I'm inclined to agree with you, but not absolutely sure. Have you
examined the work of your countryman, Macolm Hawksford?

Yup - he's a *seriously* mad Professor! :-)

Shame on you! He wears a very natty line in hats! :-)

Anyway, being 'eccentric' is a primary requirement for a professorship.
This is the one condition I've satisfied for ages... ;-

Ah, can I assume you're at St Andrews, rather than the Dundonian

Yes, St Andrews. Does that set the seal on my eccentricity? :-)

Slainte,

Jim

What do you mean by that? The listener decides when they are happy

correct. It's certainly possible for the listener to record a 'no
difference', but I've never had one do that (out of a dozen or so). We
audiophiles like to think that we can *always* hear a difference! :-)

If you think thatscience has proved that virtually all amps are the
same (under your normal qualifications) why would you choose one over
the other? And, if you did, how would you score it?

incitement to hatred, suicide, slandering, insults, murder is the real
guilty of Mr.Wheeler's grievances.)
