Sorry you have moved on, but I understand. You have been a valuable contributor here for years.Hey Tom, thanks for the thoughts, apologies for not answering your pm.
I am all good and well, just somehow moved on to other things.
Up untill a couple years ago there was really nothing new going on in my life and because of that i ended up spending a lot of time thinking about leather jackets, they became an important part of my life and i spent far too many hours thinking about them and posting about them on TFL...
Brexit hapened, covid happened, i left London, had to start again in Belgium after 15 years in the UK.
I switched from being mostly a live musician to opening a recording studio, and that has basically replaced leather jackets as the thing that my mind is constantly obsessing about...
Nowadays i wake up thinking about microphones and preamps and new techniques to experiment with, rather than hides and patterns!
That, plus the fact that TFL was changing into something that i couldn't really relate to made me stop coming here on a daily basis...
I still check in sometimes, i still love leather jackets, but i don't think i have it in me to keep on posting about them...
I do miss TFL, but unfortunately i don't think the TFL i miss still exists.
Met him on a London meet up ..great guy & very knowledgeable
I’ve tried to post some more technical stuff about recordings here but there usually isn’t much interest; even three of us would be a critical mass.
Audio conversations can get pretty volatile though. Once someone starts telling me how his rare earth metal $50,000 interconnects took his sound to the next level I tend to tune out, lol.Maybe we should try organising one this year... what do you guys think?
That would be great! An audio conversation would fit in this forum.
I would love that personally

Certainly more superstition than what some people put into shinki these days...
These days but probably not peak TFL Shinki era.
I think one of the most interesting things in every hobby is the item that is pretty much respected by all enthusiasts in it (with a minority that builds their identity on hating it), despite not being the most expensive. And usually the guys who have the most expensive stuff have one themselves.
The Technics SL-1200 in turntables, the Omega Speedmaster Professional in watches, the Schott Perfecto in leather jackets, for cars it is probably the VW GTI or Mazda Miata, etc.
Think ELC are doing the pop up again in Shoreditch this yearMaybe we should try organising one this year... what do you guys think?

Not for a while now due to Covid, I’ll need to ask themNothing on their website yet, but I think they do it every year?

BTW, if you run across any late 50s/early 60s PAF Humbucking pickups, please let me know. I would like to have two of them for a project I'm contemplating.
