Fair point!

This is fun. Your man specified £500, remember

Warning - I too was seduced by the hype around Chord, and finally bought a 2Qute. Very clear sound, but after you have marvelled at the detail, you slowly begin to realise something is wrong. Its not just the lack of weight and tonal colour in instrumental tones - your ear adjusts to that. Its...

Based on LONG experience, I'd say - 1) The best cheap dac I've ever heard is the Musical Fidelity V90 - the Colloms review in the up market mag HiFi Critic sums it up 2) Chord dacs are all tinkle, tinkle, tinkle: analytical to a fault and ultimately not musical. Look how many are for sale second...

I’m using a Temple Audio Bantam gold - with an equally small Kingrex preamp on my desk. The power amp has delighted me with its grip, bass power and infectious musicality. The first track I played was by Salif Keita, and it had me up out of my chair and dancing! Talk about PRAT!

KIMBER 8TC with bananas, just over 2 metres, £200 + postage?

Hello! I was just about to list a Kimber Select 2120 AES in its original carry-case. 0.5 meters (0.6 tip to tip). Excellent condition. I can send photos if you like? PM to discuss further. And Happy New year!

I’ll second the recommendation for the Musical Fidelity V90. Martin Colloms review in Hi-Fi Critic says it all. I have two! One only works on USB and optical ( not coax). With its own power supply, I’d sell it for £75?

Hello! Are the Oyaide an analogue pair, or a single digital AES lead?

No worries! I have been very impressed by their Neo S type USB - did you ever compare the two?

Do you still have the Oyaide?

Hello! I'll take all the RCA adaptors? I'll PM now

Hello! I have slowly stopped taking my SLR's out, except on very special occasions... but found a wee camera I use all the time, with consistently good results. It's the Fujifilm X30. I had the X20 and loved it: small, metal bodied Leica style camera with an optical viewfinder and an amazing...
