Re: Systemdek IIX help needed.

Thank you all for your help, I'll order a 220 ohm resistor and fit it and see what voltage I achieve from the PSU before connecting the motor up. The PSU in that thread is different to mine though. I have 0.82uF and 1uF Caps and the resistor was a ceramic encased type. I also noticed that there didn...

Systemdek IIX help needed.

After getting my Systemdek out today and it playing for about 20 minutes it slowly ground to a halt. After some obvious checks of fuses it became obvious that it needed a deeper look which after some research is pointing me in the direction of the power supply resistor. Unfortunately the marking on ...

This was part of a celebration of 10 years of Matthew's record label, Gondwana Records. Line up consisted of trumpet, double bass, drums, keys, Irish harp and the bonus of...

Cubette Mk 2 Review

This review is long overdue but to be honest I have been struggling to assess the new version of the Cubettes. That is not a negative because I really like what they do which is play music in such an enjoyable way that I do not feel the need to listen critically. There are a couple of examples where...

Re: Your fav' CD players

I would love to hear a Meridian 206B again in my current system. It sounded great when I had one years ago but it broke down and when I sent it for repair I didn't get it back. I have recently been listening to a NOS modified Philips CD104, not hi-fi by today's standards but an enjoyable listen neve...

Re: somethingfunny

So in the NVA Phono 2 thread Biggy/somethingfunny says about the AOS bake off "I don't see obvious manipulation...." While obviously manipulating the Phono 2 thread itself :snooty: It was becoming obvious that he was a plant to support Firebottle, the trouble is deceit is very difficult to...
