Re: Doc modding Marantz imperial 7

Cutting straight lines in tiles is no problem. Round driver cut outs are a different matter Round driver cut outs - well that was my first thought - how? I know of drill attachment to make holes in that kind of material some even big enough for tweeter but holes for 6,5 inches? if exists will be ra...

Re: Hi end Nva for £1599 anyone

Re: Just going out for a stroll

Yeap YAXI pads are really good for PortaPRO btw However the back of the player is rubberized and that had begun to perish, becoming unpleasantly sticky and rendering it unuseable. Pity, as this could also be RockBoxed and was a fine little MP3 player. can that rubber layer be removed and exposed sur...
