But you didn't paint one of the torroids blue to keep the colour scheme?

Slept badly for an hour, 4 hours in the library, meeting with lecturer, 2 hour seminar, come home, find out that the mighty and awesome Sir Clement Freud has died. Puts the shit on a piss day.

I've got a whole load of these, but very few translate well as single panels for western readers.

Thou hast employed grammar in the indicative toward the A-10 not being meritous of the catagorical nomenclature of "high end pre-amp". One has hesitancy in allowing inductive confirmation of the conclusion from presumption that thou hadst not such end aim within thine articulations.

Oh theres several ones better, and even more of the same level. Hendricks is too obviously cucumber dominated to be a standard gin imho.

How much is an ES-1 new, base model?

It should always be done. Whats the point of warm gin? Or vodka for that matter, if you're a vodka drinker. Frozen gin means that you aren't warming up that tonic water you've gone to the bother of refridgerating and in fact lowers the overall tempreture of the drink. I don't bother freezing the glass because that leads to frost and frozen fingertips. Ice is the worst enemy of a good gin and tonic no matter what the proles do or what sniffy barmen say. Its used because most people don't keep the ingredients cold and they need to cool the drink with the ice. So the ice melts, waters down the drink and pretty near instantly kills all of the fizz out of the tonic. Adding lemon, lime or cucumber slices or having a bad glass does that too, but not nearly as fast. As for rubbing the lime slice round the rim of the glass, thats only done to disguise the taste in bars where the tonic water comes out of a gun and is so piss poor that it might as well be soda with saccarine in it.

The entire premise is a bad joke. Theres one or two funny bits, mainly the Blade Runner parodies but even those are weak. Its set on modern day earth, not in the proper red dwarf universe, the jokes are thin and predictable, the production is massively cheap (hence the 21st century britain setting) and the whole thing just seems forced. More fun was the reruns of some of the best episodes that followed the new ones. I hadn't seen Quarantine in years.

Back to earth was crap. Its the "Mostly Harmless" of Red Dwarf. I'd recommend never ever watching it.

Just mix it with a good tonic water like Fever Tree 50/50 and add a slice of cucumber. Keep the gin and the tonic as cold as possible so you don't have to resort to ice. It also makes for a good dry negroni (use dry vermouth instead of rosso).

One of the lecturers in my department is going to love that I suspect.

Both sets of RCA outs? I'm assuming that since youve got the 99pre you weren't using the variable outs?

Fleetwood Mac - Songbird? dpends on what sort of dance you want to have, which you haven't specified.

When my computer gets sluggish all over, its time for a fresh windows install. Usually once a year these days. Doesn't matter how clean you keep the registry, how well defragmented the hard drive, how sensible the ram and pagefile (even on slow hard drives) Windows inevitably just slips into a lethargic old age.

How does one ascertain that it isn't the SR-007BL from that picture?

Thinking about it. If the control advantage of the buslink to the 909 is simply being able to turn it off (because the variable outs from the CDP-2 or the 99-Pre apply for either the Quadlink or the RCA outs) then I wouldn't connect it at all. I'd just leave the amp on 24/7.

-> Quad themselves believe in the superiority of the Quadlink bus, but the fact that it originated in the system developed by the company after Peter Walker was gone should ring a little warning bell.

I am sure that I read somewhere (I've read a multitude of stuff on this gear range, I've been glassey eyed for it for years now) that simultanious connection of the Quadlink and the RCA to the 909 results in trumps for the RCA. I'll try to source that.

Is there not the option of using both connectors such that the audio signal utilises the RCA connectors and the system control integration remains active?

Never heard of the chap. It shouldn't be difficult to make one though, if the D-Sub connectors are a stock part. The single ended-balanced process I referred to is the internal one behind the quadlink connector, rather than the way your rig was set up. Poor phase splitters or something.

Quadlink is a balanced interconnect so my assumption at peoples complaints about it stem from a crappy single-ended -> balanced -> single ended process.
