Update: Belts buggered as expected, new belts on order..

I'm so busted and I agree its irrational to persevere with such an unreliable format. That said I am smitten with silver faced retro gear... especially if they've got BIG vu meters! However, to quote one of may favourite yootoobers... "Cassettes - better than you don't remember" and whilst...

Well I’ve bought another cassette deck (arriving next week) in vain hope that this nearly 50 year old machine will not require its belts replacing… or worse the idler wheels only made on the moon of Pandora. But as you can see it’s rather nice looking and any repair concerns went out the window...

Hi, I'm thinking about getting a Marantz 6007, however it would be located approx. 5 metres/16 feet from my Marantz PM7000N. The simple solution would be to connect it to the amp using optical toslink and use the CD6007 as a transport, but I'm not sure if they both have the same DACs or if they...

Dunno why people turn their noses up at daytime tv, I mean who new soft toys could be used to for room treatment 😂

I was half watching BBC's Escape To The Country today, when I happened to notice some room treatment (?) in a distinctly non audiophile room. I normally expect to see this sort of thing in rooms used by the likes of John Darko . So I was both amused and intrigued in equal parts and wondered if...

Will definitely try and resist rapping and my singing is even worse! Regarding 3000C series I missed these and they are at least 1kg heavier so maybe the casework is more substantial. That said, the 3030i's looks more than make up for any shortcomings in build.

I have a pair of Q Acoustic 3030i speakers in my main set up and whilst i'm happy with how they sound, I have to admit the cabinet is quite disappointing and sounds quite cheap if you try the 'thunk' test and do sound rather hollow. They are even more disappointing when compared to a pair of...

I agree I was stretching it a bit with my post, but in terms of limitations my small ‘square’ is generally not ideal for hi fi… unless thinking has changed recently. However looking at some of these set ups I’m well aware I’ve nothing to complain about. Perhaps I need to search for a square...

With less than desirable room dimensions of just over 3m x 3m, I’ve finally settled on no ‘toe in’ and approx 25cm from front wall with 40cm from side wall. Whether my stand mount Q Acoustics 3030i’s can be judged well positioned I will never know. However having recently moved them further...

:ROFLMAO:

All bought under the radar and minatures too, so not too much grief from the wife when they arrived :ROFLMAO:

I had to 'shoe horn' in a Father Ted reference... :rolleyes:

My new downsized set up after a busy round of Ebay sales, but with one missing in action - my lovely Akai GX-F31 tape deck.. thanks Royal Mail!
