Audiophiles hifi appreciation thread old and new

Because you like the sound of distortion?

I kid.

I'm quite enjoying my Revo Superconnect. Much bigger sound than the size suggests and not got that Sonos/Bose hollow/DSP'd to fuck bass thing going on.

amen brother.

i am going to take a lend of a valve pre/power amp shortly and see if i like it. i am really worried about getting into it and the inevitable black hole of valve knobbery.

just going to listen for a while, though. i have spent enough recently.

I want to have a crack at building a pre with one of the chi-fi kits. just as a learning project.

Because you like the sound of distortion?

No.

I aspire to one day have an instagram account and I think a hi-fi with cool lights will help me get likes.

Cheers.

Your point about having an HD backup just got me thinking about whether I could multi-task(?) whatever I get.

Also this seems like a good place to ask, but does anyone have a mini system with a audio-in they don't want?

I'm after something cheap and small to go in a shed for turbo training and workshop tinkering.

Old PC speakers could be an option too.

Cheers.

To be honest, I don't think the Apple solutions are worth their money these days... I got mine a few years back referbed or second hand... £100 for an Express can jog on... £200 for an extreme can double jog on and according to the rumour mill the teams behind them have been let go so don't expect updates or evolution...

Hi @Apone, I'm tempted by this QED gizmo, but does it support playback through apps other than its proprietary software? For example can you stream from YouTube, Safari, Spotify etc? Thanks.

This is better!

I managed to jipofix the 2 quite easily. I got music! From both systems! At the same time!

I cannot explain how amazing it is to have everywhere enfused with my music! (obviously not forcing others to experience it)

External WiFi adaptors are the next scratch pad or rotating pizza plate. It will be looked upon like what you see here in a few years.

"OMG... You haz an original Chromecast? I be, like, i want one! I haz a Pure, an I know dey're shit!"

@BRM - turntables are meh

Old school bantz😉

Have you been drinking?

Oh don't forget to check your cc audios are set to 'full dynamic range' in the chromecast app or whatever it's called now.

your mp3/streaming/phone speaker chat is meh

:)

Lol

In other news, these Chromecast audios are amazing! Everything I thought they were not! Music everywhere!

Pure Jongo - Fuck no
Google Chromecast Audio - fucking yes!

And did you check to make sure you're sending full range audio to them?

it's like watching your mum discover emojis

I can't find such magic. It doesn't give me the option.

Any chance of a screen shot?

Shush you

Have you got the Google Home app?

This is like being tied to a tree and watching a unicorn bleed to death...

All sorted boys!

BRM , stop your weeping...

Ha!

Ignore BRM. Chromecast rocks.

All those amps and speakers I had in storage got a new lease of life for £15 a pop.
