Alec, very impressive!! I've had the Clavinova series sitting around, now I'm going to have to listen to them because I really liked the Irish style, too. I just clicked on the demo link and it played on the Media Player and through my stereo speakers. I'm going to have to reread the part about exchanging drum sounds note for note - sounds very interesting. Now, when can we expect more of the same???

Good Job Alec. Thanks for sharing with us.
I really like the other songs on Walt's site that you did, too.
The work that you do here on this forum is really appreciated by all. Thank you so much for the time and wisdom that you share here.
Best to you

Thanks again, everyone,

yes, Pete, the markup over here for such stuff is depressing. If you like risks, do what I do and get it direct from the States, there are worthwhile savings to be made, even if you have to pay the duty (need to check everything out carefully by email first naturally). You can get a usb 4x4x6 for £150 or cheaper here quite easily, but I really would get something with buffer under-run technology - it is worth it in the long run.

Wow! Bill, you still have a pair of Leak Sandwitch? Didn't they have the aluminium cones? They must be worth real money now in Japan to an enthusiast...
I still have my Spendors but won't risk them with the keyboard, the Kef References just won't blow up whatever you throw at them

Bud, that was the best style on the entire piano!

Thanks, Bebop, and to you too.

I have the Leak Stereo Point One valve amp.
to go with the speakers!!!! (The Point One was the distortion figure.) I sold a lot of the Sandwich Speakers at £39 EACH. (Mono days).
Happy Days. Walter

That's incredible, Walter
still working and with original valves?
Wow! the precursor to the legendary Quad II?

Before my time, I'm afraid, but I've read about it all, from the original Williamson amplifier?? in Wireless World?? in the 40s?

The Quad was then the first to 0.01 distortion amp?

They still market a valve Quad today, have you seen the prices?.... Whew!!!!

Thanks

brilliant very profesional really enjoyed it base was great

Worked the last time I had it switched on!! Can't remember about the valves. Sits beside my Rogers cadet 3! Amp!! Gave away my Quad, funny, never liked it. Just given away a pair of B&W, Sony badged, electrostatic speakers, showing their age. Still have a B&O
4000 Receiver, and a lovely designed B&O Cassette Deck. Could go on!!!!! Walter.

Hi Folks, Just returned from a few of days in SUNNY Scotland. Great to see that the Forum is still very busy - it's going to take me most of the evening to catch up on the 'Goings On'
Yes Alec, the Leak Sandwich speakers have the central aluminium cone and a separate tweeter at the top of the cabinet. They still produce a great sound - despite my remarks about looking for someone to re-cone them after playing your composition! I was joking Walter ! but thanks for your concern and the contact for new cones!

Thanks Malcolm.

And a little bit of hi-fi history from Bill and Walter

"dem cones, dem cones, dem dry cones..."

OH, HEAR THE WORD OF THE BARD!!!!
