Great title for a thread, I was going to you’re unlikely to find many PFMers young enough to care but tapes, now you might just have a chance. GLWTS!

From another perspective, to be English is perhaps to be a mongrel. I mean, I’m aware of our northern European-ness in terms of build and perhaps ease of learning languages in comparison to the difficulty for many with the Latin languages. However I’ve never thought of us as a pure indigenous...

To me we often only realise our Englishness when surrounded by different cultures. I’ve worked internationally a lot of my life and became aware of our reserved nature, diplomacy or lack of directness or bluntness. With a Colombian wife and Italian teenager in the house I’m even more aware of...

I spotted this video this morning

I tend to think that happens when investors muscle in rather than greed from the current ownership. Thankfully JR is benevolent and has a social conscience but I do wonder what happens after he’s gone, assuming he is still at the helm.

I was impressed with Dynavector also but it’s such a personal thing and I guess I like the richness or warmth that I found with the Hana. In comparison with others on a Rega anyway.

As I posted in my RS10 thread I changed my mind about selling my those and will let my 66s go instead. I posted about this late last year as the Dittons really took my surprise when they arrived and I knew I could live with them as well as the absurdly expensive at retail price RS10. I have...

Now withdrawn from sale as I'm going to keep them and sell my Celestion Ditton 66 instead.

Sort of cool fusion Nic until some Lullaby specialist joins in. If I have grandchildren I’m going to get them to sleep with him, erm, singing, won’t take long.

I like the notes they play, I’m still trying to like the order they play them in :-)

I only own a lowly RP10 Tim and moved from an Apheta 2 to a Hana ML preferring the weight and body of it, more texture to the music and less brightness. I posted about it in a thread back then. I expect I’d have liked an Umami Blue if I was spending more too.
