Re: Pete Millett LR phono preamp

Oh dear - so having tested out my reverse RIAA on the Whest to prove its accuracy... here's what the response of my build of the Millett stage looks like: https://user.fm/files/v2-b404bdc60427b349a6cc9fa06072d208/Frequency_Resp.png That's rising from -14dB at 18Hz to -6dB at around 500Hz. Then we d...

Re: Where Did You Start?

First bit of kit for me was an old ITT music centre I got when I was 12. I remember it sounding pretty good- the speakers had a single paper cone driver each. For my 18th I got an Akai stack system- I ended up blowing the amp wiring two sets of speakers to it. I then saved up and bought my first bit...

Re: Zero emission road vehicles.

Anyway, in a nutshell, guy has a BMW 318d, does a regular 350 mile round trip and wanted to see if a Volvo EV would allow him to do it more cheaply. Ended up costing him about £35 more than the BMW and 90 minutes more to do it in the EV.

Re: General health matters.

Bit of a 'catch all' Ali, who knows! Some pundits have said that by now we've all had it one way or another - who cares. There is another variant out there; reportedly very much more contagious/ infectious but a million miles from being a killer unless you're terribly fragile and likely to shuffle ...

Re: Alloy Wheels

I bought from ebay a spare set of alloys with winter tyres- a necessity living in Scotland with a bmw when I visit my mother in the Cairngorms on a regular basis. When they needed a new set of tyres it was cheaper to buy another set of wheels with nearly new tyres than to replace the tyres on the ex...
