Open heart surgery on the power amp! A ridiculously customised BGW750F.

The cooling fan didn’t start back up after the 30 hour power cut that gave us so it needed replacing.

Whenever I open this beast I’m in awe. It’s a beautiful piece of obsessive audio engineering.

In New Zealand they’re in the middle of an upgrade project for this amp. We’ll get new amp modules to drop in to this chassis at some point. Hard to imagine it can sound better. We’ll find out in due course.

Honoured and full of gratitude to receive three IRAA awards - two for Gethin and one for Donal.

It was amazing to also participate in the jury process (while obviously stepping out for any category where we were nominated).

Best of all was spending an evening with so many of our dear friends in this remarkable community of talented and creative people ❤️❤️
