Dave,
I'm in Pompey and up for a trip across to Hayling. My ears are probably
past their prime, and I don't do much serious listening nowadays, but
I'm up for a challenge. I have transporter myself, coupled to some old
Linn kit. Send me a PM and we can maybe sort out a time for the test.
Perhaps I'll catch someone in the South of England tonight who's
interested in the interaction between a Transporter & a DAC...
Dave :)

I wondered if anyone has clocked that I hail from Birmingham originally:
in fact I'm a native Balsall Heathern! Family decamped to Solihull when
I was 4. Richard Hammond went to one of my early schools (after me). So
I can't really help being a petrol-head.
I got away to University at age 19,

I had a 95 miata (the maroon special edition that year). Fantastic
little car. After a decade of driving it I sold it to my brother who
still drives it. It gave me all the pleasures of the sports cars I
drove in my youth, without any of the headaches (67 MGB, 71 MG Midget).
But I have to say, I

Great car, and also illustrates the difference between subjective and
objective preference. I have a Morgan. I would be the first to admit
that the MX-5 is objectively better in pretty much every way, and
cheaper.

While I'm getting up the bottle to re-visit my long neglected soldering
skills, I thought I'd chuck a couple of musings in.
To be honest I still find the ability of modern electronics to turn a
collection of discrete 0's & 1's into a convincing complex analogue
musical system to be a

Cafes or coffee shops? :)
There are some great jazz cafes - and great venues such as Paradiso (an
old church, and way too small for major acts, but
I've always harboured a secret desire to visit Amsterdam. I've been told
that the music in the cafes sounds amazing... :cool:

Perhaps that was uncalled for, my apologies.
