Got caught out selling a camera body on eBay a few years back. Got paid via Paypal & then the buyer collected. Next day the payment was reversed by Paypal as the account had somehow been hacked. Lesson learned....if receiving Paypal payment only mail to the registered Paypal address. Hope...

Had the P-3/P-1 combo....may still have them if ever get matrimonial issues agreed.....o_O Enjoyed them as a pair though I was forever having to reference the manuals as it was always tricky figuring what the various combinations of settings were (though still preferable to the bl**dy lights on...

Whether you consider these bargains or not is up to you (and probably only for the anal fans out there who are way behind the curve!!), but these do appear to be about the best prices for brand new unopened copies.... Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here & The Wall Immersion Box Set editions. £54.99...

Thanks for the suggestions all! Having dowloaded a couple of manuals from the OL website it is indeed a match for the Resolution Classic Turntable! Now to decide what to do with this....!! Already working on reviving my old Technics SP15 and looking for a nice new / restored plinth!

Have been given a few bits & pieces from an old turntable. The parts included the platter & bearing (suspect missing ball bearing) and what is presumably part of the chassis. The platter is about 23mm thick & looks like it's acrylic (frosted translucent white). I have no idea what turntable...

Certainly an option (although at full price it's more than I picked up the SACD for although I daresay i wouldn't get it at that price now ....that said ripping is a real pain!!). Probably about time I gave in and looked seriously at an on-line subscription. Have Amazon, but almost impossible...

That does seem to be the case. It's bizarre the 2011 remaster is not included in hi-res, given how lavish the immersion set is. If you want a hires version of the 2011 remaster, the sacd seems the only option.

Yes it is but it doesnt sound like its the same mix to me. To my ears it doesn't sound like it's the same mix as the 2ch 16/44.1 on the (Immersion) CD. And the Immersion CD sounds the same as the SACD (to me!). Maybe there are differences in the way my player presents Blu-ray vs SACD (it's a...

Be careful..... Just been given the WYWH Immersion Box set. I expected it to have all of the above but it doesn't have a hi-res 2ch version of the 2011 remaster. The hi-res 2ch version is a transcription of the 1975 original as far as I can tell. You essentially get: Original Album (2011...

Dont forget postage cost & insurance are added to the price of goods before VAT is calculated i.e. you pay VAT on the shipping expense too. One of the changes that came in at the same time as Brexit is that ALL imports attract VAT and duty regardless of cost. Low Value Consignment Relief no...

On a 6month trial of Music HD. As everyone else has said it does seem completely pointless to offer an HD service (yes most is 44.1 but do have quite a lot of 96 & even 192 material) but offer no way to stream this other than via PC. I do agree that the quality of recording trumps the...

Squeezebox... Receiver (no display) or Classic or even a Touch. All have digital out (the Touch up to 192 on spdif & USB). Control via Android device which doubles as a display. And can add a separate display & use the "Material" skin on a larger tablet to display whats playing. Never...

.... DeLorean kind of way... Yeah now you mention it....!!

Not entirely clear from the ad but it looks like it comes with the stand alone power amp too. Have fond memories of my old Nytech / ARC active system wich sounded superb and rivalled the Linn / Naim kit at a much lower price.
