On a brief reading it appears to be the antithesis of what I have been involved in for the past 35yrs. If getting good exam results is its sole focus then there should be no surprise that it achieves them. A feeling of gratitude towards others is to be lauded, but if a feeling of being a member of an exclusive sector of our society is also promoted then I would have significant concerns. As for producing thoughtful, considerate, self directed and caring adults, we will have to wait and see. It does appear to be similar to the "boarding school" approach that has led to such wonderful leaders as Boris and Donald, who alongside their arrogance and sense of entitlement, show a blatant disregard to the more vulnerable in our society. My experience has been that most of what I "know" is the result of what I have learnt, rather than what someone has wanted to teach me. That is not to deny the great advantages of a broad and comprehensive curriculum throughout the school years which should provide a solid foundation for such learning to occur. Unfortunately we have reached a time when almost all learning is seen as vocational and if it doesn't result in a higher income then it has no merit. My question is - are they wanting to produce well rounded, free-thinking, independent, individuals who are wanting to make this world a better place for all, or are they wanting cogs that will fit into the economic machinery that profits mainly the minority, and are they that minority?

I work at a school where every child learns to play a recorder and a violin or cello for at least 3yrs from the age of 9. Each class in this age group have 1hr of "orchestra" time a week as well. From 11 to 15yrs of age they participate in organised sports and play in the local inter-school competitions. As they age the variety of physical activity increases - eg, surfing, rock climbing and croquet among other things, are offered. Maths and English are not options for children of this age and nor should musical and physical activities be choices. Gardening, cooking, tech (wood and metalwork) and handwork (knitting and sewing) are also compulsory subjects for a time. Just as we attempt to help the child who has difficulty with maths or reading, so we attempt to help those for whom any area of the curriculum is "not their thing". In some cases this is done well and in other cases not so well.

Two videos of the same dog, ball and room. 1st one at 8wks old, 2days after bringing her home. next one is today and she is now 6mths. The other dog is Buster an Aussie Cairn x 8yrs old.

Addie is 6mths old and has settled in beautifully. Buster is eagerly awaiting her 1st season.

Geoff also recommends to try them both ways to see if one way is better than the other. The arrows go in the direction of the signal which goes from source to amp.

A puppy is so good for an older dog. These two have been romping around together for 8weeks. https://youtu.be/lejHPnnmwpU

And here's one of her with her mate doing the washing-up

I hope you're ok Cliff. Some people haven't a clue. Or they"re just passing on the sh*t they've copped. Who knows? Just don't let it get to you. I used to have German Shepherds and everyone wanted to tell me where I could walk them off-lead. Now I have this and everyone wants to go goo gah over her.

I did this on my Living Voice OBX-RW's and I have carpet on boards as well, and there was a significant increase in sound quality. So then I got another 3 for my Lovan audio rack and there was another improvement, and I could move it too!

this looks great - well done! clean, simple and looks strong. i've been looking at ideas for shelves for a while now and really like this.

But Steve has also just bought a pair of S F Guarneri something or others too, so the Devialet are only one pair of the at least 3 pairs he owns.

ok - thanks. i just did the kernel upgrade and it took 10mins. cheers.

there was no 4.53 on the update list for me. i just checked and it says i am up to date. i have 4.54.

i just did the upgrade from 4.51 to 4.54 in 5mins. this isn't a big one.

it doesn't appear possible to use it on a cart that is mounted. is that correct?

i sent my DV TKR to andy kim about 6mths ago, as i purchased it 2nd hand about 7yrs ago and had always been unsure if the cantilever was straight. he checked it out and said the suspension needed repair but the tip was fine. happy with the work. not sure how to evaluate the cost side it.

ok, but the image file for 4.22 is still available for download from sotm on the same page you get 4.51

i only use MPD. why buy another when you can use the original card?

hi andrew, i too tried the update and despite using chrome and windows etc, had no success. so i popped the mSD card out of my ultra and did it that way. 2 days later i did the 4.51 update. i have had no issues at all. probably used 4.5 for 4 or 5hrs and 4.51 for a bit more. i have a copy of one of the early images so can go back to that if needed. on a different note i have been wondering for a while now how the snake-oil os would sound on the ultra. i have communicated with agent kith about it and he's concerned about sotm getting "cross" with him but i am tempted to try the ARM version anyway. csn't see how it would hurt.

i think they are both using the previous board. the review was written 07/2017. soren says the sound has not changed "much" but the new board allows more flexibility for "attachments". i have a dac made from the previous board and it is exceptional "in my system".

chris phillips at the audio workshop in rangiora has done some things for me. you can try contacting him via the facebook page for the workshop

but, interestingly, i have a 70w lfd amplifier which a reviewer stated was the "ideal" amplifier for these speakers and he loved the sound combination and bought the amp. others are also effusive in their praise of this combination. i don't have harbeth's so can't really comment from experience but with living voice speakers at high volumes the sound is stunning. a comparison of amps and what is heard would have been even more informative.

over 2000 pages and this is the 1st post for jackie leven, a favourite who has lain neglected by me since a splurge when he died. tonight i listened to -
