Good aren’t they? I recognise your avatar, do/did you have a Mytek BB?

The RCCB is more commonly known as an RCD and is usually a double pole unit often used as a main switch in a board to provide fault protection (in TT where EFLI is too high for MCBs to operate) or additional protection where required to a number of circuits, but requires circuits to be fitted...

I have Neat Iota Alphas around 30cm from the wall and they’re fantastic. Detailed and holographic with the right amps, I can only imagine how good the Xplora’s are.

Residual Current Circuit Breaker. More likely to be the double pole main switch in his Consumer Unit if it’s rated at 100A. This suggests that he’s already on a TT supply as he’s also mentioned he’s out in the sticks. If he is on TT he already has an Earth Electrode and he’s doubled up with his...

He’s brought a potential difference into the property by the sounds of things, electrical demons…

You could have just bought some shaver sockets…

How about something like a Technics SA-C600 and a used P3 with a set of nice MA BR2

I’m assuming you’re in NZ, what kind of brands are available to you? I’d be tempted to look into a network receiver if you use Spotify as you like to keep things simple. You could stream Spotify from your amp using your phone as a remote and remove the PC from the chain altogether if you wanted...

Mytek Brooklyn Bridge with the added bonus of a built in streamer, 1 analogue input and loads of digital inputs to feed its quality dac

I have an Onkyo P360rs/M560rs set powering them, the 306 was playing up, so swapped out for a Mytek Brooklyn Bridge. The soundstage is excellent, the girls providing the doops on Walk on the Wild Side sound as though they’re in front of you. Mine are only 6ft apart, either side of a sideboard...

I love my Alpha’s, not lacking in anything other than a big daft box! Surprisingly good for their size

Kralk’s Facebook page has disappeared too. I was always tempted to go for a listen as they’re only up the road, sadly looks like I won’t get a chance now. I do remember seeing some out board crossovers and cabinets he made for some big old JBLs (IIRC) and thinking they were beautiful

Mytek Brooklyn Bridge including a studio class DAC and built in streamer, even has a phono stage which may or may not better your Fono
