957).

I have a particularly wonderful 24-192 Vinyl Rip of this fine album to play through the battery powered Touch and BM2. What can I say - a large glass of Shiraz and this album - wow just wow !

Given that legend has it that Art was strung out on heroin and uninformed of this session until the last minute - and using a taped up horn - this is just superb music. As others have commented the bass provided by the battery solution is just awesome. Bass in my system has always been good - I know a lot of you will scoff but I play the BM2 through a Musical Fidelity X10D tube buffer (with full Rock Grotto makeover) - see here -

- the bass with this baby inserted was very - very good but unbelievably the battery power takes it up another level


P.S The good news also is that I got past Sunday Lunch without my wife noticing the missing pepper pot from the condiments cupboard.
