Thanks Marchbanks, reply sent

Agree re 4 year old - Sam knows why ! Anybody want a B4 ? was working but doesn't have regulated power bits as I used Teddy regs, comes with Alps Blue, well used - £25?

Thanks for thoughts. I can copy data etc but where are internet favourites, passwords etc stored???

My current lappy is failing mechanically (principally the power socket is coming loose from the MB) and I will replace it soon with a basic machine, probably on Amazon Prime day. I would like to just clone everything from the old to the new, both will be / are Windows 10. Sam suggested using a...

I have a class D amp in the 'stand' part or Ergo IX floorstanders with balanced signal connection and mains. The amps are mounted on the ali back panel and there is no heatsink as such, the crossover is also in the stand. No worries (or expense) of speaker leads (thick maplins signal wire, all...

don't think I will bother then - thanks

Thanks guys, will have a look at Tidal in a few minutes. What is Roon ?

I am on Spotify Premium and think it is really good and apart from the radio I don't listen to much else. As of Wednesday I have got fast broadband (50 thingys) and wondered if there was anything better ??

Solved it - with help. Go to MyBT, turn on parental controls, wait for it to filter through (an hour or so). Go back into MyBT and turn controls off, wait again. I have no idea why this works but it does and as I said everything else worked fine on both the tv and the internet

Everything else on tv works, internet works everywhere else including tv, just Netflix on the tv

Have had phone / interweb problems which are now fixed, part of the problem was Linksys router died. It has now been replaced with a BT smart hub 4 and all is working well except Netflix which starts and then says it can't connect. Any ideas ?

Thanks MJS, will give it a try and not big bucks if it is no good. Looks like what I am looking for, only issue being that music laptop doesn't have a CD drive so will copy to a stick then install

The internet radio feeds suffer from dropouts which are very annoying so I am looking into a USB module for DAB which I can leave in place. Have scanned ebay but can't find anything, do you clever chaps know of anything ?

Like Julf I use class D with SMPS and it beat the famous and well renowned Hackernap (now sold) for SQ. Like Quantum Leaped I find it is easily to correlate weight with quality and for a conventional PA there is some truth in it but technology moves on. If you put my PA in a conventional 450mm...

Thanks Julf, not for me then as I don't use squeezebox devices. I use a small laptop running W10 with an MDAC, I use Spotify and J river as music sources and Edge to get me to the R4 site. Very pleased with SQ on Spotify and it is now my primary source
