TBH there is no substitute for insulation. But to get a good standard can be quiet involved. Attic insulation, thermal wrap of building and high spec windows, which may require new sills to be fitted? I'm not a fan of putting electrics in attics, as attic spaces don't normally have divisions nor smo...

Sounds like a very interesting project going on there Ivor. I don't have much to offer, but if I may I would suggest the batteries are kept away from the house. Lithium batteries if they overheat / go on fire they can be very difficult to extinguish. No point in spending money to save a few hundred ...

Currently listening to Kapnobatia........... by Atrium Carceri. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51bc3Ka-6OL._SY355_.jpg Cutting from Wikipedia as the description is most apt............ Atrium Carceri is typically described as dark ambient, black ambient and ambient industrial music. Similar to ...

Great stuff Fran, truly super photos there. I don’t feel so bad now about my own expenditure on hifi….. when I see those Hi End photos I realise a lot more money could be spent. Some really exotic stuff there indeed. Some items which caught my eye was the Tektron amplifier…. most interesting! For so...

TBH I don't buy much physical media or physical anything these days. I have not used my eBay or Amazon accounts now for perhaps more than a year. WRT LP / CD's I did buy from Norman Records & Infraction Records in the past. I have not bought anything from them in some time now, primarily due to ...

Yes it’s good to have a back up, listening to a CD can be very relaxing as distinct from hopping from song to song on a streamer. WRT the router, I wonder could the issue be the power supply, connection pins? Plug / socket / cable issue? Won’t have too long to wait before the new router arrives hope...

Intermittent faults can be difficult and time consuming to track down. I think the I22 is a class D Amplifier, so it is very energy efficient, but from photos of the internals on the www it has a number of internal pcb boards. Probably the fastest way is to start replacing boards until the issue is ...

IMO I think it would be better to leave alone. If you really want to know your BER rating you could estimate it yourself. Obtain floor area cert of the dwelling and your annual Electricity + Gas meter readings and do the calculation yourself. Granted it will provide a result for total energy usage, ...

The Gryphon stuff is pretty special all right. I had a listen to the Tabu AT which was in Cloney's a few months back. Probably the best amp in the shop at the time.

Serious Pedigree!!
