    Speakers suggestions to match Exposure XVI?

    Theo, thank you. If I could find and afford a pair of MF7 I wouldn’t have been asking!

    Speakers suggestions to match Exposure XVI?

    Title says it all really! I'm running a streaming solution into an MDAC+ then Exposure XVIs. Currently have a pair of Spendor boxes on there but I feel they really could be bettered. What boxes would you be looking for?

    Best way to integrate audio throughout a home?

    It wouldn't actually put me off, but I need to be able to get Alexa to play tithings and whilst that's clearly a matter of software as the SBT can talk to the network, wired or wireless, software engineering isn't really my thing.

    Best way to integrate audio throughout a home?

    Thanks to all. The echo link mentioned by Adamdea looks to be the exact beast I was searching for - a networked preamp. I'll also explore the Sonos range (reassuringly expensive however)! I've found as I get older that the main thing is knowing what search term to use. In this case a...

    Best way to integrate audio throughout a home?

    Thanks for the useful stuff. Simply turning the knob to the right doesn't have quite the WAF that I was hoping for! Sonos roam is a speaker. I basically want to be able to connect a wifi enabled DAC (with volume attenuation) to a power amp. That way the speakers and power amp are up to me...

    Best way to integrate audio throughout a home?

    Anyone have any experience of this? I'm interested in setting up a smart home audio system that can play different (or synchronised) music in different zones (say three or four zones - as yet undecided) Is there a simple way to do this over ethernet or wifi and integrate it with the rest of...

    Apple Mac and Squeezebox and Catalina (latest Mac OS) - SOLUTION

    Yes, I had read this but wasn't getting anywhere fast. For what it's worth, when I was running a PC, a change of user caused the buffer to run out and the music to be interrupted. it usually cam back after a bit. The mac has no drop out with the solution I found and as the folder is shared it...

    Apple Mac and Squeezebox and Catalina (latest Mac OS) - SOLUTION

    Hi All, there have been some threads here and elsewhere on the relative merits of Catalina, and the Logitech media Server's inability to see libraries / scan music files. One poster said he would need to revert to Mojave (previous Apple OS) to get he hi-fi working again. I can't speak for...

    Moving from PC to Mac - need advice on music formats

    I'm just abut to have a new Mac mini delivered and getting my ducks in a row over the various things that will need to change moving everything from PC to the Apple ecosystem. Mostly I stream FLAC and have the music stored on the HDD and backed up in the cloud. I know I can stick with the same...

    Second chance Ebay offer

    Deals fall through all the time, usually, though not always because the buyer wants a reduction, or complains about the postage, or most usually wants something delivered for £1.50 when it's heavy and was listed as 'collection only'. So second chance offers aren't unreasonable.

    Cassette Deck repair

    Thanks for the suggestions. Further investigations lead me to believe that the deck is merely suffering from a severe lack of cleaning over its lifetime. Me: When did you last clean this? Dad: Ummm, not quite sure... Me (thinks): Actually, have you ever cleaned it? Dad: Ummm. No. So...

    Cassette Deck repair

    Hi All, my dad has a fairly old Sony 3 head cassette deck, a TC-K611S and it isn't playing as well as it might. The deck is making a slight humming noise, originally I thought it was mains hum but it isn't it's more of a mechanical clicking. When played, the tapes sometimes play well enough...
