If you have to ask..... ;)

Yep, typical PFM flame war ;) But, to wrap this up, I'll just leave it as a separate install, since it'll be driving tiny loads for efficient LED bulbs on a timer (external) or switched (internal). 200w panel, 110Ah LB (albeit a bit tired, but will replace with a better battery when it...

Those were my thoughts too, but I wanted to check I wasn't missing something fundamental.

Assuming it is the same case as the CDT2 mk3 I had - and it sure looks like it - I can confirm that it's a superbly put together unit, weighing around 17kg and with a lovely standard of fit and finish. It is quite a big box, and needs to go on the top of a rack etc., unless you have a lot of...

It does. Just wasn't sure if it was allowed to connect a separate 12v system to a mains earth, at least in the way that I think you mean. Though I'm struggling to think of a good reason why not.

For clarification, the 230v AC is mains, via an armoured cable from the main house consumer unit. The 12v system is just a simple project, no intention to be used for anything beyond lighting, as there's no need (230v AC available). This is not by any means a project of 'necessity', just a 'I...

Very quick one. I'm adding a solar panel, MPPT charger and a spare leisure battery to build a simple off-grid shed power system. I just wondered how this should be earthed. For info, the shed also has 230v AC but I had the spare charger and battery and am picking up a solar panel. The plan...

Oh, I know all too well (I live very close to there). It's a better place to live than in the city, for sure, and handy for both commuting and the great outdoors. If you are ever up for a pint in the Forrester's Arms, ping me :)

Before anyone confuses this with the CDT2 mk3 (which I recently sold here), this is the model up. It looks almost identical, but this model is significantly more expensive than the CDT2. I too sold mine due to lack of use (I downgraded to a Cambridge Audio CXC mk2 and there's no doubting that...

Where's that then (the village you're staying in, that is)?

Crazily enough I'm starting to wobble on my desire to have a Q3. My Q2 is still basically in near mint condition, and I've established that I love shooting with the Q2 and am very tempted to sell it whilst it hasn't lost too much value (I bought it used in mint condition so I shouldn't lose too...

Could be interested in this as I don't own a flash for my X...

P8 here, but recently switched to my AT33 PTG to see if I prefer it to the Apheta 2. Jury's out, simply due to lack of listening time lately...

If you're very lucky you might just about reach to a used SPL Phonitor mk1. An incredible headphone amp which will scale way beyond your current headphones should you upgrade. The Mk2, which I use, is also an incredibly good preamp, albeit definitely over budget, but if you just want to use it...

Hopefully okay, maybe on holiday or focusing his attention elsewhere?
