    You could get the extension cab to be connected up in series to your combo speaker (cabling mods needed, but not difficult nor costly...). You would then have your two cabs, with the amp seeing a reduced load, so maybe happier. Any mileage..?

    DIN plugs were basically a European standard, and as the 'market' was supplanted by Japanese products, using mainly RCA (Phono...) plugs, the World adopted those instead. DIN plugs are more fragile, and require more expertise to correctly wire up, so went the way of the Dodo. They're still available, of course, and still have their uses, but no longer for mass-market 'consumer' goods. Digital technology and the use of serial buses have changed the game since. Such is the way of evolution and progress. (And you're right; HH was (and still is...) classy stuff... )

    In not so long from now, someone will be saying 'What..? A USB socket..? I've not seen one for decades..! Whatever happened to them..?'. This is a crazy price for an excellent amp/combo; if I were on the UK mainland I'd be driving to Bristol to pick it up (despite its weight...). I've a brother in South Wales; I'm half-tempted to see if he'll 'store' it for me..! £50 for this..? Amazing value. Disclaimer: I already have an HH 2 x 15 folded horn cab, so I'm in no need of extra gear, but this is a monster amp, and would grace any stage or studio. Hmm... I may 'phone my brother just the same...

    He won't need make-up. My agents will be in touch.

    Well, obviously that should be a clean, dry towel, not some beer-sodden rag..! Some folks wash their stuff, I'm told.

    What bait do you use for your bass traps..? I tried click-bait for a while, but it didn't trap bass, only Spam. The tone I'm hearing in my headset is much better now, though. Now, if only I could find something to reduce the constant chirruping in my ears and those persistent angry steam whistles, I'd be able to mix with the best of 'em. Next project..? Oak panelling for the Main Library, and draperies for the West Wing. I may consider plasterboard for the domestics' quarters (but may not...).

    Pointless..! We have a French version of that, now, but with a different game show host, of course.

    There's no counter possible with analytical criticism of that order.

    Does that imply that we're... friends..? (Deeply honoured...) Maybe he's pulled the Trigger..?

    ... as was the emergence of Bob Dylan, the mini-skirt and the invention of LSD. Much stuff is a 'game changer' in one way or another.

    But the clue, I think, is in your last phrase... Changed the world for those kids, I'd agree, but not 'changed the World'. A major effect on those that 'were there', but much less important (as a TV show...) for most of the planet; even less so for those who'd already been exposed to them and their peers. I remember their first passages on the Light Programme (we had no TV at that time...), and was well aware of the hysteria surrounding their every appearance, but to say it was like St Paul's epiphany would be a great exaggeration. There were many other groups around at the time that also caught our attention. A greater impact was the passage of John Peel on the airwaves to many in the UK, and possibly Europe. I'm wary, in any case of fanaticism in any form.
