You could also trim the hedge with it, while it's running.

Re: Michael Parkinson R.I.P.

That's a shame, damn good fella.
Many of his interviews are classics, you can find them all over Youtube.
He had that perfect soft-touch approach which could get so much out of the guests. Seems like a lost art nowadays, at least on TV.

Re: The Audio-Talk Cycling thread.

Somehow it would be good to know eventually who the rider or riders were. As it stands atm, it still taints the entire GB track squad of that era and half of Team Sky.

Re: The Audio-Talk Cycling thread.

Very cool !
Good World champs today, very entertaining, just finished watching it.
A worthy winner indeed. A tough course for everyone, bit like a Spring classic crossed with a Kermesse. In the end it brought the cream to the top as it should do.

Re: Something Stirs in the Workshop

OK then, smaller driver and accept less efficiency :) There are no easy answers in this game. The only future plan I can see for my horn-based system now is a FE167E on a sealed or low, slot-ported box. At least i have reliable output down to 500Hz with the 288 on the Yuichi. Are you really certain ...

Re: Something Stirs in the Workshop

I feel your pain ... and admire the hard work you're putting in.
However with that driver I feel it's just a case of 'You can't get there from here' .
If you want real high-90's efficiency then the classic approach is with a 15" driver with a higher Qts.

Re: 7W, 6336A SE Amplifier

Nice ...
Maybe a pentode with a 5687 CF too as an option ?
