Spotted you were havingthe 100amp mains fuse upgrade done. Any chance you can tell me how long it took to do the job, how long your leccy was off for etc? Just I'm having mine done tomorrow and the lady at nPower couldn't answer any of that!
Oh and most importantly what difference it made.
Cheers

I know what's coming.
Oldie will be asking "how do I reset the clock on the video recorder?".
Oh....and that's another 3 months to get the system warmed up again.

Rich,
just ignore that young upstart Rasher, I know how to program the video, fortunatly the local School had just finished for the day, so I just grabbed a seven year old as they went past, and they did it for me in seconds.
THE Local Electicity Boards Contractor McNicols did the job and in all honesty and at the risk of feeding more ammo to Rasher it took them less time to complete the job that It took me to work out which was the power suppy and which was the amps so to switch them of in the correct order.I suppose 15/20 miniutes at the very most, mind you they did say that mine was a very easy one to do, I would suggest that you make sure that they have a clear area to work in as it makes the job so much easer. It certainly took me longer to clear out the under stairs cupboard where the main fuse is than it took them to do the job.
It's a upgrade that is definatly the equivalent to three new black boxes
a well chuffed, in this case,
oldie.
I will post regarding the improvements If my old ears can sort out the wheat from the chaff

Mick, I can't see any disavantage at all ,as long as your house circuits are protected by the correctly rated, Heyyyyyyyy, just a miniute,Parry Iv'e seen through your game, you are trying to get me to mention the F WordSo I'll get banned you shouldn't have any problems , it just allows more amps through when needed Transient peaks and all that stuff or just being able to see when someone takes a shower.If you are unduly worried (1) THE Local Electricity Board would not fit 100 AMP Fu [ OP'sss nearly done it again]if there was any danger to Person or Property.
(2)I would have thought that the only danger was haveing a overloaded 60 amp that might overheat before blowing with the however remote the possibilty of causing a fire.
(3) I'm sure someone in our midst will post chapter and verse why you should/shouldn't
The only disavantage I can find ,was having to wait in untill the Sparkys arrived[ on time]

Hi Rich,
Bl--dy hell ,that was quick, as I said it takes more time to clear out the area than for the Sparkys to do the job, I haven't had a listening session yet ,I thought I would let things settle down first,no I'm lieing I spent most of the time on this Bl--dy computer answering posts on another thread. But today I hope to spend a bit of quality time in my listening room, the only problem I have though,is I have done the unforgivable and had two tweeks done without a proper and subjective session between , I have now ,after hearing Rashers set up copied him and stood my SBL'S ON 22MM Slate slabs mounted on 3xheads and 5mm balls instead of just the 4x heads. So I will not be able to make a completly subjective assesment. I'm going to have to wait until Rasher and another Friend,Tony comes round for another evening of ,well you know what, to hopfully get a really subjective view on things
But I'M pleased that things have worked out well for you.
PS I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT A Naim'ee would have had no problem with lieing, stretching the truth etc, phrases immediatly come to mind such as :- "Yes of course it's worth it" , "Well the up grade will only be a few quid more" , "I'll be down /out in a minute to help I just want to hear the end of this track", "Of course I can hear the differance ,can't you".
Ohhhhhhhhhh the list is endless
Come on Mick, it's your turn next! and of course the fact that it's FREE should help you make your mind up

Graham,
Athough I havn't yet been to the new libary yet,I'm sure that if the rest of Brighton is anything to go by, there will be dolphins all over the plaice Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh sorry.
The only trouble is though, they don't seem to move much,I supose it's because they are made of cast iron.May be it's taking the other thread to it's logical conclusion ,if all the greedy sod's that have promoted the grab every thing you can policy carry on the way they have over the past few years , Cast Iron Dolphinsis all we'll have left.
