FYI David, and you weren't to know, but my mental health has been rather poor over the years. If I could have pulled myself together and manned up as you imply I should have, I would have done it in a heartbeat long ago, long before any of you even knew I existed, rather than have endured the pain of the Generalised Anxiety Disorder I have only recently been diagnosed with.mainscablesrus wrote: ↑Mon May 21, 2018 9:11 pmWas not there last year but if someone had said something about something I had brought along either to my face or behind my back guess what I would do?

To successfully compare requires there to be a high degree of trust among those participating, and for people to be up-front and straight with each other, as it was was on Saturday at my place, with Chris and Dave, or as it always is at Steve's with Scott, Steve and Ed (or Nick and Paul a good few years ago now).
That essential trust was lost at Owston last year, and as a result, no audio equipment of mine is going there. I will not put myself in a situation like that again, it's really that simple.
I'll come for the crack and I'll fetch the DIYNVA for Nick to listen to, but thats it for my own gear.
Nothing phases me, nothing bothers me, nothing offends me, couldn't care less what people think of my gear, that's just me, why do grown men get all hot and bothered over such trivial matters? I thought that was for women.
But I'm being treated for it now and need to look to the future.
As I said in my last post, there will be teething troubles.
