Am I a genius or am I a genius?

About 2 months ago my hifi amp (an arcam alpha 10 intergrated amp) went on the blink and i put it in for repairs expecting it to take a week or so.

 

2 months later ive still got no amp and therefore ive had to use the normal tv speakers i order to get sound. and to be honest my tv is a bit SHITE when it comes to sound reproduction. this has meant that my celestion a3 speakers and the arcam alpha 10p power amp have sitting doing bugger all for 2 months.

 

So tonight i had an idea - could i connect my pc to an old 4 track porta studio ive got, using it as a pre amp and then connect the 4 track to the power amp?

 

i have and it does and i'm fecking kicking myself for not thinking of this earlier :(

 

 

The neighbours will no doubt be cursing as it been 2 months of peace and quiet for them. :unsure:

10 pence for an amp?

 

I'll have me some of that!

 

i wish - the 10p cost me £600 and the 10 cost £800 from sevenoaks!

 

You can get them both for around £300 each now on ebay, fantastic kit like.

This morning I had the ingenious idea of attaching some milk to the cornflakes and hooking the whole lot up to a bowl.

 

Spoon set the whole thing off a treat.

:unsure: Are you 'aving a laff?!

I have no idea what any of this is whatsoever, therefore i conclude you are a genius. :(
