"Leave Nothing as Standard"
I've fancied copying my 24/96 high def recordings to DVD Audio and so i've bought this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Which will let me play them on my system upstairs, it also plays SACD which might be handy too, have any members come across this player and if so what's it like?

Having collected a pair of Spendor SP1's from a dealer this morning, the last thing I need is another pair of 2 cubic foot vintage speakers, wouldn't you think?
Well, this is certainly a record for me - never bought two pairs of speakers in the same day before!!!
RAM 150 Speakers won on ebay for £56
As a bit of background, I was "dragged up" in Norwich, where RAM were based, and so for nostalgic reasons, fancied a pair of these. They will probably be used in my sub-£100 Cheap As Chips Challenge entry - but it will be interesting to see how they sound, and of course, you ain't in with the in crowd around these parts unless you have a Techie Turntable, Caiman DAC, Mark Grant cables and the latest must-have - ABRs! I reckon they will be a bit of a bargain, but who knows?
(Anyone got a spare RAM badge tucked away in a draw, BTW?)
All good fun, innit?![]()

My guess is that Andr'e will know exactly where to find a matching badge.

It's in absolute mint condition too, it really knocks spots off my old Pioneer CD player.
it may end up in my sub £100 set up along with the Trio KA-80 amp i got recently, took the top off the amp when it arrived and to be honnest they don't make um like they used to springs to mind, for what i guess at the time would have been a mid range jap box, it's got 2 transformers 1 for each channel i guess, a nice simple PSB which strangly is mounted upside down so all the components are the wrong way up, but it does mean that they suffer much less with dust, and the face plate is a nice slab of brushed aluminium, and it sounds really good too, all in all i'm a very happy bunny![]()
