Sorry -thought your mate knew what he was talking about!

Failed to appreciate the subtle distinction between ;), :eyebrows:, and :lol:.


:doh:

I still have 2 pairs of B&W DM2 speakers, £20 a pair if interested, would make a great sound in your £100 systems. Also a pair of Musical Fidelity MC2 in black ash £20.00 also

Would my £49.99 system won on ebay before the 16th but not collected and paid for yet just make it in the rules?
If not does anyone want a Marantz CD75 II, Denon TU-660L, Arcam Alpha and Linn Index Plus for £51.

Alex,

I need a rules clarification Alex ;)

My whole system is file based (FLAC), so can I exclude the cost of my NAS & router, as it's shared across 4 sub systems?

In the same way that one would exclude the cost of CDs or Vinyl, and their storage racks from a conventional system. :eyebrows:

Otherwise my SB receivers are out of the equation.

Come to think of it my PC/tower is over 5 years old, and as it's officially worth nothing as far as the tax man's concerned (4 * 25% depreciation offset against tax)...I won't go negative! And I can play my FLAC from the local HD if necessary! :)

So my PC £0 (Winamp, ASIO, FFSoX upsampler) + £32(M-Audio Audiophile 2496 PCI Soundcard Ebay 2nd hand), £22(Mission 780SEs Ebay 2nd hand), £5(Belkin pure AV RCA interconnect Ebay), Muse M21 EX T-Amp (£35 inc postage Ebay), Maplins speaker cable (I had lying around, honest guvnor), Target stands (RSPCA shop £5, about 10 years ago)

= conveniently £99 (with a bit of reverse engineering ;)), we'll forget the Tacima mains conditioner for now...:eyebrows:

Edit; Just spotted the bit about postage, so I can knock £12 off that for the postage from china for the Muse, and £1.75 for the Belkin

Well you're all lucky i was preparing my dinner, i clean forgot about the damn speakers :doh: A refoam & away...

:eyebrows:

shame this wasn't a few weeks ago as I picked up a very nice Thorens TD150MKII for £10 and a set of Keff speakers for £5 from local charity shop and after a good clean up and set up sounds wonderful.
Im still looking for a 2nd amp to run this setup in my bedroom.

These look rather good.
Vox bass bins

I've been out and paid for and collected my £49.99 system. I was a little disappointed with the sound. I did a bit of cable swapping and it doesn't sound half bad. As the cables I swapped in are stuff I've had hanging around, and are against the rules, I now have £50.01 for cables and tweaks.

Nice one Mark. £49.99 sounds suspicious though - I hope you didn't misread the first post and buy an ipod dock from Tesco? :eek: ;)

Are you going to let us into any of your secrets?

I don't suppose my 'bargain' Celestions count (either of them)? :eyebrows:

Marco.
