that a listener while a discussion was going on suddenly turned to ask did something just happened, did someone rung a bell, etc. This was while a few seconds from Sirius - Alan Paesons Project had started to be played.
(Just to remind, this is a setup with just one full range loudspeaker, mono, class A operation)
Much of this is thanks to little nephew, Ionas who wondered very seriously why should 2 loudspeakers be used. And his grandfather Nikos who always insists that music diffuses.
In fact much of the Pleiades battery operated electron tube circuits were influenced by Nikos who always insisted that experiments should be done with low (tension) voltage battery supply for safety. (Never forget to use a fuse in series with a battery terminal for safety). Nikos would always buy to his son the best available tools. And helped his kid built the first electronic construction with springs connecting resistors, transistor, capacitor, battery etc. Nikos is an economist and a painter.
Niko's wife, a very dynamic mother always encourages but is also very keen on throwing away electronic constructions etc. For example 2 mono amps would be too much. It is thanks to her that the Pleiades labs were made so that things would not suddenly disappear without notice. Nikos and Rena played also a very important part in giving their son an electronic engineering education at Warwick University in UK.
So there you go, a mono setup that may satisfy anyone including perhaps, Phil Spector or Joe Meek. Mike Oldfield also must have learned, hearing a lot of detail too from the one only speaker of his Dansette electron tube record player when he was a kid.
Signal path, setup:
(Sirius - The Alan Parsons Project, the definitive collection) - Sony CD Walkman from line out - Pleiades 2N3053 mono class A amp, Vbattery=12V - PHILIPS AD5046N (800Ω)
