Re: Tinker, Tailor, Streamer, Pi.

Yeah, it's been sounding good. TBH I cannot hear (apart from no fan noise) any difference into the SMSL. This the first time for me using a Pi this way. Had loads running Kodi but now onto an Odroid for that and before the Lenovo I had a CuBox running Volumio.

Re: Tinker, Tailor, Streamer, Pi.

Right, I've got a 2.5" SATA / USB3 caddy arriving on Monday, and I'll try hanging that off of my PC and flashing Volumio to it as if it were an SD card or a flash drive, and then stuffing it back in the Mini-PC. That's the way I did my Lenovo C40 all in one. I first did it on a drive hacked ou...

Re: P50SA & A80's - 1st impressions

I've got Mk1 A80s and whilst my P50SA before upgrade was cracking since having the pre upgraded I can't see myself changing anything amp wise in the future, love the music presented with the Larsen's

Re: New Adventures in Chi-Fi

I've had quite a bit over the years, starting with a Jungson Moon Harbour CD player. That led me to investigate what else Jungson made and I got the JA-88D amp. This was before they'd got distribution in the UK, so prices were ridiculously cheap for what you got even after import fees. As the Moon H...

Black Sabbath - Vol 4 - fave track - Supernaut - come on just listen to it and even check out the 1000 Homo Djs version Faith No Mor...

Re: Black Sabbath

I picked up the Ten Year War boxed set last year having always liked them and Ozzy but never owning anything, apart from the We Sold Our Souls etc. and Ozzy's Live and Loud CD. I played each in order and the quality and strength of material is immense. Never saw them but the closest was seeing Ozzy ...

I had the opportunity to run through some more vinyl today, some Denim and Leather - Sacred Autism, this sounded immense, more depth and umph to rhythms and riffs and vocals cutting through.

Re: Pre Amp Upgrades......

Hi, My P50SA arrived back earlier in the week but only had a chance to check it out yesterday. To say I'm chuffed is an understatement. Upon opening the box it was like unpacking a brand new item which was a really nice touch, as are the gloves. Streaming from my NAS, first up was Kyuss - Blues for ...
