A370

Well I'm getting the MF because the KEL is getting used all day every day up here with a sky+ box feeding it,radio during the day,and tv at night.I think it's a bit of a waste of a good valve amp,so I was going to get a Jungson Chinese sand jobbie with a claimed 80w class a(loads of good things said...

We were opening and closing an isolator on a 275kV sub yesterday,just to get a good arc.Must've been a good 3-4 feet,and the noise was unbelievable.Good fun :shock: Just back from seeing Snow Patrol at the Glasgow SECC.We were right at front centre.What a great gig! Sore feet now.Must be getting old.
