These B&O Beovox 3000’s sat in my cupboard for years. The SEAS Drivers etc all in mint condition, but the cabinets had a few dings and always put me off. Whilst fiddling around one day with the little bedroom system, I connected the two 53 year old up to the NAD C700, and was really...

I am pleased to announce that I have started a new enterprise under the name rec.audiocraft! The business will manufacture various items with a focus on audio related furniture and equipment, which I will elaborate on as each product is completed and tested sufficiently enough to allow me to...

I need some help from anyone on the forum who may be more knowledgeable than I on the subject of networks and gaming consoles - namely Xbox Series X. Firstly… I’m not the gamer. That’s for my kids. They have been playing on this system for years with their profiles and “ultimate game pass” for...

I have long been a fan of BlueOS. It’s simple and does everything it’s supposed to. Integrate the platform into a small footprint digital amplifier such as the last generation Powernode, and you have a potent little solution that will suit most people needs. Scratch that. It will surpass the...

Hi all, anyone have a nice little phonostage for sale? Something good, nice and warm, at a reasonable price. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Putting together a stereo system from scratch, one that ticks off all the possible boxes, is near impossible. Many a frown already from the audience, but consider these alone as those that are generally the most important. Functionality ? what are my needs in terms of source and component...

I?ve mostly only owned traditional box speakers. Many variations thereof, but never open baffle. This will be where I express some of my thoughts of ownership of my first set, Jamo R909?s. I always wanted a set of these, even without ever having heard them. I tried to cut a deal a few years...

Hi all. I'm putting together another stereo system and want to know if anyone owns a pair of Wharfdale Linton Heritage (85th year anniversary) speakers, and their impressions thereof. In a word, I'd like the system to be "fun". Not a high budget system, not a critical listening one at all...

A good friends of mine has been needing to replace his integrated with something a little more muscular. At about the same time, Morne (Bizkit) made the announcement that he had just received the first Peachtree Nova 300 in the country. The unit ticked all the right boxes, and so was promptly...

... you drop 8k on a build by a well known, respected and renowned audio builder... then another 5k a few months in the later on request due to poor business prospects during the peak of COVID-19, and 10 months later haven?t seen anything but the odd pic of raw sample progress, false deadline...

A pleasant series of unexpected events saw an interesting little beauty arrive today in the form of a brand spanking new RP8 from Rega. Thank you Alleycat! Packaging was typically Rega - nothing unusual here. What lay inside was less so. The RP8 has some unusual traits in the plinth design...

Incredible workmanship and performance in design. Well done Jacque! Loving my new RCM! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I must admit, the tinkering and tweaking of record players is one of the reasons I find myself enjoying records so much. Compliment and compromise,  finding the unique partnerships between bits and bobs, an ever changing experience. I?ve had my reasonable share of bits, some good, some not. A...

Hey everyone. I?m looking for assistance, hopefully from a forum member, for some 3D printing for a prototype machine of sort. It?s a relatively small object, approximately 20 x 100 x 15 mm. If anyone has the expertise and kit, please let me know! Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A brief search on the forum brought up very little, so let?s discuss one of the most important,  yet least mentioned pieces of kit. The Chair. Instrumental to enjoying hours upon hours of musical bliss. As do good speakers, good ones disappear into the room and you forget that they are even...

Take one SOtM SMS-200 Roon ready streamer and strip down. Trace rear plate onto appropriate area of one Aqua LaVoce DAC. Spend about four hours replicating holes by hand with tiny files. Finish off with black textured finish, and add SOtM badge. Attach the three SOtM boards internally with...

I?m particularly fond of good design and highly skilled engineering when it come to audio. Audio is about the sound, but I?ll admit a part of my enjoyment of it all lies in the appreciation of the incredible engineering of some of the goodies out there. There have been threads on the most...

There was a point in time where I could no longer deny that the room had reached its limits in terms of what could be achieved in its current configuration. The time has come. I can no longer deny this. In a desperate attempt to prevent any further procrastination over whether it would be a good...

There probably has been another thread such as this -  but if there is, I have not seen it in a long time. I see many new members coming on board in the last few months asking for advice of varying nature. There are members in this forum with incredible knowledge and expertise, yet only a few...

A few months back, we decided to build a cottage in to our home. A single bedroom, open plans kitchen and lounge. Part of the build was adding a nice little AV system. It started here, taken 20th June. The shell construction went really quickly. The system was to be a clean 5.1.2 atmos...
