This...... ....in my opinion :) It's either than or spend £10k+ on acoustic panelling :LOL:

Ikemi is the big item there - maybe £1,000 if you're lucky....many are advertised above that (mainly serviced ones) but mine was £800 not that long ago and most seem to sell for the 850-950 mark. £200 ish for the Majik Maybe £180 for the Katans ....so your £1500 total probably isn't too far out...

Ah well that's Freddie off for his last sleep today and a host of ethereal adventures - its been a blast doggo - one of the few to attend an official MacRetro ride too :cool:

Just been notified Braemar Mountain rescue called to Tarland today as a mtb'er faceplanted and had to be evacuated PDQ :oops:

Got sent this at work today as we're using CRC for another project :cool:

Give it a few more weeks and the midgies will be out too o_O

Only one I've seen is a 1990s Breezer http://www.mountainbikecatalogue.com/breezer/1990-1999/1993/beamer.html

Argyll Velo - the locals will actually eat you if you spell it wrong. Argyle is for socks and streets :D I'm around for another week before travelling back east so may get the opportunity to accost you again soon, otherwise you're safe for a few weeks......hope all pans out well for you. If...

I'm currently using one of these mini Acoustic Research USB DACs in my first venture into streaming through my laptop into main system. Very noticeable improvement (compared to no DAC) and happily cost me under £100 with all goodies. Nice wee bit of kit, for my purposes anyway. :p

Just checked my Creek - case is just under 170mm or 6.6" front to back 🤓

Creek amps are quite small front to back - approx 9" from memory ....eg Creek CAS 4040........ also fairly inexpensive if you're lucky...

Yes this is what's drawing me into streaming more - listening to bands I've never heard of, mainly new ones, and some of their offerings are pretty good too! If I want a CD or record I'll still buy them though, probably. I'm up do date with my Larkin Poe collection now :cool:

What are folks source listening preferences nowadays, given that streaming is well and truly upon us? I've only recently started streaming regularly, still hopping from one 3 month free trial to another 😁 ....which I do through my laptop plus Acoustic Research USB DAC into regular amps...

Still hobblin along! Just plain busy at work all the time and still clearing up garden after storm Corrie in February........also bought a woodchipper, so that's fun :cool: Playing with stereo tonight - volume up 😁

Can't recall if I've put this up here or not - been through a few RB'rs hands I believe - the bike - not me :oops: 1990-ish Andes :)

Looks a good time to point out the real reason many of us old timers held onto vinyl all these years - much easier and more sociable to skin up on a 12" record sleeve than a CD case or streamer! 🕉️

Funnily enough my Sondek's just been dropped off with a capable enthusiast for a bit of TLC and pimping. It's an early one from mid 1970s which hasn't seen many modifications. In for new PSU, tone arm cable and mains lead pus a few other bits - not spending silly money though. Original...

Think I'll actually need to join in with this in 2022 🤓🤓🤓🤓

I got a lamp which uses 18650 batts a couple of years ago - great wee setup and really bright - right up to the point the charger disintegrated and then one of the (very flimsy) wires detached at the business end of the lamp. Batts are excellent though 😁

We got a fair battering in Aberdeenshire and many fowk were without power/electric for a week but hey, it's December so kinda to be expected although this was much worse than usual. Our guys were out doing welfare checks on elderly, remote , vulnerable etc and mobile food kitchens, food parcels...
