I’m only bothered about the speed of my arse when the stylus reaches the runout groove.

Indeed with the runout groove the speed of sound is irrelevant, but while music isplaying it could affect whether a particular note is excessively boomy, or missing due to cancellation in the room!

Thanks FR. I have been quite busy this week. I got a contact from someone who was very keen to get hold of the GIK Acoustics panels that I had used when I first started getting into room treatment.
These have been dispatched this morning so I have now had time to locate the magazine issue and have a read. Lots of information. Even stuff about better ways of getting info from vinyl!
Do you have any plans to buy something new?
No, I just bought two very expensive cables.
But I like reading some hifi reviews and discover new stuff.
Generally I make upgrades every 2 years.
We’ve been in the Bercy pool today and it was absolutely hilarious. More police and other personnel than visitors and everyone who did not behave precisely as expected got a reprimande by some official.
I was lucky that my kids behaved well. normally they don’t and try to cross borders of what’s expected from them ( as proper Dutch rebellious kids do ).
There was a media team too doing an interview with a posh Paris looking elderly guy.
Personnel friendly though and they were willing to speak English with me.

All this shows that you need to be so careful about all these “chemicals”, like:
dihydrogen monoxide
hydrogen hydroxide
and worst of all
hydroxonium hydroxide

I met Nathan Zohner. As sharp as you might expect. He works for a business similar to mine.

Clough Williams-Ellis was actually a distant (and very eccentric) cousin of ours.
OK, some people think the whole family is bit eccentric, but even by our standards he was rather ‘out there’.

I had also an eccentric uncle, Penderecki, the music composer.
Couldn’t understand his music, but other billions can.

Everyone has an eccentric uncle, but some are more eccentric than others.

Do you appreciate his music?

Rooster, I had to listen to it as part of my study. The only post tonal music I could appreciate was from Alban Berg and Olivier Messiaen. I realise that I still need to learn a lot.

Cool! Love his music. Bought quite a few LPs of his in the mid 70s. He came to Buffalo for some big event (large Polish immigrant community historically in Buffalo), but I couldn’t go. Unfortunately.
