Peachtree Audio Deepblue

Have never heard, but for £300 there's much better options. What's the requirement?

Self contained unit for sitting in between our kitchen / dining room.

Bluetooth connectivity.

Ability to go loud and ideally more bass than the standard Bluetooth speaker (that's what attracted me to the Deepblue)

Hmm, go and listen to a few if you can. These all in one units tend to fall apart sound-wise when the volume goes up.

Have you considered powered Active speakers. Ok, not all in one, but all the wireless electronics and amp incorporated into the units and will offer better sound.

Connect to your phone easily via BT or wired. Definitely room filling. We use them in the office and they're good.

otherwise Cambridge Audio Blutone 100 OR AIR 200 (for bigger sound)

Not saying you Shouldn't buy the Peachtree, but maybe go and listen if you can.

Headphones for DJ bidniz:

At first I was like

And then I was like

Audio Technica ATH-M50

Possibly can find under budget with shopping.

I've got this, obviously DAB radio with bluetooth connectivity,
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roberts-Blutune-Bluetooth-System-iPhone/dp/B008RY6I3E

but it's loud enough, and not wallet scorchingly expensive,

or the version two up from that, which is closer to your budget.

this is expensive, but looks kind of future proof, with dlna etc

or this which is cheaper then the revo, but still has wi-fi and bluetooth connectivity

hd25 are fine certainly got punch , tend to tire your ears out and are quite tight , hd25sp rather good too you can angle them anyway you want ( i usually have mine hanging off one ear resting on my shoulder) but i have replaced every part of these headphones over the years apart from the plastic band + and the drivers . they also used these headphones on concorde flights "property of BA" stamped on them ......

lost on these young whippersnappers

When does yours arrive?
I'm trying my best to resist. Just tidied up my cables and relocated a speaker last night, so maybe I need a new amp too?

OK so I have to use a hire car (someone fuxxored my car whilst parked outside my house). It doesn't have a cd player! Gutted. Can't really be bothered to figure out how to get my phone to connect to the car's computer thingy. And I bet radio 3 & 4's not even stored on it cos garage monkeys only ever tune in commercial radio - which to me is all unlistenable.

Bah I'm really starting to hate this century. I want to throw away all the computer rubbish in my life and this phone and grow some veggies and cook them.

Retrogrouch thread >>>>

lol the funny is I bought legf a blue one of the first phone.

Bring me up to the 21st Century pls.

Thanks @gios78 and Kev for the HD25 seal of approval.

Also thanks @TRA for different recomendation!

Got to love the LFGSS hive mind, that Revo unit looks the mutts nuts.

Better keep saving!

I'm going to offload my full working order Pioneer SA-508, any buyers?

If you want to save then there's only one real option.

Naim Muso, sounds excellent and has the sweetest volume/control wheel.

A thing of beauty. Why can't people design nice looking HIFI stuff anymore?

@damo

you mean @Chalfie

Yes. Please.

Here y'go, clicky looky.

It runs from 'finished' backwards to pile of bits and drive units in boxes.

NNNNNNGHHHHHHH

Yes.
How much?
I will weep and not be able to afford.

Nice. I now want to take mine apart. You are prob a chap who knows, if anything needs replacing on mine what would it likely to be? ie, what deterorates first? Think mine have been running for the last 30 years and might need a refurb.

Yes.

Was tempted to buy a Dieter Rams Snow White's Coffin and be all cool and funky then realised I should really just find something much cheaper and with better sound, si there much about in turntable land anymore? All new models seem to be converters or "retro look"? I've not been paying attention enough for the last few years.

You are prob a chap who knows, if anything needs replacing on mine what would it likely to be?

Wrong chap here I reckon, I've barely had mine running for 30 hours yet let alone 30 years so nothings fallen off yet!

Now that looks serious. Not sure if I can sneak that into the kitchen claiming it cost a couple of hundred quid....
