Just stick an elastoplast over the top.

It will look classy enough…


Jim, that looks amazing, what a incredible job @coco has done on yours and Dave’s phono stages. I am genuinely excited to hear your system next week :+1:

After a while of custom making things for people, you’ll realise that pretty much everyone is a tasteless cunt and not only that, if you do everything they ask, they’ll make you look like a cunt too. IME, developing communication skills so you can tell them not to be so fucking stupid but in language that will not ruin your relationship takes as long as it does to learn the technical side of what you are actually doing. :+1:

I’ve found the more you suggest to a customer they should go to your competitor with their requests the more they won’t leave you alone. Turning business away consistently because you are too busy seems to also generate desire. French waiters are trained in such dark arts.

I have stumbled into these truths by A) being bone idle B) knowing that their custom will not change my life.

With the brand new Hana SL, loan of a Dr. F (just to confirm the measurements quoted by Sony were working)…

And this

My charity shop finds are sounding incredible. A rinse in the sink with soap, and couple of spins on the RCM is working wonders!
