Thanks Gavin for advising. I was rolling around in my millions until I realized it was but a dream.

Hello Mike, My sincere apology for neglecting to reply. I am somewhat under the hammer and also old enough to forget. I’ll have a talk to myself about that though! The mentioned resistors usually run warm, but not hot enough to crack. Just ensure that the amp has adequate ventilation and...

And as one of the upcountry guys I have to admit this is most likely the best overall Hi Fi show I have attended in South Africa. Kudos to the event organisers as well as to Lance Dixon / Sounds Natural, our agent in this lovely part of our country for setting this up. A touch of genius, no...

Still busy Bruce, mostly done barring one or two details.... we chat over the weekend?:unsure:

I need to stop doing my day job and fix this pair I have courtesy of Francois

Early morning cuppa in the backyard anyone?

Thanks for the memories! I have to say it really came out very nice and was a pretty good match color wise.
