    Is that glass case alarmed and electrified Nando? Coaxially aligned lazers and machine guns? Automatic thief shutters around the perimeter of the house? :D

    Bench power supply suggestions plz

    My Metrix AX502 is decent/stable, but it stinks when powered up and I suspect this is why I got it cheap - from a previous coffee spill into the case or something. Needs to be small footprint, silent, stable, dual, cheap (<€150). Not averse to considering the Chinesium stuff - some of it is...

    Sennheiser fanboi find of the month

    Being in the trade means I get to buy and try new headphones and reclaim the tax, which is handy. Meze Empyrian, Meze Empyrian Elite, Abyss AB 1266 Phi TC, HIfiman Susvara, ZMF Verite Closed, Focal Utopia arrived and departed in quick succession. Everything I've bought recently has been sold on...

    I scored and then sold a boxed TPSL2 a while back and made a tidy profit. I had to swap in a new motor as the original had seized. After I got it working I played some tapes on it and thought the pb quality sucked donkeyballs. Big stinky, sweaty donkeyballs, lol. Strange to think that Ibuka san...

    what are you listening to?

    Well, I followed it up with a little bit of Plan B, which is propa heavy by comparison. Give it a whirl. The video for the Pendulum remix of 'Stay too long' reminds me of the 4 years I spent running around the east end of old London town back in the 90's lol. Album version is epic too.

    If you're familiar with Sylvian then you'll probably enjoy it immensely. If not, I give it 50/50 lol.

    What are you drinking?

    Another busy Friday night at the bench, trying to get through a mountain of orders. But I have a few cans of Dublin's finest to keep me company. Cheers and have a great weekend!

    Grundig GA1000 w&F meter

    Yeah I did spot that one while scouting around with hifishark. looks like it's led a hard life indeed. like the 19inch rack size if that's actually what it is. the grundig one looks nice so i made a cheeky offer. The vu meter on it is about the biggest I've seen. Ideal for these tired old eyes

    Grundig GA1000 w&F meter

    I'm wrong on both counts. Apologies to @George S. here

    Grundig GA1000 w&F meter

    Thanks. I think it was J!m and/or BobBoyer that suggested a Quantasylum device too.

    Grundig GA1000 w&F meter

    I take it that's a resounding 'no' then? lol Any suggestions then for a decent analogue/digital W&F meter that has a 10 sec sample-average function like WFGUI?

    Grundig GA1000 w&F meter

    Any love or experience for the Grundig GA1000 here? One has popped up for sale and looks to be in good shape cosmetically. Reasonable asking price. I use Alex's WFGUI software predominantly and it's a decent bit of kit for a freebie. The ex nuclear engineer in me is always looking for...

    WOW & FLUFFER gauge. Feel like I need one of those in my toolbox :D

    You missed my sarcasm. Andrej's lovely AI girl in the video - the one with the over-sized mouth who looks like she's being worked from behind like a ventriloquists' dummy pronounces the word 'flutter' as 'fluffer'. AI aint as smart as we all think it is, obviously. :D

    I've noticed a lot of the learned and experienced TH members haven't posted there in a very long time. I took some time away from all the forums to focus on building up my business. Came back to TH a year later and it was like 'where the fk is everyone??' I'm about done with the place myself...
