Re: RIP Pat Ingoldsby

He was an unsung hero to many. I loved his sense of humour. He had great patience with anyone wanting to chat, probably with the premise of selling his latest and not so latest works. I’m the proud owner of some of those books. I remember he was pitched for a couple of weeks very close to where I wo...

Insulating the inside of a house is more prone to cold bridging than...

Re: Who knows what about thermal wrapping on houses?

Two neighbours had it done using Churchfield, both said they were excellent although on the high side of the quote. One had the whole enchilada including heat pump, the other attic insulated and wrapped.

Re: Audio Lab CDTransport

Just collected the transport off of Alan. Good to see him again after many years.
He still has a really nice setup and the only pair of A.R.T. speakers I’ve ever heard.

Re: What's the most overrated/disappointing gear you bought?

My mistake was a pair of B&W DM610 speakers bought new. Great if you wanted balls-out-rock all-night-long, but about as much finesse as a house brick. Female vocals were kept in each respective speaker. Dynamics were on or off. Never got them to work better than I described regardless of amplifi...
