Good morning, I'm looking forward to a day without anything wet falling from the sky. Ground is frozen and and although not down deep enough to take the weight of tractor, it should at least make pushing a wheelbarrow up the slopes a lot easier.
I'm another one on the look out for a new stereo amp. My son gave me his PMC TB2i speakers at Christmas. He wasn't using them after he upgraded his own system and was kind enough to give them to me instead of selling them on ebay, which he did with all his other audio equipment. They are absolutely stunning compared to what I had before and deserve something better to drive them. Part of me wants to go with the old school class A/B amps , though they waste a lot of power (that's why they need big vent slots to let out all the heat). Class D amps are cool, literally, generally way more power efficient, so they can go in sleeker cases and are getting better all the time, so with my ageing ears they are about good enough. I used to be obsessed about THD (total harmonic distortion) numbers for amps, now thanks to tinnitus, I don't really care anymore. I have a "borrowed" amp at the moment that supports DNLA over wifi, though now I mostly stream music instead of playing from a hard disc server, it's often easier to connect to the amp using Airplay from an ipad.
long as its not freezing rain/rain.
