Andrew, your needed!

[plastic penguin]

Back in the autumn joelsim and I mentioned the subject of testing integrated amps/power amps in a Group Test. You said you would have words with gurus who deal with that. Any progress?

 

[Andrew Everard]

No, none at all. I drew the test team's attention to the thread, but so far nothing. Mind you just about everyone is either in Vegas at the moment or away on various holidays, so can't tell you much more...

That's fair enough. Would be a damn interesting test to see how some of the 3 & 4 star amps fair once bi-amped with same make power amp.

Where's the fun in vegas when you could be sat in a traffic jam, or waiting for a bus in cold, wet London?

Or sitting at home looking out at the just-cleared garden, thinking about what to put in it while answering threads on the Forums and posting news stories...?

Was the Vauxhall Viva your first car, Andrew?

I had a Vauxhall Viva! Superb car, it was called Albert (the name came with the car, I had no choice), reverse gear meant putting the gearstick in between the passengers knees and there was a live wire run through direct from the battery into the main compartment for some reason which sparked every now and then when it touched metal. Also, had to attach the engine back on to its mounts using cable ties after once I had to brake hard and it came undone and crashed into the radiator.

Ah, memories (wipes a tear away)...

I had Harry the Herald. It was a 1968 Triumph Herald 13/60. I bought a Sharp cassette player - the car had a full length canvas sunroof. Marvellous!

No - a Mk3 'Coke bottle' Cortina 2000GXL, black with black vinyl roof.

Got hit up the backside by a Fiat while waiting at lights, totalled the front end of the Fiat, scratched the paint on the bootlid of the Life on Mars-mobile a little and broke a rear light lens.

'Appy days, eh...?

Bright orange 1976 Mini with twin carbs, rally exhaust bolted directly to the underside, big wheels/tyres, hifi speakers in the rear footwells - what a fool I must have looked!

Good fun though.

A then 12 year old (but mint), midnight blue Corsair 2000 V4 with black leather seats (no, not the 2000E version). Very reliable. Nice runner even in 1980. Chrome came up beautiful with a bit of care.
