I think those lacks have inherent damping abilities built in - at least I’ve found that when used with a turntable.

Lamb on the BBQ and .......

Cheeky Spaniard down in Esperance before a tough day fishing tomorrow

He is a guru that’s for sure - I still think the Grandinote/ML5 combo I heard is probably the best I’ve ever heard

Didn’t last long haha

I always toast my meet - I suppose if I was a vegan I wouldn’t but then I’m not. I find toasting two meets at 65 gives enhanced stereo flavour.

Every time I come back into the fold - my wallet squeals - the classifieds are an endless source of temptations. When I go quiet it usually means I’m keeping temptations at bay. I do enjoy the discussions and when biffo breaks out I just ignore that thread till it calms down.

Grandinote amps (Grandinote DAC and ML5 speakers) Dartzel driving YG Carmel’s Naksa 125 driving ML1REF That’s the three best sounds I’ve heard - all these amps have special qualities to me

I’ve been to a few lately Midnight Oil - epic amazing energy and great concert Motley Crüe & Alice Cooper - not so good - way past prime and going through the motions The Cure - amazing Rodger Waters - amazing Bruce Springsteen - dud Bryan Ferry - amazing Some can & some can’t. I think Leonard Cohen for one just gets better with age.

My copy has seen too many parties so tics and pops even in the quietest moments for me
