Realised this morning that I'd accidentally selected ABBA Radio on my streamer :doh: Its been playing dodgy Swedish pop tunes all night!

Seems to work OK but do you think I've done any permanent damage?

No Martin, it will be fine providing you only want to play Abba through it in future :lol: - no problem.

You may be right - I'm playing Tina Dico at the moment and I swear that I can hear Waterloo playing in the background :lol:

It's the well-known digital pre-echo, that.

Really? There is an ABBA radio station?

The only damage you might expect from this thoughtless experiment is that in the future every track will be announced with a loud "Aaahaa!!!" followed by the annoying Alan Partridge voice.

:lol:

When I realised my error, I gave my mate Fernando a Ring, Ring and he said "Mamma Mia, you've got to send an SOS to those Dancing Queens on AOS and they will sort you out".

Thanks for your help, gotta go for dinner - Chiquitita (chicken Tikka) tonight :lol:

Oh dear,

How much ' money money money ' did that cost. I hope you've got water( in the) loo if you get the' Bjorns' later.

Hi Stan,

Just a little question about battery operation:

I have a 3000 mAh battery pack, so if the Bushmaster takes 200 mA (as per the manual), my calculation is that it should last 15 hours before needing to be recharged.

I usually leave my Bushmaster on all the time, so I guess that I need to use the smps and then switch to the battery when I want to supercharge the sound?

What is your experience with the 6800 mA pack? Do you leave your BM on all the time? If so, how often do you need to recharge?

Hope this makes sense,

UPDATE I've just connected a fully charged 3000 mAh pack to the BM and will leave if for 24 hrs to see how much charge is used in a typical 24 hr period. Will report back tomorrow evening.

Hi Martin,

I don't have my BM all the time. It only gets plugged in now and again. I have so many things to plug into and try out on just one battery power supply, and so many power supplies to try our on the BM. So I am overwhelmed with choices really.
But I do suggest that you don't keep the DAC permanently on when you are using the battery. Be energy friendly.
