And when you take a really expensive, sleek, modern, black desk lamp with you (one that exactly matches a larger standard lamp that SWMBO loves) don't leave it behind in the room. Luckily I've just found an exact copy as replacement. I'm planning on hiding it somewhere where she might come across it. "You see, I knew I hadn't taken it with me. It must have been here all the time."

If I go I'll walk around with 'A. Jones Audio Designer' on an ID card.

PS. Alcohol in large quantities does not go well with vinyl replay, just sayin'.

a good tip there, hotel bedroom lighting tends towards dim / mood lighting (as well as cost saving) so a IKEA type LED lamp can be useful, essential if playing vinyl. Of course if your room share is a builder and brings a typical builder's non-working extension lead you may struggle. Not that ever happened to me <cough>

Test every extension lead and cable beforehand, but also expect one or two to mysteriously stop working. There is some force at work, so far unknown to science, that seems to affect interconnects and extension leads when you put them in a car and take them somewhere.

This effect isn't limited to cables - anything can be affected unfortunately. Hence, I make sure I pack a rudimentary toolkit - pliers, screwdrivers, wire cutters/strippers, soldering iron, solder, multimeter, etc. Even if your own kit survives the journey there will probably be someone else in need of repair kit.

Is that the force that works in opposition to the one that can make cables sound better, all in some sort of sub atomic version of Newton's 3rd law of motion ..... :ROFLMAO:

No, that's a different force, generated by a strong foo bullshit field.
