It's depreciated faster than an Aston Martin. Faster than a Peugeot in fact. So now is the time to buy Macca, like the Alpha 166 (?), beautiful car but it lost something like 70% in 3 yrs, then it became a bargain.

Concluded communications with Pro-ject / Henley concerning their new fangled dustbug. It's called the S2 sweep-it. I've tried every dustbug ever made and they've all been tripe. But this one is designed how I thought they all should have been designed. With a wide flat brush instead of a narrow little paintbrush thing that isn't even big enough to collect any dust.
.https://www.project-audio.com/en/product/sweep-it-s2/ . My correspondence went roughly thus. Moi..." Hello Mr Project. I wish to buy one of your new S2 Sweep it dustbug thing's. However , things being as they are with brexit etc I thought I'd just ask if the item is actually in the UK . The reason is that I'm still waiting at least 4 packages from Europe , two of which are lost without trace. Thanks." Mr Project.... "You can order direct from Henley UK. Here's the link." . Moi..... "Brilliant thanks. I'll assume that from your kind reply mail the items are actually in England. Would that be correct as I understand Pro-ject are initially imported from Europe." . Mr Project....... No answer. Obviously my pestering tried his ( Josh at Pro-ject ) patience to an unbearable degree.
'No matter' , thinks I....I shall procure said dust buggy compatible without furthur ado. I then went on the link and filled in the form with the customary details and pressed the 'BUY' button. "OUT OF STOCK".
Thanks and off you F#ck then Mr Project ! I shall darken your helpful doorstep no more. 😞

As long as they don't meet on the same night in the same pub as the Flamethrower Appreciation Society I'm sure it will all be fine.

Todya inspired by tales of Neurochrome derring do i am going to seenif I can use the HP2 headphone amp as a pre into my monos to see what it might sound like. I have re-set the gain in it to low ,just in case. Before and after shots, adapted an old set of Cambridge Audio interconnects for it. Lets see what happens! BB3 into HP2 into Monos. 🤯

Sorry chaps stacking tins a long ime and another life ago far to stressful!
Project is a custom dual rail power supply for a pair of in series Mutec re-clocking devices. All AES and BNC cables completed. A new DC umbilical design for the twin psu outlets. Top specification 8 amp dc fittings plus a new super-cap co-design cap array. Internal upgrages to the MC3+ themselves.
Having witnessed a customers set up using a dual Mutec approach and was really surprised at the very positive outcome it delivered that was way before Christmas
Just had to try this for my self. Not had a great deal of time to get to grips with this project since early January have managed to squeeze these jobs in as and when I could given the time constraints. Though have managed to have added a few interesting finishing touches!
With a bit of luck should be operational by the end of the week

Today I spent the day listening to music, chilling out after the wife packed her bags and left me yesterday afternoon.
She will be back next week, so everything is fine.

Hi Antonio You are correct, I must admit after hearing a pair slaving each other at a clients I thought 'This has some serious potential' Currently just making sure I have been dotting the 'i's and crossing the all the 't's. Both clocks will be receiving a reference 10Mhz clock signal via the Mutec SE-120 as well. Looking forward to trying this out in the system at the weekend.
