Re: Dutch & Dutch 8c

Never heard of them but they do look interesting. Clearly the onus is on you now to buy a pair and report back here.

Re: Time to say...... Goodbye?

Will be sad to see the place go but can understand the decision. I've met many great friends over the last 20 years be it here or the previous Cloney forums.
Huge thanks to Fran for keeping it going over the years.

Re: Dublin HIFI Show 2023

Spend a few hours there this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it. Firstly it was great to meet Ivor, Fran, Tony, Fergus and Claus again. Hadn't seen most of you in years. Hopefully it wont be as long till the next one. I was really curious going into this, especially being a Stax user for the last 5 y...

Re: Dublin HIFI Show 2023

Looking forward to this. Must be over 10 years since I was at the last one.

Re: Speakers I have owned over the years, what about you?

First pair of proper speakers were Monitor Audio Silver 8i's. They were part of a 5.1 system. Brilliant for movies but lacked a bit a finesse for music. I had the MA's for years but after being corrupted by this forum, I chose a pair of B&W804's over some ProAc's. A considerable step up in perfo...

RIP Glenn Croft

Just saw on a few other forums that Glenn Croft has passed away last weekend. Think there is a few Croft owners here.

Re: Computer guidance needed

Off the top of my head, 2k seems a lot but I dont know what exactly you need here. I take it you don't need a powerful GPU so I'm guessing an integrated CPU/GPU would do? How many PCI-E lanes on the motherboard do you need? I used to get a lot of my parts from overclockers.co.uk but Brexit put an en...

Re: Computer guidance needed

That's very impressive Simon and quite the project to take on. Do you have a chimney stack in the house that could be converted to a 32ft bombard? Just sayin... Anyway, if you need any advice on the PC building part do let me know as I've built several high end PC's over the years. They are pretty e...

Re: Keep the CD Player (as backup)

If you're having persistent network/wireless issues then might be worth giving Kable Kings a buzz. I think these guys used to work for UPC at one point and then went out on their own. Check out their Facebook page and online reviews, seem to get high praise. I keep meaning to get them out myself to ...
