  1. Article suggesting that it is the artifacts we are familiar with, that we like.. I remember wondering what audiophiles were up to, buying extremely expensive home audio systems to play old vinyl records. They put turntables in sand-filled enclosures with elaborate cabling schemes. I wondered what they heard in that music that I didn't. Someone explained to me that audiophiles liked the sound artifacts of vinyl records -- the crackles of that format. It was familiar and comfortable to them, and maybe those affects became a fetish. Is it now becoming the same with iPod lovers? The Sizzling Sound of Music - O'Reilly Radar

  10. I concur.
  11. ^ Unfortunately, Duggeh will now find it more expensive to drink to that! (Which I guess was the idea of the legislation, founded on the potentially flawed idea that demand for alcohol in Scotland, is indeed elastic, as opposed to being effectively inelastic, as Duggeh suggests)

  14. from Alcohol price crackdown to tackle Scottish binge drinking - Telegraph Alcohol price crackdown to tackle Scottish binge drinking A minimum price on a unit of alcohol is to be introduced under radical plans to tackle Scotland's binge drinking epidemic. By Simon Johnson, Scottish Political Editor Last Updated: 8:42PM GMT 02 Mar 2009 Alcohol will be priced according to the number of units in an attempt to tackle binge drinking in Scotland Alcohol will be priced according to the number of units in an attempt to tackle binge drinking in Scotland Photo: Simon Roberts Scottish ministers argued the measures, the first of their type in the world, were needed to stop shops selling cheap lager and cider for "pocket money prices". Campaign groups urged the Government to roll out minimum pricing across the rest of Britain, but the drinks industry predicted it would have little effect other than to punish ordinary shoppers.

    ^^ Thanks for the Clarification. It sounds like I should book Fri/Sat/Sun soon, regardless - which makes sense. If I understood the numbers I saw in the Chat room correctly, with *enough* people it could *even* be cheaper than flying (include parking etc etc) -although that could be a pretty big IF. How many people can Santa's RV take? maybe we should charter him, instead

  23. Sweet! Sir, I applaud your efforts! I have been watching the various threads on this matter with interest. From a personal perspective, I've been interested in a High End SS amp, having seen what various people have done with the B22, naamf amongst others. Given the likely cost of such an endeavor , the incremental delta for adding decent control, monitoring and display over and above the power supply, amplification and casework seems worthwhile. (If I'm spending this much on amp, it should do double duty as a speaker amp, and thus have a remote control of some sort!, etc) Given the block diagram, how much of it is tied to the use of DynaFet gain stages, e.g could you substitute B22 boards? I think there is a lot of mileage in this approach, and look forward to your progress with interest. (Disclosure: As a Transporter owner, I'm very interested in the direct external control - you could imagine the duet/controller controlling the amp functions -etc)
