Calm down, pretend to go to the shop and go for a walk.

I use a £149, AppleTV4 and Apple Music streaming services at 24/256Kb/s AAC. The AppleTV feeds HDMI to the telly, then the audio is split off within the TV and goes from said TV, via optical cable to my Musical Fidelity M1 DAC, at a fixed, un-movable, 24 bit 48KHz, regardless of what the source numb...

Niiiiiiiiiiiice

Thanks.

Anyone got a couple of ECC82/12AU7 they could lend me, with a view to purchase later on ?

And finally for today’s original vinyl session:

America- Hearts. From 1975. Produced by George Martin and engineered by Geoff Emerick.
Like a cuddly warm blanket as Autumn sets in... Larvely.

Wicked Moog bass lines. Jazz-Funk at its best; from one of the masters of the genre.

This 1973 Bowie release, on the original vinyl: 7B105311-2E34-45F8-A57C-62C97A5AB637.jpeg Great album of ‘60s covers.

A nice little mod today: The single 250K stereo TOCOS volume pot, has been replaced with my pair of early 1960s, NOS, switched Allen Bradley 250K mono pots. These old carbon pots last made an appearance on the pair of 2A3 monoblocks, I built in 2010, on a pair of aluminium guitar amp chassis. That p...

An eighties classic:
Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians - Shooting Rubberbands At The Stars.

Aye, “Picture Book” along with “Rosie Vela” were the the go to dem room records at Linn dealers. You also had to leave your digital alarm watch at the door, before they let you into the sacred space.


Now this is rather good!

Faberoonie! The Dolenz song, “Randy Scouse Git” (Alternate Title) remains wonderfully anarchic, even after 54 years.
