It's a good start to the day when you find a Kock Marshall Trio live video in your Youtube feed.
It's even better when Tom Bukovac has agreed to sit in for a spell.

The guitar is playable enough as is - I'd prefer the action to be a tad lower, but that's splitting hairs.
I don't like struggling with higher than necessary actions.
It will be sorted tomorrow.

One thing that really hit me is how loud the instrument is - I don't play hard, and this guitar really ...

Rain stopped play - my gooseneck is too stiff
Play shall resume tomorrow when I will have a bendier one

I was bored yesterday, and having found out that they have Furch guitars in stock I went to my favourite music shop in Morecambe to have a play.
This was the only one I played https://www.promenademusic.co.uk/furch-vintage-pure-om-sm-a-acoustic-guitar/, and it has come home with me.
A tune up, and ...

I looked online at some pictures of the model he says it is but none are in the really dark wood that his are made from.

Most odd!

I looked too, and couldn't find any on Martin's site.
Could be that it's an older variant that's no longer made.

The dark ones are normally all mahogany, and the ...

Maybe the body is a touch slimmer - there won't be much in it, but it'll be something you'd notice.

Aah!

No it wasn't that one in the video, it was a standard non-cutaway acoustic shape, and dark brown in colour.

...but that says its a dreadnought. I play an Epiphone Hummingbird ...

Mmmmmm!
There are loads of guitars in the Road Series.

Was it one of these?

We've been up near Liverpool visiting my bro-in-law. He plays guitar, very well actually.

He's recently got a Martin acoustic, it's the most awesome acoustic I've ever played, it plays like every note is the same volume. Some magic and mirrors going on I think, or maybe it's just a very nice ...

Are you using it with the inbuilt SMPS, or have you cooked up something special?

I believe that all the WiiM devices, Mini excluded, play nice with LMS.
Have you had an Ultra to play with Nick?

Parts arrived and are now cobbled together.
There was no black lead, but there was a twist of bare metal strands, which I guessed were likely to be ground.
Continuity testing performed confirmed my guess to be correct.
A brief while with the soldering iron ensued, and the result does what it's ...

Cheers Nick
Parts are turning up tomorrow.

As the thread title says. More for Nick G really.

I bought one of the WiiM streamers, and it integrates very nicely with LMS.
Its power input is USB C, and I have one of Nick's LDA LPSUs for use with the SBT.
Is there an adapter that will fit the LDA jack, and put it through a USB C connector ...
