Long before. I don't touch tranny Quads. I tried one once, yuck. Funny comp any, they produced some stars but also some duds. But for the IIs & ESLs th ey can be forgiven anything.

How very 20th Century of you. All the kids use their smart phones. And they use them instead of mirrors, too.

A £30 watch does the trick for me. And the battery lasts several years.

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

Let me see, a watch that's on my wrist and I can view with f*ck all movement, and the battery lasts for years, or a phone I have to get out of my pocket, and can't be bothered carrying around everywhere I go, and fails as soon as I get it wet, and needs recharging every bloody day. No thanks, I'll stick to the device 20 times smaller. Use the device suited to the application. Watch for telling ther time, phone for calling and texting, computer for emailing and browsing the web. Sure, you CAN do them all on a phone, but only if you really really have to....

Well lets face it if you just want something that produces sound, a wife will do, and that costs millions.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Gold RCA jacks have some justification.

I have personally seen on a test rig what a corroded silver to silver contact could do to distortion. Chrome plated RCA however rather than zinc is probaly just fine

Hope you've got something better than the Quad II preamp, unless you like hiss. ;-)

Many many years ago had a pal who (rightly) loved his 57s. But ended up with a Sugden Class A power amp driving them. And had 15" sub mounted in a unused fireplace.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

I'm sure they sound perfect to you too.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

True. The only thing that matters, obviously.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Please list your entire sound system with prices. To prove you spent 200 quid maximum for it all.

Or were you just trying to fool yourself?

But you can't change the station on that.

The "new labour" government has just announced that they are changing th= eir party emblem from a red rose to a condom, as they believe it most ac= curately represents the governments political stance. A condom stands up to inflation, halts production, destroys the next gen= eration, protects a bunch of pricks and gives you a false sense of secur= ity when you're actually being screwed.

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

I've never seen any contact corroded. Just how damp is it where you live?

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

Of course it is, money makes the world go round.
