Handsome Thanks for the reply. It makes sense. Could you recommend a contact cleaner? I will definitely follow your advice on socket cleaning next time. But I did rince thoroughly after scraping. I was just surprised what a huge difference it made. Neels

Hi I own a Little Dot MKIV SE headphone amp. Recently I started hearing a crackling noise in the right ear. This had me seriously worried as I am not in a position to order replacement tubes. When I removed (very nervously) the 2 Mullards to swap them over trying to isolate the problem I...

Sajunky Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I am not in a position to drive there atm and the wife will feel it is much to far away :-). I was hoping for somebody or a workshop close by to help me with this as I have very little experience in these matters. Maybe this is the wrong forum section...

Hi I have 2 Samson SR850 headphones which both suffered the same problem. The cable cracked right behind the headphone jack. Now I have inherited a soldering iron from my dad but unfortunately run into too much thumbs myself. I also ordered replacemend 3 pole jacks fron RS Online. I was...

The other advantage to me about the 365 subscription is the 1tb onedrive space it includes.  The onedrive app does have its anoyances to me though.  Imho the dropbox app is still much better.  The included onedrive space with the office subscrption clinched the deal for me.  I am on the yerly...

I rather think the list of 2013 2014 & 2015 hacks put this myth to sleep though.  The scary thing is that there are many linux users out there that still lives this dream though. The other irony is that most of the vulnerabilities exposed by this are on linux systems. 

This looks very interesting, especially as it supports lms. What is the current subscription cost? I cannot seem to find that on their website. Comparisons with Qobuz anyone? Regards Neels

Binary Sunset from Star Wars

I've used Mezzmo with success. But the fw rw issue with all mkv ond some other files is always thete as it is definitely a Samsung dlna implementation issue. Have since dedicated an old core2due machine with xbmc as htpc. A 3000% improvement Neels

Ordered a Galaxy Tab 10.5 s with case from them. Tab took abou 2 weeks. Case 4 weeks. But they split the delivery without any additional costs. At their prices I was willing to wait a bit longer. Regards Neels

Interesting. Any noise on the usb as people have complained? Have you used it with a wifi dongle? Regards Neels

Same sort of product in the same price range. The IQaudIO fits their case better. I have one of each but on different systems so it is difficult to compare directly but I cannot hear obvious differences. The hifiberry was out first and one can find reviews and impressions all over the place. Not...

KJ You must be kidding! A bit of a pain getting the components here, and now with the post office gone awol I suppose one will have to wait. Both companies ship with a trackin number and I have received my stuff on the 4 times I have ordrred within about 3 weeks. Johnny I have no personal...

Sound Issues: Since I lost my duets about 4 month before I managed to get this up and running, direct comparison is difficult. But I am very happy with the sound and did not notice any problems. There is talk that the unit with the wifi dongle performs better than being attach through a network...

KJ Technical thins first. The Raspberry Pi here can do exactly the same as a squeezebox. It connects to your Logitech Media Server in exactly the same way. You can also use the add-ons you use with LMS. I use Deezer with success. There are only a few small things. 1) The DAC and SPDIF modules...

Part 3: Not all wifi dongles work with the Raspberry Pi. I've used this one: http://www.sybaritic.co.za/store/advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description=0&keywords=TEW-648UBM&x=0&y=0 You will of course need an SD card and micro usb power cable. To get up and running is very easy with...

Some further info: For the old Raspberry Pi B it was necessary to solder in a small 10 pin header onto the Raspberry pi board. Even I with no previous soldering experience could do it for all three of the Pi's. However with the new Raspberry Pi B+ soldering is no longer required, making this...

Hi Since there has been a lot of Squeezebox equipment sold recently and there appears to be a great need for more, I thought I would share my squeezebox replacements with you since I recently lost 2 duets due to a lightning strike and could not replace them. All three of my units are based on...

I don't agree either. The chit chat on the classifieds forum makes it one of the most entertaining forums around. Much more fun to follow than e.g. the pure classifieds of avsa. Neels

I mean it is not a streaming device that use broadband. It is for consumers for whom a cheap broaband connection is not viable. Hence the push over satellite technology. Quite popular apparently. Neels
