Actually I have a bottle of Chimay Peres Trappists here that I'm looking forward to drinking soon... Your country certainly does well with barley!
Chimay can be very nice
It's a shame Belgian beers are so dear here. But at present Aldi Liqor online deliver (just the) Leffe for not much more than upmarket Aussie beers 🙂

Stop making me thirsty
My partner is a beer blogger and her favourite Belgian is a grottenbiere (?). I've never had it but I'm curious!
Otto88 - out of curiosity, what do they sell as an 'upmarket' Aussie beer over your way?

Here in Melbourne, Crown is the 'gold label' beer of the big brewers.
For years my favourite has been South Australia's Coopers' Sparkling Ale. The one with yeast sediment at the bottom, (some mix in, some remove, and others leave it to boost the flavour of the last mouthful. At one point I heard that it's the most popular beer of Aussie winemakers
For a while I ran a beer tasting group of 12. Sometimes combine with a sausage shootout. Beers from Aus, America, NZ, Belgium
and GB. My favourites were the Belgians and the (US) Boston Lager
But the other 11 guys were not all of the same frame of mind
it got a bit unruly at times! 🙂

Belgium beer land, round 2400 Belgian brands
With only 11 million people, 2400 brands? Many rich brews too!


Here in Australia we have 23 people but many less breweries. Though interesting brew pubs and micro breweries are always springing up

We also have over 500 wineries, in every state and territory. When I went around Europe, i found the wine relatively dull, Many here are rich in flavour
Aus wine has been called "Sunshine in a bottle"

Just to bring us back on thread - any updates or time timetables meanman? And I hope you received my message about my change of delivery address!

I have recently changed the default Bias from 360mA by default to 700mA and it is quite a difference! you have to wait at least 30 min. after first power on but the flat soundstage becomes wider and shows some depth, although not significantly more depth but you notice it. However, it is always as detailed and musical as before!
Ciao!

...meanman, if you've a few of the laterals spare would I be able to grab a pair of each? This would be additional to my existing order. I've spotted a design recently that uses laterals and i struggled to find them at a reasonable price here in oz. Thanks!

Sorry I only have one SJ162 and one SK1058 left.
I always buy mine Renesas SJ162/SK1058 from Elektronik und Technik bei reichelt elektronik günstig bestellen.
I'll ask my brother if he has some.
Thanks! But don't put yourself to to much bother. I was asking just in case and if it was easy. There's an arguement to be made that I should finish this amp first 🙂
