Actually , with inflation, it come to under 1000 UKP. Yawn away though. Glad my post gave you an afternoon nap..

Bought my first one for £68 back in 1973

Maybe the Sound Organisation wall brackets might be an option with Kans? I used to have my Kans on Sound Org wall brackets and tried a pair of Kan II stands to see if that was an improvement. It was quite the opposite and went back to my wall brackets. FWIW the best pair of Kans I ever heard...

Hmmm. So the cable might not perform so well in the event of a fire.. Will have to do an A/B.. No, seriously, thanks for this link. I will have to give this some thought. As the building is listed we can, quite curiously, seem to get away with all sorts of things that normal regs apply. I will...

The walls are about 500 years old and are stone with probably a lot or rubble in the middle. The conduit was for ease of use rather than any safety issues. I will be having building work done over the next few months and think I'll ask a favour from the builders on this one. They seem to have...

I guess the difference with my question is that I need to coax the cable through two very thick walls. Didn't mean to mislead, honestly. 2.5mm will be just great as I wont need to drill such a big hole.

I am going to need some speaker cable to go through two, three foot deep walls. At the moment I have lashed up the system , not going through any walls, using some copper cable, 4mm I think, in a dumb bell configuration. Sounds great, much, much better than some silver stuff I tried. The...

Thanks chaps. Just ordered 6 v-tac 40w 4ft 4000k battens. At just £12.00 a piece they look like a bit of a bargain. I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers. Bob

When I say workshop it was the best description I could think of for the use of the room. It is 23ft x 13ft and will have shelves of tools, tins of paint and general DIY stuff. It will have a central workbench for doing DIY stuff on, and at one end of the room a model railway! I guess for all...

Thanks fore the speedy replied guys. Just one more question to add... what are these COB GU10's like? . On the face of it they might be better, for me anyway, than LED .

I am rebuilding a workshop and I am going to be putting about 12 GU10 down-lights in the ceiling. In the past most low energy light makes me feel a bit queasy and uncomfortable. I believe that things have improved a lot in recent years. I would like a warmish colour temperature, but not...

I used to skateboard and hang out with Kate Malone, a previous judge. She then went on to great things. I clumsily broke a pot she gave to me when we were at art college, inspired by Rousseau paintings. Talented lady.

Almost 6 years on and the TP speakers are still doing the business. I haven't changed a single thing in all those years so the music not the 'system' was certainly the winner here. Have a happy and safe 2021. Bob

I have four Focus CD's that I have ripped and never bothered to see which original versions I have, until just now. The only one that doesn't even get close to my vinyl is Hamburger Concerto . It sounds very odd and lacking in warmth. It is the only one that is on the Red Bullet label...hmmm...

Guys, thanks for the speedy replies. All very helpful. I will feed the '88 disc into my unit later. Cheers. Bob
