It's obviously a hijacked account with a decent reputation, so most likely the owner of that account is going to be the victim here if there is one. The scammer has probably found a way to get the money out leaving the genuine account holder to stump up the refund. I'm certainly glad I never...

These will probably do it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161015079778?mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338728743&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

Oh dear, somebody has bought it. I hope they've done that with no intention of paying,

It's back again! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276438440561?mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338728743&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1 I've reported it.

The "mono" modification effectively eliminates an unterminated twisted pair which is otherwise connected to the pre out. a slight "zing" is eliminated from the sound as a result. The cable itself can be upgraded. The standard thing is just a piece of mains flex. I've been using 1.5mm2 Van...

That's a very big room! Unfortunately most of the suggested starter systems suggested so far are just going to get completely lost in it. To get something acceptable within budget I think you need to be going a bit more retro. I'd be on the look out for a well sorted pair of Kef 104.2's and...

I once had an early Linn with exactly the same metal hinges and lid with a prop. I do think the later clear lids and self supporting hinges are a lot better despite the criticism they get.

DAC64 is on the Tuner input

Ah I forgot I have two Ortofon MC20's for rebuild though I suspect I'll let them go to somebody else.

I've got a rather nice pair of walnut SBL's that I've just sourced a pair of better bass drivers for so they'll be done shortly. Also have an amp I built into a PC that's been sitting on the bench for a while.

Sounds like the dac is on a different input from the one selected and you're hearing crosstalk (dac 64 has a huge output so this is very likely). Try cycling the input options (with the volume quite low).

Has she got the stack of records and CD's to play on it already? If not it's probably a completely wrong direction to go in these days. PC/Mac with Tidal subscription into the Topping DAC of your choice (DX3 pro plus would be a good choice) and a Genelec active system made out of a pair of...

Well you could spend the £150 the rewind payer costs on a better 'phone. You'd be astonished at what that would get you in the Xiaomi range! Sounds like it would be meeting at least one need the other two haven't got covered.

What??? Do you have a phone? Does it do Bluetooth? What sort of car stereo do you have that can't handle MP3 direct or MP3 via bluetooth on the 'phone? Presumably you must own a PC which can certainly rip to MP3
