    Question Rega Planar 3 - Upgrade or Replace

    I have the sane era Rega Planer 3 with the S shaped tone arm. A few weeks ago the cartridge fell apart. The cartridge was an original goldring from the same era. It should be noted that I was given the rega in none working order and had it sat on a shelf at work for years as I also have a Dual...

    DPD are the worst for us now, especially at work. The old drivers were great but the new drivers! A number of our suppliers use DPD, Roberts Radio are one. DPD drivers will dump boxes just inside our roller shutter in full view of the general public and don't even let us know they've been. It...

    Or as in our case, amazon drivers regularly delivering to any of the three streets around us and not our house. Is it really that hard? We have a street name sign above our back door, one on the front of the house.

    Years ago a friend of mine was in hospital almost head to toe in a cast. She never believed in astrology but just happened to read a newspapers astrology column for that day. Under her star sign it said "now is a good time to travel" 🤣

    The Car Thread.

    I was up at 3:30 ready for it. My sons projector was messing about so 3:58 before we finally settled down to watch. Those lead changes in the opening laps were brilliant to watch.

    That's why I've been using android auto it's Google maps so regular automatic updates. The only thing I miss when using android auto over the built in sat nav, is that my Mazda has a HUD and directions from the inbuilt sat nav are projected on the windscreen. If Mazda charged £25 I wouldn't...

    So the manufacturer of the car, the same company who designed the car put the ODBII port in the wrong place. Yeah sure they did. Roughly translated, we haven't got a clue what we are doing or where to look, so we'll blame Mazda.

    I have another entry for room101. Car manufacturers and the money they charge for map updates of the inbuilt sat nav. My 2021 Mazda CX-30 has one more free update that I have to do before the end of this month, then its £120 a year. My car also works with android auto and Google maps has proved...

    Too late? Gimmick or a good idea?

    I bought a 512gb SD card for my phone for that reason. CD's ripped to my NAS in flac and then download to my SD card in my phone or the SD card in my Sony NWA55.

    Too late? Gimmick or a good idea?

    I could be tempted with that as a space saving CD player for my system but not as a portable. There are few on the market.
