There&#8217;s plenty I want to work on and we always fall on the same trap: there&#8217;s not enough time. I&#8217;ve been very much involved on music and synthesisers. That&#8217;s where all my free time and design\/build effort has gone into over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">However, I have some RIAA project, 845\/211\/GM70 amp, second turntable and probably an RL12P35 Amp I want to get working on, hopefully all soon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In the meantime, a lot of people are writing to me for advice. I sometimes get frustrated as people seem to try a shortcut and not do any homework before they ask for help. When I&#8217;m short of time, this kind of frustrates me. Anyhow, there is a big up tick on building a lot of my designs which is very rewarding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bartola.co.uk\/valves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1840.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"559\" data-attachment-id=\"11702\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.bartola.co.uk\/valves\/2024\/03\/22\/im-back\/img_1840-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bartola.co.uk\/valves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1840.jpeg?fit=1280%2C853&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1280,853\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_1840\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bartola.co.uk\/valves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1840.jpeg?fit=840%2C559&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bartola.co.uk\/valves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1840.jpeg?resize=840%2C559&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bartola.co.uk\/valves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1840.jpeg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bartola.co.uk\/valves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1840.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bartola.co.uk\/valves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1840.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bartola.co.uk\/valves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1840.jpeg?resize=1200%2C800&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bartola.co.uk\/valves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1840.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The lovely look of the 46 drivers into 814s which I won&#8217;t forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Thank you for holding on out there.
