Thank you all once again for your replies and condolances. I'm Becky, Tim's daughter (AKA the person who had to help him carry all the many, MANY speakers in and out of the house over the years). I've put together a list of equipment that we need to sell, with a couple of questions about some...

Thank you everyone who has posted mesages. My Step daughter Becki is in the process of compiling a list which she will post along with photos once its complete. For any one who fancies taking a look at it in person we are in Bradford. Once again many thanks

Hi - I am the Ann part of Tim-Ann. I'm sorry to say that Tim died just before Christmas leaving me the headache of selling off his audio equipment. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing and could do with some honest advice from forum members. The best case scenario would be for someone...

Auralic Altair might be worth a look at and you can use Roon. I've just purchased one and I'm impressed by its versatility mine is connected to my ATC’s via balanced. Tim.

Hi, sorry I've been away Network meltdown, now got a bit more time. If I download from Apple it is in 256 compressed version now I'm not sure what Apple does but in iTune you can create a AIFF version which is obviously still compressed but size wise it is 1411. However i also have an option...

Hi, a very senior moment there I tend to buy from Apple as a download create an AIFF format version if I really like the music I then source a CD quality download or CD from various sources. I then bring this into JRiver MC21 and convert to an Apple format either as an AIFF or ALAC and of...

Hi there, YES but only on purchases, not on Apple Music and of course iTunes match only provides 256 and cannot be converted. Tim.

Andy U because when you buy anything from Apple it comes to you in a 256 format but iTunes gives you the option to create the bought product to AIFF 1411 and trust me it is far better than Apple Music's 256 offerings, don't forget you cannot create an AIFF from Apple Music or iTunes match, so...

I've had Quboz, Spotify, Deeser, Tidal and now Apple Music, to my ears there are differences between these providers, but for us in the UK it is the rip off prices being charged for their services, so I've ditched all bar Apple Music, Family sharing so I can have a listen at 256 if I like it I...

Hi, have you tried the NoMachine App it's free. Tim.

Hi there, I'm in West Yorkshire not far off the M62 with 150's if that is of any use? Tim.

Hi, could you not turn the room around and have the speakers on the open door with radiator wall that way they could be pulled out or is that going to lead to a divorce? Good luck, Tim.

Hi, James one total knee replacement taking far longer to heal than anticipated, not good but plenty of listening going on. Hope to be travelling northwards and poping in for a Glasgow curry later on in the year and listening to the new deck. Speak to you soon, Tim.

Hi, Vital spikes are better and like you we live in a Victorian house so I've got my 150's on 4 layers of Mana and I can certainly hear a difference. But before the Mana I tried them without spikes got them into the postition I liked then spiked them there was a difference but the spikes do not...

Hi, no a parachute accident many years ago so even more worried about stubbing my stubs. No sympathies needed, no athletes feet problems and only two nails to trim. Enjoy your system when I've time I'll have to pop up for a listen as I head for James house to listen to the new turntable it...
