Should anyone wonder why mid April and not sooner. I always enjoy my meetings with Paul and I would like to help in the testing. It should be both fun and educational for me. If these were normal times I would head down to Paul's place whenever he had some time available. Times aren't normal now. By mid April, my vaccination should be effective and it will be a bit safer for this old guy to go out and about.
If you have the Sony (or Akai ) transformers and are waiting for the test results before using them in a project, don't. There are enough favorable reports to recommend their use. There is always going to be something that is better.
