Re:
sorry Velofrog no idea on that
Got a proper hifi stand this week. Something I have always hankered for but had always felt that there could be no real discernible benefit (despite the mags saying so) and stacked on the floor was good enough. Have to say I was wrong, not a dramatic change but defiantly an improvement and looks the business too. Wife is happier as well and that is never bad.

Re:
Happy days!
A couple of years ago I built a little gainclone power amp:
All was well until about a year ago when it just stopped working and wouldn't power on. I put it on the floor to one side of my desk and added it my "I'll have a look at that later" list.
Today I opened it up and had the multimeter ready; I suspected that the soft-start circuit board was at fault and that this wasn't switching on properly and delivering power to the transformers. Before I even went anywhere near the multimeter the I saw that the little LED on the front panel was alight and it all looked OK. I connected it all up and hey-presto, it's all working fine.
The patch of carpet next to my desk will now be known as the magic carpet and all faulty things will reside there for at least a week before I attempt to fix them in the hope that they too will magically fix themselves.

nice graphic!
I've just sold the Lecson - £450. Not a bad investment.

Re:
Don't know if you dyed in the wool audio guys are already aware of this site?. I've just stumbled on it whilst searching for early 90's hifi magazine scans and it's like mainlining audio crack, I want one of all of them!. Enjoy the retro-ness!
