Re: What music are you listening to currently?

"The second photo is specifically for Brutus. Who would have known of the connection."

Re: CDs for sale

Most of for sale CDs now gone to my local record store (and it is a pain to see how much value they have lost these days...).
The few ones in the list are still available.

Re: Power distributor block / extension lead

Looks impressive. All my power cables are UK, and I was always thinking to get rid of them, and replace with Schuko version. Only to run UK power cable from the wall socket to Schuko power distributor block, and then use Schuko cables to each device. Schuko plugs do not have a fuses like UK plugs. ...

Re: Power distributor block / extension lead

years ago I decided to go for the DIY route and made a couple of extension leads with solid core wires and star connections. I simply used good quality industrial components.
