The postal insurance thing (signed for) is not so much to ensure the item reaches the destination it's more a case of confirmation that it has! I used to send things standard mail and, surprise surprise, there were several instances where the customer claimed not to have received them...... erm........ not so with "signed for" post as there is a record the customer has actually received the item. If everybody was honest and upfront 99.9% of the mail would be confirmed as received without the need for it to be signed for.
 
Think about it...... send a £100 item by standard mail, it arrives, the recipient claims it hasn't arrived.... send another £100 item to him... he now has 2 x £100 items...... postal insurance saves a lot of headaches for both the sender and recipient.

"Now there is a tempting morsel - enquiring minds will want to know more  Geek"

Ongoing investigation into just why components bereft of alleged hazardous substances (like we all have in many items around the home...) just don't sound the same, and how equipment can be made to sound better using these than it could using the "hazardous" ones now banned under EU RoHS (an ongoing situation I forecast would happen).

Previously circuits perilously close to instability would survive as shown by the number of iffy products people have bought and the praise given to them by both press and forum members...Shocked

Not so now!

Some may remember my costing for the Reflex design at £105,000. This was based on £50 an hour. What I actually got paid was closer to £8 per hour working the clock round, but it just goes to show the difficulties involved in getting a design to function properly.

The Spice simulator was installed this year to speed up development but so far has led to several "by-roads" of exploration which could lead to further performance enhancements...

TG, I second your motion. Plain daylight highway robbery. And it's global.
 
Graham - about bloody time. I know you are overworked and underfed, no news, but I seriously think you should have done this a long time ago. Mostly because I tried several prototypes I have hanging around with your amps, and they showed promising results.
 
Especially the shunt editions ... (hint, hint!)
 
Anyway, better late than never, as the saying goes. I wish you much luck with it, Graham, and will lay down good money it will only improve your products and image.

Terry Gilliam has done many a film on the subject ranging from the comically suggestive to the no holds barred "Brazil".

The unfortunate thing is that because of anarchy laws we cannot do a darned thing about it!

Otherwise we would?

I doubt it Wink
