Need some advice The gearbox in my 2011 E250 seems to have given up the ghost today. Wouldn't engage any gear over third. Then went into limp mode and only goes to second. Took it to someone for an assessment and a quote. Been advised that's its the mechanotronic plate. But the gearbox needs...

I would like some opinions on Schiit Dacs from users on the forum. I have for a very short time started using a modi multibit now - barely run in but I am really enjoying it at the moment. There is a really nice smoothness to it that I am enjoying. Similar enjoyment I get from my vinyl. I am not...

My folks have the above AVR. When I came over to visit this evening they tell me it's not working - no sound. So AVR receive the hdmi signal from the dstv explora and video displays. No audio though. I've tried the tuner and no audio. Tried to check the speaker level calibration and no test...

So I've been clueless with Linux but somehow a couple of years ago managed to get a system running arch and Lms. This with lots of help from Scrarfussi. Don't think I did everything correctly at the time but worked ok till now. System has now completely crashed. Use it for local files and tidal...

Want to install a tracking device in a vehicle to be driven by a driver mostly. Will sometimes be taking my wife to work or running errands for my folks. The itrack live seems quite good for the money. Seems to offer what everybody else in terms of live tracking, driver behavior, etc as well...

I have a PC at my offices that one of my staff uses. She had her phone charging on the usb  port. When she pulled the cable out part of the port came out with it resulting in the PC switching off and refusing to start up again. I tested the power supply, etc and everything was fine. Only way to...

Can anybody help -  I no longer get email notifications of my PM's. Is it a problem with the site or some kind of setting?

So been playing around after listening to the uDSD and finally got around to making a cable for it. Short end goes to computer and long end to any usb charger. Going to have fun listening and comparing the difference but based on Croaks testing should be really good. To that I add a pc on a...

for ease of use and more specifically the fact that I can use a remote I decided to play tidal through my LMS. Followed the instructions and installed the ickstream plugin and set it up and am running nicely. My question is how do I know that it streaming flac and not another quality. I know...

As I mentioned in another thread I feel most of have what are essentially non-negotiable aspects of our audio experience. i am referring to those aspects of a system which we are not willing to give up. It could be anything from looks to tonality to build quality to brand? Mine refer...

So seeing as we have along weekend here and I have nothing on tonight or tomorrow figured it was the right time to get stuck into my promised review of the IDA-8. So have myself setup to listen to it and do some comparisons. Have the following equipment to make it as useful as possible and...

Where does everybody download DSD media? Super hire doesn't allow overseas customers. Any other good places. Looking for Rock and some alternative classical

So I quite enjoy a polk audio speakers and I actually feel they pretty good value for money usually. Bought a full home theater 5.1 setup about 12 years ago and they still there. Really enjoy listening to them. I've auditioned some of their bookshelves and quite enjoyed them. So I have been...

So seeing that android media players are quite cheap. Like the cloud gate circle for 1000. How good are these and how far can I push them? So would I be able to stream music from my squeezebox server to it and play the music via my dac in a headless setup? Any ideas if this is possible. I...

Like the topic says - which is better for stereo listening? What are your guys experience and preference?

So I'm not getting much advise on my other post. I want to share my subs between my HT and Stereo systems due to space constraints. So if I were to connect my Stereo system to the right RCA input of each sub and then my HT to the left of each sub - will this cause any damage. I will obviously...

So in keeping with the recent obsession with bass on the forum I'd like some advise please. So my stereo and HT setups share one room. For HT I am running a 7.1 system and for stereo I use a pair of Sonor Claro 6's. I'd like to add subs to my stereo system and from everything I have read and...

Yet another minipc competitor. Just amazes me how many of these are now available to take on the likes of raspberrypi and wandboard and so on. The prices are also becoming more and more competitive. No longer any excuses for not streaming music around your house. They easy to setup ( i mean...

Have a weird question. My gran is 90 now and as expected pretty hard of hearing. She absolutely hates every type of hearing aid we have gotten for her - and there have been a few. Appears as if they amplify certain frequencies that she really can't handle. Plus she is stubborn like you would...

Been working on building our own 3d printer. Brother did the design and I did most of the mechanical assembly. Shes running now. Needs some fine tuning and calibration but soon will have a new toy to play with.  :Whoohoo:
