Today I ... Received the following pic from a mate currently wondering around Munich. The planar speakers are reported as an "ultimate sound". Am trying to find out what the valve stuff is.

Don't wish away summer John, I for one certainly don't want to go back to short days, trees bare of leaves, and the cold and damp weather. I won't be putting my fan on until it gets a damn site warmer here than it has been today. Doesn't John live in That London? They've had it unseasonably warm lately. And don't forget they're not as tough as us northerners

It’s the oversize “liquorice laces” that get me. Surely some cables would do a better job?

I am 550 miles south of London, so I must be really soft, and fluffy?

I wouldn't necessarily say so, but the heat seems to have 'melted' your brain when you cannot make out if a cartridge is half finished or not

Nice haul.
Online, or did you go in a shop Oliver? I've not stepped into a record shop for a couple of years now, never seem to have the time. I should be ashamed. I'll be spending a week or so in Dorset/Devon/Cornwall in a couple of weeks, and I know of a good shop in Poole, so I'll give them a visit.

Haven't been to one for a long time, probably pre-covid. Wasn't loads in there but I hit 4 or 5 Lps I wanted in quick succession. Well chuffed.

I started my weekend. I have been browsing R2R DACs, but have gone off that idea, for now. The RME still works fine, so why change.

Finally have the parts on the way for a 19V/4A power supply for the music server. Will see if it arrives in time to be this weekend's project.
