    but he will have to provide test certificates after the work is complete to prove it is safe.

    His dad is good at rewiring, although not certified etc. Some of the jobs he has done on his own property in France are perfectly serviceable. He is confident it will be safe.

    Just because a light goes on and off it does not mean a instalation is safe

    tbh he may well appear to be good but, wiring kit in and knowing what to use are two differant things for example

    How is the house earthed is it TT,PMS or PME whichever system it is dictates wether or not a earth spike is required because the shed is outside the earth protected bonding zone according to BS7671 (17th edition wiring regs)

    I am not trying to be a smart arse but I am trying to make you aware

    if they are additional to the presant circuit or new face plates no

    if you have fitted a new circuit from your consumer unit yes

    if the amplifier has a 'sound' it is broken

    depends on what class the output is.
    Class A low efficientcy but superb output characturistics (arse spelling ) with low/no crossover distortion
    Class B not so good output due to crossover distortion

    class A/B somewhere in between

    therefore amps do have a sound

    My valve amp has a sound which is smooth and easy, yet some amps appear to throw sound at you

    a transformer gives a ac output unless it is rectified if I am not mistaken.

    what local voltage regulation are you talking about, the regulated circuits within the amps?

    What gets me is when I used to go to the bristol hifi show all the expensive kit sounded er poor except for the odd system / company room.

    With the ammount of wonga some companys wanted for there kit it should of sounded fantastic anywhere without petty excuses about the shape of the rooms etc

    are you talking about the quiecent current at the star point of a diletham based crystal connected to a rearward facing foofoo flange via a bridge rectifier with an inductive load attached

    please confirm

    Amplifiers are VERY sensitive to the setup, including the voltages that the internal circuits run at. Most amplifiers do benefit from a service every 10 or so years, depending on how much of a perfectionist you are.

    The differences are measurable with an oscilloscope

    sorry what are you on about service please explaine a amplifier has no moving parts bar the pot used for the volume control if is a solid state amp. As for the voltages for the circuits does that not depend on the input voltages that the instalation recieves from the grid which can swing by as much as about 25v ac.

    As for the results being measurable by a ocilloscope yes maybe can I hear the differance well?

    Ok I replace my valves once every 5 years but valve amps are a bit differant

    Get shot of the wife for the evening have a few beers and relax with your favorite music

    Or in my case Pink Floyd with brandy and coke

    btw vinyl does sound better but do not mix with beer cos you bugger up your lp's (voice of experiance)

    its ok not a bad bike but I just prefer the hard tail it just makes me grin alot more

    I like the simple (and I want to keep the s/s)and I use it more than my full sus.

    I had a inbred before the simple and yes the simple rides a bit better than the inbred but not a light and day thing if you know what I mean.

    Im free…. will be at lydeard Hill Car park (Taunton side of the quantocks) at 10 am on Saturday morning. Should be 7 of us at the moment so your all welcome to join us.
    Otherwise about 10.30/10.45 at Crowcombe Park Gate.

    I was alot more robust in the 90's and I still have the bike I raced on, It is a steel rigid S/works and it is a thing of real beauty

    It climbs realy well those bar ends just work

    But It shakes the crap out of me and the cantis just do not work when you have the death grip on the bars.

    Sorry but they are bikes of the past( still love it though) and at 47 I appreciate my front suspension and discs as for gears well just to contredict things I love riding my s/s simple

    I have a gaggia classic to, I tried the £60 gaggia burr grinder which was noisy as hell and created alot of static so the coffee grinds went everywhere. It was pants so I got shot of it.

    Now I have a Rancillo Rocky and I am well chuffed
