Funnily enough, I ended up in Diesel R&D because my first job offer, as an engineer with Garrard, fell through when they had a major strike and then ceased trading. Once upon a time I knew more about turntables and cartridges (and preamps) than I care to think about nowadays, as it’s about as much use as a knowledge of the design of late Victorian steam engines. I have a terrible record of being interested in things just before they become totally obsolete, only to see them become fashionable again when I’m not in a position to do anything with them.
