Electric set up advice

1, Flaky tray would think you get one fabricated at any nb shell builders 

2. I have both a pair of cheviots the 19" inch dual concentrics but the NAD runs into 2 Fusions, space issue, the Cheviots would need a 70 footer.

Please don’t tell us that you use gold plated connectors and oxygen free copper to cable them up.

Made Noel Lee an awful lot of money. Plenty of mugs out there with more money than sense.

No I don't that is audio atavism , you listen to the equipment not the music anyway with age of my ears I cannot here whole ranges of frequencies. Oxygen free won't help.

My NADs were connected to a 19" woofer. But my mrs told me to stop exaggerating.

Did they ever do Marine grade cabling?  That's the same cable with a boat on the packet and an extra digit on the pricetag.

They’d also have taken out several full page ads in waterways mags full of pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo explaining how they’ll improve the efficiency of your batteries tenfold.

with a 19" woofer you would not hear the LF but feel it lucky Mrs

Don't let your NADs get near your DINP or it might start leaching.

I always sheild my NADS in PVC containing Diisononyl phthalate.

Any copper cable is 99.9% oxygen free anyway. That 0.09% difference is nowt but marketing hype. No-one ever heard any difference because there’s no difference to hear. 

[Errant Ewart]

Agreed, oversold, overpriced  over heard

Nonsense.  You hear "cha-ching!" from the bloke in the shop.

Back too many years ago I had a mate who couldn't spend enough on hi-fi gear, who got all these type of goodies.

Then he demonstrated how cool these newfangled MP3s were ...

I would use Diisodecyl phthalate as it has one more carbon atom which is a benefit in the great scheme of  things as that is one molecule of Co2 less in the atmosphere.

Then he would have heard that valve amps have a nice warm sound no doubt due to their heaters

Funny that. I have a pair of Cheviots too!

ANd a pair of Chatsworths with 12" Monitor Golds. And a pair of Devons. 

And several pairs of them newer and less well regarded pentagonal ones. 

I LIKE Tannoys!

Well obviously, that is what i meant. Who would use Diisodecyl. Its so 1980's

I assume you don't need a very large sheath if it's only one molecule ...

Actually I have a very nice valve mic amp and it has absolutely the sweetest sound of any mic amp I’ve used. 

[TheBiscuits]

My old chemistry teacher once went into Dixons to buy a new stereo, and the PFY was waxing lyrical about all the features they could offer her.

PFY: ... and this one has a Graphic Equaliser!

Her: So what does that do then?

PFY: Erm ... it equalises your graphics.

Her: Goodbye!

Valve amps are fine, but their characteristics are very similar to MOSFETS and in a blind test you really could not tell the difference, any active device adds noise it depends on what you can live with , now is your amp a class A or AB or oh well . Now a lot are digital  different ball game. The valve amp scenario is probably best expressed in the download v CD v vinyl argument

The mic amp in question is class A. All of the power amps I currently use are class AB as they are quite good enough and I have no desire to run room heaters to power speakers

Valve characteristics are nothing like those of MOSFETS although I accept that these days you can design a pre-amp to sound like just about anything.
