    Pics of your pets (part III)

    I've got a couple of mates with a Willy's Jeep. Both have said I can have a go and for whatever reason I haven't yet done it. I really should...

    Transcriptors Skeleton - Help!

    The main digital system has always been going. The analog bits of the system was moved over into the barn so that he could have an independent vinyl system with his Quads. However we turned that into an AirBNB and decided to move the turntable and vinyl back to the house simply because of their...

    Camera for college student?

    Depending on budget the Fuji X-T series might be a good shout. I've got my dad's old X-T1 and I bought an X-T4 which I suppose are the opposing ends of the scale for the X-T Series. What's good is that they have the feel and form of a classic camera, lots of old traditional style knobs but with...

    Transcriptors Skeleton - Help!

    Yea from what I can understand the DSP controls the bass in the Martin Logan Summits and the the panels are controlled by the STA25. This is after dad modified the Summits... Thankfully, in his wisdom he did document a lot of his Hi-Fi activity on here which has proved extremely useful. If only...

    Hello fellow photographers...

    Whilst I completely agree with you on that one, unfortunately this was a clients car and I had to collect it from storage, go to the airfield location for the photoshoot (Enstone) and then back again. I drove it again a few weeks later but on one of the same roads so didn't really count...

    Hello fellow photographers...

    Yea most of my experience with this car was between Great Tew & Burford, so across Enstone, Charlbury etc. There were glimmers of greatness, but without doubt my old Lotus Elise would have left it standing in such conditions.

    Streaming: Remastered vs. General/Original recordings…

    Interestingly a friend of mine was involved in the remastering process of that album. He said that firstly that it felt like absolute sacrilege to be doing such things, but ultimately his mortgage wasn't going to pay itself. And secondly that at the end of the project, no matter how much love...

    Hello fellow photographers...

    In the defence of the 456 I think if I were to drive it to the south of France I'd probably fall in love with it. But the bumpy Cotswolds roads really showed it's short comings. Didn't help that this particular car locked me in, on two separate occasions owing to a 40p plastic clip inside the...

    My best shot

    This is what I use as a main 'promotional' shot. It's edited but not massively, and the lighting on the car is real natural light. It was just perfect golden hour conditions, with a storm rolling in but clear skies behind me on an old runway. I'm quite conflicted by this photo because I love the...

    Pics of your pets (part III)

    I apologise in advance... this thread could easily get overly populated with pics of my dog. This should give an insight to her below average brain cell count...

    Hello fellow photographers...

    Hello all, I have only joined PFM this week but my late father @JemHayward was, as it appears, a well known and long standing member of this community. I joined to get some help with his hi-fi but I think I'll be sticking around for the photography. Bit of background... being my fathers son...

    A Drone

    Yes I have a couple... I own a commercial media agency specialising in automotive so the drone's get used a lot. They're a bit of a minefield, especially with regulations and legalities... In a nutshell you cannot fly any drone that weigh's more than 250g without a CAA licence. You also cannot...

    Transcriptors Skeleton - Help!

    Indeed it does. I've had a look today for two spare XLR cables knocking about in the 'rats nest' as he called it but couldn't see anything. I think what he did was separate the two systems and had one totally analog setup in the barn, and a digital system in the house. There only appear to be...

    Transcriptors Skeleton - Help!

    Ah apologies, I didn't get a photo of it. I'll be popping over tomorrow between meetings at which point I'm going to dismantle the boxes and photograph the circuit boards to see if we can figure this out. I didn't want to start taking boxes apart whilst step-mum was around as she'd have...

    Transcriptors Skeleton - Help!

    Ok so I've plumbed everything up including the volume control now. However I have subsequently found this box which looks like it might be something to do with it. This to me appears to be some sort of speaker output as it has XLR's for what I'm assuming are the inputs and then speaker posts for...
