    A mainly digital setup with a musical amplifier and endearing 1970's speakers. A CD player that hardly ever gets used and a turntable that is good enough to remind my how enjoyable my old vinyl is. Some cables and things.

    Paul Hynes and Nick Gorham are the most well known and are highly praised.

    Do you just leave it plugged in and turn it off/on at the plug socket as necessary?

    I have two Inline switches, one for power to the battery, the other to the RPi. I switch the power to the battery off when using the RPi and on when charging the battery (the RPi is Switched off when charging the battery).

    Where do you buy these inline switches please?

    And why the need for one between powerbank and Pi - any reason not to have it connected while charging?

    I've tried my Ifi Ipower with a splitter cable and it works fine, but not convinced it was better than powering through the USB C connect on the Allo Boss.
