    Diasabling the fan on a Synology containing only SSDs

    Looks like you'll be fine then. SSDs aren't actively cooled inside the close quarters of a laptop for example, at best they'll have a thermal pad with a flimsy bit of metal across. They can quiet safely take a bit of heat, most are self monitoring and will throttle if temps get too high. You'll...

    Integrated Amp Overkill?

    If your sticking with Rega I would definitely go with the Elicit. Would compliment the Aria stage very nicely and your M10s will appreciate it. I wouldn't worry about "overkill" in the slightest. The only curve ball I'd throw your way is a Yamaha AS1100 or AS1200 depending on your budget. Has...

    Korf Ceramic headshell

    I've not tried the Korf but have a number of other well known headshells with my GR and now G. The best fit I've found to my taste is the Oyaide HS-CF. More recently paired with a Nag MP500 and Sumiko Starling I would like to try the Korf among others but with so much money already spent on...

    Spotify strategy

    I don't subscribe to any of them. Only streaming I do is Nordic Lodge and Linn Jazz on the internet radio of my CXNV2

    Vinyl, car parcel shelf, sunshine = disaster.

    I went the whole hog and bought an ORB flattening machine. It's quite expensive but the cost of finding flatter copies would have cost a lot more. It's also taken away some of the anxiety of future online purchases. I figure also a flatter record is less strain on the stylus potentially...

    Black Ravioli? Record Ground

    Only weighs 195grams which surprises me. I'm willing to give things like this a chance but £750 is prohibitive. Putting any sort of object on the spindle of your turntable is going to effect the sound. It's up to the listener to decide if it was a positive difference and enough so to justify its...

    Steve Guttenberg sells his SME 15 for a Technics 1200G

    After the lack of interest I didn't bother to repost the ad. I wasn't able to advertise it here I think I have to be a more established member to do so. Might give it another try when we're back home. Seems a shame to have it sat there unused.

    Steve Guttenberg sells his SME 15 for a Technics 1200G

    I love my 1210G it replaced the my 1210GR which to be honest I would of kept if I didn't have G money. I was going to keep the GR for headphone listening but turns out it wasn't for me. I had the GR plus a good cartridge and some extras up for sale for a very reasonable price. No takers though...

    musical fidelity nuvista pre amp

    I have a Nu-Vista Vinyl phono stage and absolutely love it. Probably the single best upgrade I made of all the components and certainly a keeper. I can't comment on their preamp or any other Nu-Vista product but I really do love the smooth and rich sound it brought to my Vinyl setup. Tears of...

    Audiolab DC blocker

    I have a Yamaha A-S1200 with a large toroidal transformer which was giving off a noticeable hum. I was able to demo one of these audiolabs when they we're first released. It didn't make a difference at all. Later on I bought an ISOL-8 Mini Sub Axis which did. The hum is still there but you have...

    What Mains Lead

    I've tried a bunch of the arguably affordable mains cables, chord, monster, Russ andrews and so on. I'd say the RA cables had more of a negative effect, in fact my mains conditioners manual strongly advises against the woven types. (Maybe to help promote their own?) The only cable which truly...

    iFi Audio getting into the pricey power cables game....

    I use the ferrite infused QED XT5 mains cables. And that's about as far as I'll go with it.

    Technics SL1200g arm height query

    I use the Oyaide BR-12 Mat and the Oyaide carbon headshell with my SL-1210G. A level tone arm doesnt always mean a perfect SRA. In fact for a number of carts I've found a slight nose dive was best. There is always going to be a tollarance, thick Vs thin records, minor warps will absorb your...
