Boxing the compass....
Last night we* learnt a few things....
We learned that, if you are stranded in a desert and your GPS gadget is on
the fritz, you can determine Due North by pointing the hour hand of your
watch at the Sun and that bisecting the angle between it and the 12 o'clock
mark will point you Due South**. (Due North is 180 deg the other way....)
Make the necessary allowances for BST &c., naturally....
We also learnt that Firewood Horns do *not* like SS amps and that if you
wick a 120wpc SS amp up too high the drivers will go West - simultaneously,
instantly, irrevocably....
We also learnt that Firewood Horns sound amazing on valves and SETs in
particular, but sound like poo on SS amps***....
(We also learnt that the halfway mark on a 4 wpc SET is as loud as the
halfway mark on a 120 wpc SS amp, but let's not go there... ;-)
* That's me and one other who posts here - not 'we' as in some sad act
desperately trying to engender/imply support for his own crackpot
theories/opinions....
** If it's an English Desert (East Essex, for example) and there is no Sun,
then you are ****t...
***Said it a couple of million times now - if it's horns it's valves, if
it's valves it's horns, or simply don't bother and SETs is best (by far)...
;-)
