Think you've hit the nail on the head there. No it doesn't cause issues, I wouldn't have know if I wasn't messing and I can't tell at all and sounds excellent when the speakers are balenced. So think I will leave alone. As far as the PC goes, I used to have a computer desk until I got back into...

I've swapped the speakers round and it was still the left one so that rules out it being the speakers. Also swapped the speaker cables round which rules out the amp or cable. So to me it can only be the positioning. When it is balanced it is not noticeable only when i switch from left to right.

I'm leaning towards the positioning of the left speaker as the problem. I swapped the left channel speaker cable to feed the right speaker and the right channel cable to feed the left speaker, so if it was the amp that was a problem then the right speaker should have sounded worse. It was still...

I was messing about with my system and noticed that the bass out of my left speaker is flatter than the bass coming out of my right speaker. I have swapped the speakers round and it's still the same. It's the same playing vinyl as with streaming Spotify. I have tried the speakers in A and B...

That was my next project adding a screen. Could this be done with a 3.5 inch screen? Not bothered about using it as a control screen, would use my phone for that just like the look of the fancy meters and whatnots.

Maybe the script is easier than I think. It's just that I'm not into any form of coding - which is why I was more than happy to be up and running with a viable Pi streamer without the need for any scripting on my part so far! Oh and sorry, SMPS is Switched Mode Power Supply - the type Raspberry...

Only needed to add a bit of a script and change some settings in PicorePlayer to get the power button to work, Audiophonics were very good in giving me this information. The LPSU is connected directly to the DAC board which in turn powers the Pi. As far as SMPS you've lost me there so I take...

Can't comment on your DAC but in my opinion my new setup has a better SQ when playing through the CCA DAC and marginally better when playing the CCA through my Matantz DAC. It's just slightly clearer with more depth. It's could even be my ears wanting to hear a better SQ. The CCA is an amazing...

Well finally got round to building the Raspberry Pi / DAC Streamer. After plenty of research I went for this DAC Combined with a Linear PSU and power button, which enables the Pi to be turned of safely without the risk of corrupting the SD card. Did a bit of a DIY case with some acrylic and a...

Thinking of doing a little project to make a DAC with the Raspberry Pi and one of the DAC hats like http://iqaudio.co.uk/hats/47-pi-dac-pro.html https://www.hifiberry.com/shop/boards/hifiberry-dac-pro/ https://www.justboom.co/product/justboom-dac-hat/ Then adding Volumio software and see how...

Interested in this, could you point me in tne right direction as instructions. Cheers.

Had a demo with a few speakers , the 3050's being one of them. Out of them I liked the 3050's the best , giving a warm fuller sound and they have great reviews. I ended up with some Focal Aria 906's that came up as a bargain which I love.

Well I went for the Focal's in the end. Managed to demo them although they were playing them through a Naim system and liked the sound of them. IMO I have got an absolute bargain, they are pretty much brand new only being used for around 5 hours. I know its not all about a bargain but I have...

Well think I'm gonna go with the Focal's I've secured a good deal (£400) for a mint as new pair. I'm going to demo them next week and if I like will get them. They defo look the part and hopefully they will sound the part.
