Kingsood was a big part of his life, and he talked in awe about the brains within the place.

Back on topic
Quad used to demonstate their kit with mains cable, and would laugh at anyobe who queried this.
Would quite like a quad pre/power setup,as this was the stuff when I was young, but my old kit is fine for me..

Ls5/9 were the other ones he mentioned worth having..

£3k you say..
Hmm – could buy a bike for that..

Tempted to send the busted ones off to Stirling to get fixed..
Cheers for the info
J.

The blown pair were given back to my dad about a year ago, and I did a little digging to find that indeed these and the original I have were worth a bit.
I suggested the idea of fixing the blown ones, but the comment was he had no way of tweaking the crossovers so was not worth his while ?? Perfectionist you see..

My Dad was at Kingswood for c. 30 years after starting in service planning, and passed the originals onto me after he bought a pair of Ls7t from whoever it was who set up Rogers .

I went around Kingswood loads as a kid – very cool place.

I am not technical, but if you have any questions I can pass them onto my old man.

Cheers

Check the back panel of your LS3/5a – are they screwed on – do they look like the pictues just below the

The Kingswood Warren LS3/5As.

Yep my ones are the real deals, before they were licensed.
Cases were hand built by the kingswood cabinet maker, in return for dads collegaues building the cabinet maker a set.
My dad handwound the coils and then matched them in the anachoic chamber – not sure it gets better than that. 🙂
Only mod is that XLR connectors been fitted.

We have another pair in the loft ( licensed ones ), with blown woofers..

Will not be selling them. Just turning volume down a little..

I also use LS3/5as, which were actually BBC grade 2 monitors designed for monitoring in a outside broadcast van, although mine are upgraded with more-lossy cabinets and external crossovers which bring them closer to grade 1.

Listening to mine as we speak, and Led Zep as it happens.
Built by my Dad when he worked at R & D department of the BBC at Kingswood.
Top job..

Have a looka at this site

Very good value for money
I like this one
Smiths Everest PRS-25

Makes no difference what you use. Expensive cabling is a huge waste of money.
Talk to anyone in the profession, who does not have a vested interest in selling expensive cables.
Most of the high end audio setups I have seen demonstated use mains cable.

Campag would be my vote – no question.
Just find a proper road bike shop and have a fiddle.
Campag road bike in Brighton here if you are any way local..

Singualr peregrine gets my vote.
Built super tough..
Option to run an internal hub gear as well..

Biff of outcast fame is to blame I believe
http://www.yesweareontheweb.com/
I am not allowed to wear my t shirt in public.

Search – similar question few days ago.
I have a benbo.
Redsnapper get good reviews.

Can my g/friend have a guess
£33.48

Hmm – think there is a message in there for me somewhere in that guess

Buy a second hand white ind.
Timbur was selling one on the classifieds.
Lubberly..
J.

Tricky.
£175 is my vote..

http://www.timefactors.com/

Try this
Nexus seems to be listed

Came from a groupon deal
Very happy with it.

Prs53…

Nice and a bit different

Yep try a few on.
It is has to be new then I would say something ike an omega railmaster.
You may have to search in your budget for one of those.

Oil price is the same, it is just delivery you are paying for.
Move next to a refinery if you want the cheapest price..
J.

then a cheaper and possibly more elegant solution would be a face plate that clamps to the handlebars so that when it’s removed it retains it’s relative position.

Or just stratch a mark on both to line up..

Where do you live ?
I might suggest hooking up with a local builder with too much work to handle.
A lad I know has just set up in business building frames.

Funny that – mates parents used to have a holiday cottage at top of hill in Tan y Griseau. Cool palce – if a bit rough..

OK. I really liked the Everest base camp hike – you share the Khumbu highway with loads of Nepalis and Tibetans moving up and down the valley as well as other trekkers. I drank chang, played carnac badly, admired lovely young sherpa ladies washing their hair in the cold morning air, muttered prayers, ate apple pies, drank tea and beer, turned prayer wheels, bought a yak jumper to keep out the terrible cold, raced our guides up and down the trails (and always lost) – I never felt the urge to climb anything – the mountains are too blinking tall!

I have half a mind to retire to Namche Bazaar and set up a brewery I liked it so much. I wouldn’t miss the chance to walk under Ama Dablam and Nupste and take a look at Chomolungma and into the eyes of a truly stout and deeply devout people.

Good memories here too.
Will take the missus there soon..

Has anyone been, and can anyone recommend any sites/ resources/ guides to use for planning? Or care to share any experiences to get the creative juices flowing?

I had to ‘borrow’ the Nepal lonely planet guide from my local library to take with me, as I could not find a copy to buy. We did pay the fine..

That would be my start for you, a more recent copy though.

I went there in 1997 before the uprising.
For a few months though.
Guess you could fly into Lukla.
Alltitude would be the killer for you, quite literally in some cases.

He was co-ordinating the rescue from the life raft…..

Is he coming to Brighton.
Almost guaranteed he will be selling the other book I would have thought..

START EARLY !!
Finishes about 5 minutes walk from me in Brighton – pop in have a beer..

I went to America to work, and in the months before I went then I kept singing to anyone that would listen.

Plan to go to America when I get a visa card,
Getting a visa card nowadays isn’t hard.

Name that song
Was a few years ago..

Having problems with Xmas Jelly beans out of a special dispenser as we speak.
The variety and surprise is too much for me.

I am tempted to shout Oye in a loud voice if I think I am going to get bit.
Sometimes works and dog does double take..

Loved the wire.
Got the shield for Xmas – we will see..

Sounds well out of order when i consider how my expenses work.
WHo the hell would hold onto a boarding pass ???

Yep definately surrey hills.
I live Brighton way, but may be tempted out as a guide if needed.
Guide is useful if you do not know the area.

I am still loving my hemlock.
Will be looking out for these new frames..

On a similar note then I am still waiting for this book to come to the UK
