I thought I’d make this very quick post to say Happy New Year and welcome to 2025, here at Liquid Audio!
Whilst I’ve been open for business and working hard since 14 January, I will definitely not be in my workshop today. Perth gets hot during summer. How hot..? Well, for my international visitors especially, how about 34 degrees C or 93 degrees F at 9 in the morning?!
That’s right, at 9 am today it was already 34 degrees C, around 93 degrees F. That’s nuts. At the time of writing, 10.30 am, it is 38 degrees C or just over 100 degrees F. If things pan out, it will reach 44 degrees C, or 111 degrees F at some point later. Ridiculous temperatures, but you just need to try to keep cool and that means staying out of my workshop!
Keep in mind that these are official, inside-a-weather-station temps. Unofficially it gets much hotter than this in the sun, on the freeway for example. We are also talking about a capital city here. I’ve been to Death Valley, I know there are hotter places on Earth, but temps like this in a city of over a million people are quite an unusual thing, for now anyway.
Update, 12.30 pm:
It’s too hot to run class A power amplifiers, but evenings are nice for a little bit of stargazing though, so I’m possibly rekindling an old passion of mine for astronomy. I purchased this gorgeous Sky-Watcher Evostar 100ED telescope with some Xmas money. Let’s see if I get some use out of this beauty, I just need a mount for it now, perhaps a nice simple AZ mount to start with.
Anyway, I looking forward to bringing you many new and interesting hi-fi-related stories in 2025, so stay tuned and if you have any special requests, don’t hesitate to let me know in the comments!

Thumbs up for astronomy.
I found a National Geo refractor in my neighbour’s hard garbage and asked if I could take it.
Since then I’ve been using one of those mobile phone star maps that work like a GPS for space and photographed Jupiter and its four biggest moons. Fuzzy as, but cool all the same. Next goal is to find Saturn and its rings.
Fantastic Ralf! Yep, this stuff is a lot of fun, I only just received this telescope and will hopefully find a suitable mount for it soon. I may even take a few photos with it!
In India 34 degrees temp is quite normal
Indeed it is, I’ve been to India a couple of times and 34 degrees is normal there and here. 44 degrees however is almost uniquely hot for a capital city. Very few places I’ve visited get this hot, with the exception of Death Valley and a couple of others!
Same back you Mike
Hope it’s not going to get to hot , we just hit 48c in Horrocks and 49.3 in Geraldton today
