Not my thing at all... I like equipment that looks as if it should be in a science lab, and big wide speakers made of wood:) Marco.

OK for those that only have 5 CDs. :lol: The speakers look elegant though. There was a time when B&O gear was wrongly dismissed as 'Habitat...

Tonight's tea... Salmon poached in tinfoil with vegetables agrodolce, sprinkled with fresh coriander: Marco.

Iz yoo takin' da piss, boy?:lol: Marco. P.S Do you like prawns?

Cheers, mate. I do like a good toast, though:) Marco.

That does look pretty cool. My brother's ex-partner had one of these set ups. I never got to hear it though.

NEC CD-803 (1982): https://www.thevintageknob.org/nec-CD-803.html Upright CD players are long overdue a comeback. Someone needs to tell the...

I remember those Sonab speakers. I never heard any, and had no desire to. They would have to sound pretty special to justify those looks. They just...

And at least on a par with the beans on toast I had. Not just any beans on toast mind, but microwave-heated Branston beans on Ninja toaster-toasted...

Very nice, far better than the ham and tomato toastie I had for lunch.

Most modern speakers today are total rip-off. I can sort of understand why some people turn to DIY. S.

£500 probably doesn't buy anything special in the way of speakers these days Shane. I'm thinking the sound quality I'm getting might cost more. ...

Nope. We ate around 7pm. I debated whether it was worth posting given the earlier post on this, then gave way. This one was great, but the...

Justers, did you eat that at the same time as you posted the pic? If so, it was a late tea!:) Marco.

A mustard sauce would go equally as well:) Marco.

You reckon your DIY speakers sound (at least) as good as commercial speakers costing £500? S.

Dry overnight and dry at the moment , 12c.

Rained in the night again, sun is out now but forecast is showers all day.

Dry and bright, but a bit on the cool side.

13C and cloudy.

More fish finger wrap madness...
