Seasick Steve Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 @OldFord all the best with the project mate And all the best with your health, I've read quite a few of your posts and you mentioned something about it but I didn't know it was to that extent. Glad you're still here man, you come across as a right nice bloke, you deserve it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bit of an obsession with vintage solid state Morning mate, sadly no , the valves wouldnt survive the life with vibrations and bumpy rides. The Carver processor is something i have owned for a long time now , happy on 12v - 15v , has his signature Sonic Holography & Deep Bass Retrieval systems incorporated. Will be joined by some old classic but high end Nakamichi & Denon & Rockford Fosgate goodness , sadly i need to go class D for bass duties due to power requirements , benched & bias tweaked to suit my needs. Just using up kt i have laying about , even some Wharfedale goodness going on too. Designs / spec's my own but tweaked by one of the best in the biz. Realistically its a mobile system that will stay in place within a van , subs firing out rear doors , mid arrays either L/R of horn mouth or up high , no front stage to mess with timings of main , should be nice & warm , no ear splitting highs All for charity and some fun along the way 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepe Ramon Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I have a Rega Planar 1, a Rega IO amp and a pair Q Acoustics 3020i speakers, one of which is wall mounted and I have upgraded the mat and the belt on the turntable I also use a 160gb iPod Classic which sits on a Pure i10 Dock and I sometimes plug the laptop in, I am thinking of upgrading the iPod to something like a FIIO M7 which plays FLAC files, the iPod doesn't even know FLACs exist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeTester Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 @Mugwuffin have you heard about mqa going belly up. Can't see it being any great loss to the music industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugwuffin Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Yeah I saw people discussing it a few months ago, made me smile. Still I'm surprised by how many adopted it as a new standard, especially when DSD is so widely available (just got a new media player for my headphones, DSD is by far the biggest difference I've heard in resolution, compared to CD) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepe Ramon Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 My iPod Classic died on me yesterday, it's quite old to be fair but I love it. I'm thinking of getting it repaired but I'd also like some suggestions for a good quality MP3 player, one that plays FLAC files would be a bonus, it needs to have around 160GB storage and interact with iTunes, budget around £200. So far the one that catches my eye is the Fiio M7. BTW I can play music at home with no problems as all my music is on my laptop but I have to have my music in the car and the lappy isn't really practical.

Scratch that, I've managed to get it working again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
