I am not going to tamper with the Bushmaster functionality and method of operation any time soon. It took ages to get it to perform as good as it does, so I don't want to risk putting that in jeopardy.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

And it sure as hell ain't broke! :youtheman:

Righto, need to investigate some way of raising some cash then I suppose ... You got any in stock still?

How much is the Bushmaster dependent on the quality of the transport in order to keep the qualities and musicality intact (especially that underpinning bass mentioned a few times already and boogie factor)? I am rather hoping a simple Squeezebox Touch will be 'plenty' enough to extract the most from the BM without being too extravagant.

Today I do. I can't guarantee that a week from now though. But don't push yourself financially at this moment in time, taking into account that you have an extra mouth to feed these days. The Bushmaster will still be around for a very long time yet.

The Bushmaster was designed with PC and media players in mind.

I'm in no desperate hurry and have a few bits and bobs to sell ... You have email anyway :)

It sounds pretty special with my Touch! :eyebrows:

It sounds excellent with my Touch and I have yet to build a power supply for it (the Touch, that is).

I’m relieved that now it’s possible to claim that better performance actually is existing without having to worry to become summarily executed by the AoS public. ;-)

I know you think it's purile Werner but surely not many British can pass that one over without laughing out loud .. :rfl:

Ahhhh... :rfl: stop it, you're killing me.. :lol: The imagery of some farcical hifi situation getting out of hand... the mind boggles

ahhh.... I've stopped now :rolleyes:
