  1. I'll be there, but only to see you Head-Casers. If prodded, I might even make my world famous chili and have people over to my place for the *real* meet. [emoji5]

  4. London Part Deux Had a personal guided tour of "The Information Age" gallery at The Science Museum, by The Keeper Of Research Projects (plying him with wine and showing him the southern sky at night when he visited SF must have helped) Some amazing artifacts in a well developed narrative including ... Some of Mr Babbage's creations Awesome tech specs of 1200 valve powered computer Early BHSE prototype Original WWW server (Thank's (Sir) Tim) Something for the Apple fans Oblig vinyl and valve porn ( well it is a museum [emoji1] ) Then onto the "Making the Modern World gallery" Worlds first jet turbine car V2 Etc Then out into the chilly night air, by the Natural History museum, before having a meal with friends, then home. Busy, but satisfying day.

  8. While I'm happy with the 3 shelves audio rack I had made from a drawing I did, the only shelf I can put the BHSE's amp section is the top one, and the problem with that is it leaves the tubes open and more susceptible to being caught. So I did another drawing of an audio rack where the BHSE's amp section will be placed on the second to top shelf which in turn will protect the tubes more. With how I've designed this new audio rack, there'll be plenty of ventilation for the BHSE, and the way I'm rearranging my living room this new audio rack will fit in better than the old one. I'll still be using the old audio rack, but I'll be having the legs cut below the top shelf, which will be almost splitting the rack in half, I'll then have turned in to two coffee tables. The frame of this new audio rack is made of the same stuff as the old one, mild steel. The new rack is made so I'm now having it powder coated matt black, it also has 5 shelves but with me having them 20" wide, only one unit can be placed on one shelf which is what I wanted, apart from the bottom shelf where I'll be placing the BHSE's PSU and my MacMini. I use the MacMini as a music server to my K-01's DAC. This is a photo of my old audio rack which the shelves are wenge wood, the shelves of the new one will be plyboard and covered in carbon fibre wrapping.

  9. My favorite recording has been released by different names at different times, but it is from 1963 (a good year if I say so myself) and was recorded in a medieval chapel in Arles, France. The Connoisseurs Society recorded and released it. My disc is called Manitas de Plata and Friends but there is a longer version they released as a three-record set. There are flac files floating around the web. I also like the Carnegie Hall recording and some others I cannot recall by name.

  10. I have in the past but the key thing is to make them comfortable, then the fit is correct. For the cone people you need to make the arc into an inverse U shape and then adjust the angle above the ears. One good way to test is to place your hands behind your head and change the angle of the cups relative to the head without breaking the seal. Ohh and don't obstruct the backwave either as that messes up everything.

  12. I'll likely be there one way or another. But yes, it is one in a long chain of events in California organized by a new, much more commercially-oriented group of Head-Fiers who have little to no knowledge of the days of yore.
