I have built completely new cabinets for my Studio 66's and kept the spec identical to the original 18mm chipboard cabinets. Recapped and made them tri-wireable so tri-ampable (is that a word..). I...

If you add up what a decent preamp will cost as well as an external DAC then it is good buy, if a little painful when handing over the £400. The Mojo is a remarkable bit of kit, makes music. Doesn't...

Should think the 2b will respond to the same power supply treatment, I'm trying to get the Pi3 setup to as far as I can and have to say it has surpassed my expectations especially with Tim's Moode...

It's really worth trying to battery power the HAT separately from the Pi3, only needs 3.3v, it does things to the sound, reinforces every note gives more dynamics and just makes the whole image more...

Hi Grant

Here's the one I prefer using as it has a really nice LED display to reassure you the Pi3 gets the correct voltage, as the battery drops voltage over time the buck convertor will keep the...

Hi struth

That's interesting about the artist order, I'll try to rescan the drive as it's one folder with all the albums. I notice you're using battery psu with your Pi. I've been getting really...

Hi struth

I realise that the browse allows the albums to be added, this is the way I do it at present, but it would be good to use the library to allow albums to be chosen as a whole, it was just...

Hi Guys

I updated to Moode 3.6 yesterday, and as Tim suggested, I did this within the player under System then check for update, it took less than 10mins, more like 5 and I was back in business...

Hi Luke

I've been running the Pi3 at 384kHz upsampling with no heatsinking added for two days now, five-six hours continuously I get 55-60 degrees showing on the 'audio info' panel - shown at the...

Thanks for the invaluable advice Tim, I've been busy checking what happens on the scan via the shh terminal session on my Macbook. It really is quite a busy process and very helpful to see what...

Thanks for the rapid reply Tim

I'll recheck the offending albums on the USB HDD, they could have been corrupted when I copied them over.

I'm on a Mac and I'm getting this in terminal:

Hi Tim

I've been using the latest Moode 3.5 for a few days now, sounds wonderful through my main system using rebuilt vintage Leak TL12+ valve monoblocks from the 1950's and refurbished Celestion...

Been a while since my last posting, just to keep you updated on progress I've been listening to the 66's with the crossovers externally mounted tri-wired to the drivers and the original wiring which...

Thanks Geoff and Jamie

Haven't applied any finish to the cabs yet, just want to listen to them as it's taken months to get them sorted with one delay after another. I'm going for a...

Well it's taken some time but I finally got the new cabinets together, using external crossovers for now for ease of access, but have placed T nuts at the base of the back to allow easy mounting...

Hi Darren

Checked my profile settings and they weren't on receive private messages by default, corrected that now. Many thanks for the reply and the advice.

Having thought about it more I ...

Hi Darren, I've just checked back on the post and Jamie also asked about the MF500's, don't want to step on any toes, please let me know what the score is guys.
thanks

Hi Darren

Any thoughts on the MF500's and the spare inductors, they would allow me to get my centre sorted?

I've said this before but I think you have to have some faith that a well established loudspeaker company, such as Celestion, would have listened to the speakers with the crossovers in situ, with the...

Thanks for the comments Paul

I'll try to implement those tips when I eventually recap the 66's by moving the orientation of some of the inductors so they interact better and, of course, when I...

Thanks for your views on centre speaker implementation, I would be looking for 44's as a second hand pair for sure but for the fact carriage to Malta is difficult and expensive especially for bulky...

I think this definitely means I should keep the original crossovers as untouched and have a good listen first then try to change components in stages.
Sounds like the bass and mid section benefit...

Hi Darren

I have a pair of Celestion Studio 66's (given to me) which I have had to make new cabinets for, currently still finishing the panels off, as the originals were badly water damaged at the...
