Another pointless Mana debate

Sticky, how's the new room heater settling in BTW? Are you going back to Cyrus?

 

In a word, "hot".
Was away from home last week; when I returned and switched the Walrus back on (at the mains), it took 6-12 hours to get back to its operating radiator temperature.

Just waiting for a new rack which hopefully will allow more air to circulate around it. It currently sits under an Ikea Lack coffee table, which isn't ideal.

I still have my Cyrus AV system, but the aPA7.5s have gone forever - to someone who needed 6 for tri-amping.

More than happy with the new power amp; just sorting out purchase/delivery of a new DAC, then no more upgrades for the foreseeable future.

 

You have a mains powered walrus?

So what's this electric walrus do then? I assume it's something to do with hifi, rather than a bizarre sex toy of some kind.

-- Ian

 

Dont you guys know nuttin?

It an amplifier

 

Thankyou.

Its a power amp, that runs quite hot, so it could double as a sex-toy if you like cooling fin burns as part of your fooling around.

I knew AK would know what I meant as he has one.

But, thanks for giving me the image of an electric Walrus, it has brightened up my otherwise dull day. I'm now off to use google to see if anyone sells electric Walruses.

 

If you find one, Ill give ya a tenner for the amp

 

Does it look like a walrus then? I certainly hope it doesn't sound like one.

-- Ian

 

Looks like a Kangaroo!

 

Now Ian stop it you know it doesn't matter what it sounds like, it's what it looks like.

Check here under gallery and look for pic of big shiny thing with heatsinks

I've never heard a Walrus in real life. If it did look like one then I'd have bought it whatever it sounded like, just to impress visitors.

This thread is getting stranger and stranger, but at least no-ones arguing about M***.

 

yet, give it time it'll come back round

 

According to Boomhauer and Fling's classic 1947 text, Animals Considered As Amplifiers, the adult male walrus (Odobenus rosmarus, to give it its proper Latin name), makes a noise almost exactly like that of a 150wpc MOSFET amp.

I think you need to share-out the drugs you're taking.

Would a real Walrus sound better on Mana? Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

No, it would sound glassy with no bass

Doesnt a walrus have its own built in spikes, or tusks as the manufacturer would say.

 

Ian do you have the ISBN number for this particular volume?

 

Tusks, is that hifi speak, full of gargon you lot I don't know

 

S'ok Paul, we know you dont know
