Some times, reading the discourse here, is like looking in a mirror.

Why are so many of you still stuck in the seventies? I just listened to WORKING MENS CLUB. It's new. There is lots of new synth' music today. All this old stuff is just old. We attended the DESTINATION DOCKLANDS, gig. We were just soaked to the skin, and the taxi's just disappeared. I am 68...

I'm rather fond of LITTLE BOOTS. Try NOCTURNES, circa 2013. It's my favourite by her. Try watching the REMEDY video.

I was convinced that a Japanese imported 100V Luxman amp, was the way to go. I purchased a reasonably priced English transformer. (Approx £450). Then I realised it was all fools gold. And a fool and his money are soon parted. So I have a Transformer for sale, and am now saving for that ellusive...

I must say this Belkin looks superior to my TACIMAs, First yours has 8 gangs plus 2 USB's, (mine has 6 gangs and no USB's.) Further more, Yours is half the price of mine, and it has a switch! And I had to buy 3 of them. TV, HIFI and Computer. I know I have said this before, THE NATIONAL GRID is...

I cannot afford a regenerator, or food, because I keep buying SACD's

So power sub-stations are now spontaniously combusting, without a cause. So as every single newspaper, website, radio and TV channels are full of ****. This is just the first of many electrical (accidents) due over the next ten years. And it's all my fault. Time for bed.

No, I meant £4K, was the total cost of the TT all in. You know as well as everyone here, there is no way you can buy extras to embelish the SACD with new components, making it like a jigsaw, so we can all add, solder, or hammer percieved improvements into it. But, with todays tech, they CAN make...

SACD players can cost a similar amount to a good TT. (by good, I mean £4K) Imagine a TT with a remote! LP's cost as much as SACD's. But there is no comparison. But I will say, the jewel cases that enclose the discs are a disgrace, simply holding one, can destroy it. Imagine trying to roll...

I bought a new CD player because I do not have a TT, or come to that No L.P.'s either.

I have same extention leads as you. I have one feeding the TV stuff, 5 of. And one plugged into the spare TV stuff socket feeding the HI-FI stuff. Meaning the HI-FI is recieving an extention, from an extention. Please be aware the national grid is undergoing serious modifying, there will be...

If everyone agreed with each other, We would not read it. We would sit and listen to our Amstrads, and watch the TV at the same time.

What I really want, and what I am saving for are very different. I am saving for a Marantz 507Z , or a 509X ASAP. Will I then later sell it for twin Macintosh monoblocks and a valve pre-amp sometime later. (still undecided). There is no end to what I want. But I have a grip. It comes down...

When you decide to upgrade, keep the (working) kit. So that will make it easy to fault check in future.

Hi Paul, I used a NAD 320Bee for 18 years, and yes, both sides got worrigly hot, it never proved to be a problem. I did wonder how much electricity was needed to produce this amount of heat. I still have it, it's under the bed. all the best, IAN.
