    Let's see...

    Recap by Ditton 44s
    Recap the motor in my PL-71 turntable
    Build new crossovers for the speakers in my main system
    Build a proper music server (pc based)
    Storage for my music collection

    I have to fit all that in between renovating the house and landscaping the garden. Think I'll get any of the above done?

    I don't remember posting anything about tattoos but I may have done as I've got a head like a sieve, personally I don't like them at all in any shape or form..

    My main music plans for 2017 revolve around making the most of what I now have and stop wanting more. The purchase of more vinyl though will never stop.

    The 834 is seriously compromised by being a feedback equalisation design IMHO.

    Alan thanks for the heads up
    I don't know anything about Valve stuff TBH and just bought this kit from ebay out of interest

    Thanks Ali I know what you mean and I haven't like what I have heard in the past but Im curious by the latest Hypex NC500 stuff, may see if I can get a listen to some before committing to building

    I am going to build an active system with digital crossover. Firstly with some IMF TLS50 and then build some custom speakers (so much easier with DSP).

The aim will be to equal or better something like the JBL 4365 for a fraction of the price. DSP has the potential to deliver this, I reckon.

    That may take longer than just a year, though....
    Sounds like a great plan Martin, active amplification is something that interests me also
