Laphroaig is very peaty. I'm new to Scotch and when I tried Laphroaig for the first time, I liked it. No acquiring needed.
How well known is Ralfy in Scotland? He posted a lot of Scotch reviews over the years.
Why would anyone do that when there is rum and coke. 😕
It's good, unfortunately the prices of 25 year old bottles have gone crazy over the past 15 years.
I really liked the now discontinued Glenlivet Nadurra 16 cask strength. The new versions have no age statement.
Aberlour A'bunadh is also very good. For something lighter, I like Glenmorangie 10 or the 18.
In my experience, a lot of people don't like Laphroaig, Lavavulin, or Ardbeg on first sip. I don't mind them, but I don't usually buy or order them. Prefer Lagavulin if I had a choice.
Ralfy's reviews are certainly detailed, but so long. Good material if you're having trouble sleeping.

Yes it is expensive, but then I imbibe about bottle per year, so that’s fine.
Aberlour A’bunadh is no longer available here (we have only province run liquor stores), Glenmorangie 18 is another of my favourites.

Jack and Coke was the late Harry Pearson's preferred drink. It reflects his origins as a newspaper reporter.
I think it was a 21 yr. old Caol Ila or Bunnahabhain that struck me as a a nice balance. Lagavulin was always a favorite, but I don't do the brown spirits anymore.
Had an 1804 single barrel Cognac once, hard to fault that.

He was a real firebrand back in his early days in Arkansas. One notable success was (with the efforts of many, many others) to get the Buffalo River designated the first National River. A place of great beauty saved for future generations to enjoy.
All good fortune,

After a dose of Dan’s new age alt-physics, you will need something to clear your head.

that keeps popping up in here, as justification for all sorts of wonderful modifications.
“ Laphroaig is a strongly peated Isla whisky which has the medicinal flavour of iodine and seaweed which, to me, is an acquired taste.”
Good for sore throats and disinfecting stab wounds inflicted by rival Clans during battles over grazing rights I was told by the lady in this little boutique whisky tasting room in a hotel in Sheildaigh (sp?)

Then just go to some other thread and don't read what gets written here. Or put what you don't like or agree on ignore. Your head and liver will thank you for that. 😉

Lol, my observations are not counter to physics, indeed they are confirmations.
Enjoy your whiskies, the singles and the blends all cloud the mind in their individual ways, same as the local red I am enjoying right now.

Hi, Richard, may-be it is not smart at all, but I have to confess I love a glass of Jack Daniels. Like some of those Irish whiskeys that comes with the water of the river that was used to distillate-it, listening to some Nashville blues or country music or some Menphis R'n'b.
Actually I think this is a valid topic for here. High end audio (Which is sort of the raison d'etre for this thread as well as a toddler pen for the badly behaved) is often a selfish and hedonistic pleasure and oft enhanced with a glass of something nice and alcoholic. Personally I think peaty malts go better with Bruckner, a nice red with Mahler and cocoa with simon and garfunkel.
There is variation in amplifier output connection RC networks.
My Denon receiver runs 0.047uF Polyester>10R, the Pioneer receiver I just fixed runs two series 0.22uF/50V Polyester>4R7, Parasound runs 0.047uF/250V Polyester>5R6.
Does anybody know the science behind the values, I understand the network provides a known load at out of band frequencies, does the loading at higher frequencies need to be so much, why not say 20R ?.

See the name of the thread?
I thought this is John's place about all his things, but, strangely, it attracts all sorts of gatecrashers like $hit flies..

The 6th edition of Douglas Self's book, Audio Power Amplifier Design, includes an entire chapter called "Output Networks and Load Effects", pp. 355-385. The science behind the component values in Zobel networks is discussed there.
