    Seriously down-scaling

    The active speakers on special with @Air seem to be worth a look aswell (I would)

    Amp recommendation

    I’d be cautious off any FB marketplace sales…a quick search here shows the last 3020 on sale May 2022, they do not come up for sale here often (which is indicative)

    Official releases scheduled for Record Store Day on 22nd April

    The big problem is that our record stores get VERY little RSD releases at all. It’s a shame really

    Amp recommendation

    If the amp is good for now and has unbalanced input why not just add an ifi zen phono? Plugs in easy peasy (and under R4k) & gives you various options for cartridges (mm, MC high output, and further down the road more expensive MC carts)

    Amp recommendation

    As above, check in with Jacques the Tt guy to have it serviced. Wrt to amp / phono / integrated… I haven’t seen many 3020’s coming up for sale on the sale boards. However my old NAD 304 I used to have did the job sufficiently (had an onboard phono) and didn’t sound terrible driving my...

    Marantz AVR repair recommendations

    You can try bobby +27 (82) 850-4994 I’d say Nilam but he usually is better with older stereo repairs as opposed to hdmi AVR’s (from my experience)

    The Sonics on the live album are much better than the studio album. The packaging on live album is unreal, you can see that a lot of thought has gone into it (the text in the wrong direction on the spine Vs the front cover of the sleeve is how all records should be) I have a sealed copy of...

    2021 - UK, Gondwana Records - Matthew Halsall - Salute to the Sun (Live at Hallé St. Peter's) Feels like forever since a listened to a record. I truly needed this today to cap off a week. Absolutely phenomenal record from open to close. I’ve said it before and will happily say it again...

    Bentley fs120 upgrade path

    From your answers above, your main purpose is Home theatre. The 120’s while excellent on music (I ran them in my stereo setup, they were superlative as were the 100 bookshelves) in a stereo configuration. The 150’s are more geared to HT, in a sense that they present a large scale sound stage...

    Testing ChatGPT

    The super interesting thing here is it’s use case for example in creating social media content or scripts for for content. At a base level what would take a junior level agency staff member at least a few hours (3/4) to do (& then have me check & correct) now takes an hour so from a base it’s...

    Roger Waters Re-Records Dark Side of the Moon

    I don’t know, already I found his voice on “is this what we really want” beginning to show signs of wear. I don’t know if I’d myself purchase this (even listening to him on a podcast the other day for 3 hours he started sounding like a crazy old man🤣) I’m sure they have hours of tape from...

    Sizing of a solar backup system for essential security related applications (gate, CCTV, fence etc.)

    Turntable cartridge hour meter, any ideas?

    A note on your phone…and an internet connection. Search query “James Bay - chaos and the calm album length” query answer = 48:11 Added to total running time of cart on the note on your phone. You will require your mathematic skills. Slightly the long way and not ideal but works for me.

    What's wrong?

    My recommendation, turn off. Get up go for a walk, do something else. Clear your mind, quieten the noise, even if it takes you a few days. I always say try again tomorrow. There are days when you just don’t feel it. At times I find the abyss of music available via streaming can sometimes drive...
