Self explanatory!
As far as I can tell, there's nothing to understand. A failed attempt at fueling the limited national pride.
It's much the same in all of Scandinavia.
I'd say if you manage to make it past 50, without growing up, you have a fair shot at making it.I am now 82 years old...far too young to even think of growing up. 😎
IF I do grow up I think that I will be a perpetual youth.
At 82, I'd say you're safe 😎
Playing.. not spinning. Streaming..Sorcerers I too am a stranger..Moderate libation factor for me in a pub.i.e. my listening room .If I were in a pub with all of you folks I would be buying drinks all night Long for Zenmod..I cannot stop loving Iron Pre Susy. I praise thee ZenMod! it is just so lovely like Mick Jagger telling that young girl in Texas At the live El Mocambo recording at the end of mannish boy where muddy waters actually appeared..the bottom pincher ad lib. where Mick says you're so lovely it's all yours Keith .its just so lovely..made me think , Vishay thin foil input voltage divider. So lovely. I want to pinch the bottom of the thin foil but it's too small. Fantastic 1977 live recording. Anymore for me the recording is what is most fun! Thanks to you lot. And as Jim 6l6 once said at a local gathering, those who don't understand schematics, will never achieve the level of fidelity the we lot have come to know, possibly no truer words have been spoken. Peace.

And well f'ng hell if I were in a pub. And sure I've had a few beers... All I want to talk about is battery.LiPO. the DC impedance is stupid low right? I am building off-grid west of Bolder CO. aside from my ongoing civil engineering concerns, I am self educating off grid solar and vertical wind turbine in a high altitude environment with batteries .It is my understanding that LiPO has much lower Impedance than the grid. I.e. the ability of a DC power supply to respond to the temporal demands of AC music reproduction. Am I wrong? I welcome knowledge an never take offense to being corrected. Peace
Totally normal approach to Life and Everything
in general yes, but not the case when your precious few JFets are fed with decent shunt reg, as case is with decent Iron Pre
@pwayland you must be around Ned eh? Not a bad place at all for solar/wind...
I work on small scale solar for remote cameras/control systems and a little yacht work instead of full on off-grid setups but Victron controllers and LiFePO4 batteries have changed the game for me.
I'm even bidding Victron inverter/chargers and EG4 rack mount batteries for UPS systems right now. That alone provides substantially more profit than any off the shelf systems by APC or Tripp Lite. What gear are you using?

@seventenths I'm Boulder, but land in Rollinsville where I'm building off-grid. I'm south facing sloping land with, well let's just say plenty of wind rolling down the valley from Rollins Pass. I'm drawing plans to build a vertical turbine. I'm now just using 1000w solar array hooked up to my Hallmark camper which has a 200ah LiPO batt, and renogy MPPT and inverter. Still in the planning stage for my battery setup, but yes Victron will be the hardware for sure. A few pictures of the view and the construction trailer I'm reimagining. 90% upcycled building materials.
Anyone know about the whereabouts of Steenoe?
Froggy is still alive, occasionally making a speaker.

The ole Messerschmitt looks like it could benefit from some electrification retrofit.... 2- stroke one lung?
Don't let anyone see you do that! They will bring a net and carry you off to home for befuddled....Don't see much mention of speaker placement optimization, so thought it could be interesting/helpful. I have used the Wilson Audio Setup Procedure, which involves finding "Zones of Neutrality" by starting with your back against a side wall and while talking at a steady slightly loud voice you walk into the room until you hear the reverberation of your voice disappears. This marks the start, continue walking until the reverb returns, do from front wall etc. There is generally more than 1 zone in a room, but often there are limitations on where the speakers can go. Once you have marked your Zones, you lay a tape measure next to each speaker and while playing a test track, whatever song you like to use, you move the speakers 1" at a time taking notes. Then you move to 1/2" increments...........As you can imagine this method can take a looooong time, but I have attained excellent results using it.
Then I learned the MASTER Set that John Hunter(?) developed at Sumiko. By combining the WASP & MASTER Set you can nail your speaker placement in much less time. The MASTER Set doesn't really tell you where the speakers should be in reference to the side walls, which is what I use the WASP for. The other thing that I tend to do is starting with the speakers against the front wall I use an approximate toe-in.
Attached is a description someone was nice enuf to post. This individual kind of poo poos the toe-in and rake but we know better
