I have been using Chromecast for six months now and I much prefer the server side streaming vs AirPlay. Its cheapness also makes it easy to get into many rooms.

Has anyone tried using an SPDIF...

This is a great and friendly forum. The only risk I here is feeling the urge to buy a Technics 1200 and work your way through the complete upgrade path. Its rewarding, but its a process...

If you've tried the stage and want to snap up a deal, or want to jump straight to purchase, I have an mint condition MM/MC Firebottle Plus for sale in the exhibitions thread.

Price drop £275 for this brilliant phono stage

Impressive project.

What colour is your room and the rest of your hifi stuff?

Matt black, safest option but looks great. Midnight blue can be cool. In the right space, white would be a great...

Price drop £300

£325 / €380 / 3750SEK + postage

Firebottle Plus MC/MM phono stage in black case.
Less than a year old. Less than 40 hours listening time.
It has been hardly used as it spent most of the year...

Wow, that Lyngdorf sounds brilliant. The reviews are particularly good and the room correction makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the tip! I'm just getting to know Scandi electronics.


The SDS-470C...

I stream most of my music, meaning the amp is on for most of the day. In this set-up a good Class D amp could make a lot of sense right?

For my vinyl, it runs through the Firebottle Plus stage, so...

There is a comprehensive walkthrough on YouTube. It's actually a bit complicated.

So just get something like this (from the other thread): http://www.britishaudiostore.com/metal-clad-mains-distribution-box-6-way/

And rewire the plug for Schuko EU plug?

I'm moving from London to Stockholm next month and wondered if there is a smart way to handle power sources for my HiFi?

Currently only my TT has an external PSU, all other items are mains powered...

Yep, keen to avoid the double of eBay fees and PayPal fees.

Is there a market for the original Technics parts you are left with after completing the upgrade path? I've got excellent quality spares of the:

_tone arm
_platter including magnet and covers...

More details about the new 1200's out today via Vinyl Factory:

I met someone who was using hospital ultrasound kit to clean record –*killed the labels but the return to sound he said was worth it. Wouldn't stick my stylus in there though.

Hey Scott, it's a glass/acrylic platter mat. Nagaoka has one. This is the Analogue Seduction version which looks to be a decent and cheaper copy.

Unlucky about the Reds today. I was hoping their...

Finally got the bits together, just in time for Record Store Day.

Is there a decent analogue rotary dial that would allow you to mix the output from two phono stages?

Cheers team. I knew it was bad but thanks for explaining why.

Just how bad is an RCA double adapter on sound quality?

I have two turntables and only one input in the phono stage.

An adapter like this...

Intentionally small initial run to generate PR? Even the follow up run of 900 units doesn't feel mass produced for an international product.

The 50th anniversary edition went on sale in Japan this morning for $3,300 each....

I've been told these are relatively rare to find second-hand, but perhaps you picked up this bargain amp and have now upgraded and want to offload?

Prefer the all black Darth-Vader version if...

I've got a new plan having read so many forums and reviews now.

Step 1. Find and buy XTZ integrated amp
Step 2. Sell Arcam FMJ19 + irDAC (should get more for them than the XTZ)
Step 3. Buy...
