Yes I knew that the belt needed replacing before posting on here.

For some reason I didn't. I was really tired and wanted to get home asap.

Just the belt needed replacing. Surprised that they had the correct belt in stock.

Dropped it off at 3pm yesterday. Received an email at 9.30am this morning saying it was ready collected. Impressive.

If you are involved in any hobby day in day out you will eventually get bored of it. I have several other hobbies: photography, astronomy, gardening, car detailing, luxury watches.... the list goes on. I don't spend every day on forums for one particular hobby and these days try to spend more...

I've already dropped it off at Doug Brady who quoted me £60 to repair. They are Arcam dealers and are just 6 miles away from me. I've already dropped it off but probably should have removed the lid to take a look. They had some amazing kit in there on display like the Marten Parker Quintet...

I've been collecting 4K film steelbook boxsets. The funny thing is I don't have a UHD player. I don't even have a 4K TV. I still have a 10 year Sony Bravia KDL55W905. I'm holding out for a little longer before buying a 4K TV and UHD player. I was somewhat shocked that only Sony and Panasonic are...
