o exalted one, may i humbly put before you
all my designs and spices ?
for ratification, you will note


Hmmm.....you use those obsolete devices otherwise known as "vacuum

Sorry, can't do. This is 2005, you know?

You'll have to ask Prof. Turner about that, I do sensible audio only
;-)


: Likewise for people like Jute, Turner and, yes, even deWaal.
: They make (tube) amps, speakers, DACs, and turntables from various
: "nuts and bolts" that are lying around in their junk boxes.
: Some even go so far as to make their own chassis' and output
: transformers.
: Their products may lack the refinements of a new Ongaku or ARC, but
: they can honestly take credit for the finished product.


but surely, mr. Dwaal, you know that slef making gear creates a bias
that increases perceived fidelity - that's not fair play, eh ?



Fair play? Where in the RAO charter does it say that?
