It’s all very well to sit on our arses and write blogs, the most useful of which will bring down scumbaGamscoFabiaNazi governments whose denizens comprise The Enemy Class, which despises ordinary people. But the alternatives, with very few exceptions of which this is one, (no it’s NOT the BNP which is ultimately socialist like the rest of the established class) will be no better.  

So, as The New Endarkenment closes in, other things have to be done while there are still bits of machinery on the planet to enhance, and a few people in Chindia and SerboRussia are still making stuff that’ll be needed.

As I said before, I will build you one that does this, for £2,750. Some work needed but it’s there. No howling, no hum, it does not catch fire much any more, the musical-instruments sound like they’re in different places in front of you on the sound stage, and it sounds like a machine that might cost thousands, etc etc etc.

I have to admit that I was entirely skeptical about the always-messianic (and occasionally -manic) claims by valve-amp enthusiasts: this skepticism was potentiated too, by their corresponding dismissal of transistorised audio machinery, whose qualities I have understood for decades, many of which I have built, and whose atrributes I have never had reason to doubt.

But now I have built one of these beasts, it really does seem to do what all-they-valve-audio-enthusiasts say it does.

Oh, and biochickenshit-gas will not power it, no not at all. The heater circuit draws about 140 watts alone.

So I guess Al Gore will not be ordering one then.

I am very impressed, though as the builder, I-say-it-as-shouldn’t. The sound quality on this mp3 file is crap by the way, as all I had was a digital camera whose memory-card I’d forgotten to take with me:-
