Re: The Analog Kid

Re: Your last listen

I needed something smooth and relaxing after sorting out a lot of legal stuff (solicitors lack of urgency winds me thru the roof) and an ongoing boundary dispute that makes me want to wrap a shovel round someones head.

Re: NVA Field Agents

My post is related to only geographical placement of the agents (makes me think of The Matrix for some reason :grin: ). Five or six agents need to be spread out amongst the area you are intending to cover. Does that include Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland ? Scotland would need one agent imo. Londo...

Re: Tablets

Mine is a galaxy tab a7. Nothing majorly wrong with it. I have only ever had Samsung tablets. My kids have amazon fire or whatever they are called. Too small for my ageing eyes and sausage fingers.

Re: Non USB streaming

The Mano looks nice and simple inside compared to some which have oceans of components. KISS 8-)
