drove to York
Went for a nice long walk around Topsham and tested out my bargain ÂŁ17.50 second hand new looking Fit bit HR - Then I replaced the charging port on my iPhone 5s as it was failing to charge without facing with the lead - As expected this was a lot more difficult than the utube vids suggested so it took me an hour plus but all is OK now and it pings properly when the charge lead is inserted.

Surprised. I put some test tones through my system and was pretty shocked that my near on 50 year old Monitor Golds still go up to 20khz. The real surprise was that I can hear a 20khz tone. Iâm 55 in August.

You have audiophile ears 
Are you sure that what you heard wasnât your MGs only going up to 10khz and thatâs where your ears really go up to!
20khz at your age, thatâs impressive - how loud did you have to play the test tone!
I still laugh at @Wayward not hearing a 10kHz tone.
We should change his title to âdoesnât need tweetersâ. Especially as he has quite expensive ones!

Very sure. I ran the same test tones a few months ago and was gutted as I could only hear the tone come in at 12 khz. Despite the speakers sounding really great, I was on the point of splashing the cash on something else as it had really got under my skin.
Anyhow it turns out my old dac must have been the culprit. With my new dac the old MGs are 100% fine. What a relief. Saved myself thousands, literally, by double checking on a friendâs advice.
Surprisingly modest volume
Probably intermodulation at 10k 
They are wasted on me in a five way for sure. 
They cover just one octave, and you canât hear that one

Another interview. Seemed like a nice guy and an interesting project. And a truly optimal commute (in London terms at least).
Got past round 1 with yesterdayâs interview, so now itâs the âtake home coding challengeâ. That in itself doesnât look like too much of a challenge, but the attitude displayed so far by the prospective employer is a bit of a red flag.
Narelleâs seen an osteopath and has more movement.
Weâve just got to decide if it/she can take the drive up to Spalding tomorrow

Recovering from tripping at the top of our stairs (while carrying a small amp) & headbutting wall hard.
Amp was fine, neck & forehead less so.
