Was Sonny Rollins - 1st LP - with Gromit in attendance
And darn fine it sounded too Jim.
A 'lightweight' 401 with a Decca, an amp in a wooden box and some crrrrrazy Lowther open-baffle speakers - I could get seriously converted. I just loved the front-row, totally-wired presentation.
Coming home to my rig, I'm seriously considering a system re-think...been chasing my tail for the last 12 months or so and it's doing my head in.
Oh...finally got home around 5.15pm - M25 was shut J27-26 so big tailbacks there, then the A14 was shut J21-23 (Brampton-Huntingdon - basically where the A1 crosses it) so all A14 traffic was funnelled down to and from the A428 at St Neots.
To make time up I nearly broke our poor little Peugeot 107.
Royds are back safely, Jim. Fired them up and they sound great - need to give the drivers a small de-gunk but other than that all working fine. I still prefer the Merlins in my room - they're slightly leaner but have more incision and are happier working nearer to the wall. Will see how things go - I'm in one of those sort of 'I really want to start all over again' moods at the moment so anything could happen!
