I just cleaned the wax out of me ears and am now listening to Jon Lords "Durham Suite" sounds superb

WHAT, are you saying my attempts to beef up my Flymo's performance by having racing checker and go faster stripes was a waste of time, the bloody years I have wasted putting that stuff on all my...

Tannoy Cheviot's from 1976.

Acquired in Tannoy's 50th anniversary sale and made in South London at the original factory before the move to Coatbridge.

As to why, well they sounded good when I...

Funny

I am of the opinion that your final sum up is about correct:

"I suppose I've always thought if the laser is able to read a CD the sound will remain consistent unless the disk is subject to serious...

No just HDMI and optical.

Its an XA 003, guessing it's mid eighties and I think it's about 45w into 8ohm, nothing special but not a bad little amp.

As some of you know I was re-united with my old Hi-Fi gear late last year, it had been left in an empty house on an island some years before, it comprised of a pair of Tannoy Cheviots, a Quad 33/405,...

Born in Wandsworth, childhood spent in Battersea, many places in between, but now enjoying the flatlands (Don't like the hilly bits).

Welcome fellow Fenlander, I am just down the road in March.

Not telling you...……...

I have never forgiven him for splitting up the Faces over greed when it came to royalties.

Fed up with wires all over the place.

I may well try a visit to Analogue Seduction in Whittlesey (About 12 miles away) and get a listen to them both.

Don't worry folks, its already off my shopping list.


Probably going to end up with either the Quad Vena (Got it all input wise, but only 45w into 8ohm) or go for the best looking small footprint...

I think you need to think basics.

The point of Hi-Fi is to produce high quality sound, and even basic (Proper) hi-fi gear will do that, but the best way to look at it is to split the process into...

Does any one have one?

And care to let me know what they think of it.

I am currently running a Pioneer receiver with a pair of Tannoy Cheviots and an Xbox One X as my source, I did try my Quad...

Yes the Quad had it's input board modified by Quad many years ago for CD input.

I had been using it with various CD's over the years and it always sounded good (With the Tannoy's as well), even...

As some of you may have read in the past I wanted to use my Quad 33/405 amp with my Tannoy Cheviots and my Xbox One X.

I bought a Dac from another member and hooked it up. I have to say it sounded...

I listen to music mostly on my motorcycle. I use either of my phones to play .flac format music via a stereo Bluetooth headset mounted in my crash helmet that can also do phone stuff.

I probably...

Hope no one minds me going slightly OT.

Werner, how did you put that link to your Skype profile in your message?

What the feck has gone wrong with this country, gone to the bleedin dogs it has.


What on earth is wrong with a good cup of strong tea.

Bet it sounds like a dried up old prune.

And he still managed to spell it incorrectly desiccate is the correct spelling although as we know he means dedic.......

Just an update, I have cured the volume issue.

My source as mentioned is an Xbox One X (Plays, CD's, 4k Blu-Ray's, any form of online stuff like Netflix, Amazon, standard TV, FLAC format files and...

Many thanks for that, I can't remember the exact timeframe of events, I had moved to live on a small island in 1987, the Rotel blew up fairly early on and I bought the Quad's (Luckily for me the only...

Does anyone know what the four options are for this board that goes into my Quad 33 pre amp are, I know S1 is for CD or in my case my DAC, the other options are M1, M2 and C1, I seem to remember that...
