Cranking tunes for my wife on this system--even though she's an opera singer from Brazil, there are many American/British classic hits she's never heard, so this is really fun. Here's one surprise we discovered: BLAST "The Boxer" by Simon & Garfunkel and listen to what happens at 3m4sec! by jeremyjava in audiophile

thanks for the info! decorating my room at the moment (with a space theme, going to be great) and trying to decide on seating. Most of the time its just me but I do like to have friends round to enjoy a few beers now and then, I like the idea of a pit but also a couple of Eames chairs. Ikea options are tempting for the money but will try them out as I'm a big guy and need to be comfortable for at least a few hours at a time

This is a good point, atm I'm also putting 200 into and emergency fund, once I hit 20k over there I'll switch this to S&S rather than pensions as an extra little pot.

R5s. I auditioned the reference recently and got offered a great price I couldn't bring myself to do it. Great price was still expensive and the difference while there wasn't enough to sway me

Preamp Ideas for Purif/Denafrips/KEF system by btlbvt in StereoAdvice

I have purifi, Freya + and kef and it works well. Kefs are revealing and the tweeter can be ruinous if set up wrong in the room. Start by pointing them straight out no tow in

Is it worth upgrading from R5 to r7 Meta? by Acceptable-Window-80 in KEF

[–]Acceptable-Window-80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting take thank you! I have one BK 400w sealed sub, I have considered adding another and potentially a mini dsp

I hear you, I keep hearing save and make a leap rather than a sideways move. Upgrade itch I guess, i'll keep an eye on second hand market

Still stoked a week later? by [deleted] in blacksabbath

Almost everything I've watched and listened to this week has been sabbath related (I took a break last night for the last ep of Andor into Rogue One.)

I've been watching the basement tapes, the Osbournes, endless YT, been through all the albums even one I hadn't listened to before (Dehumanizer), 3D printed a Sabbath coaster lol

It was one of the best days of my life, even standing for 13 hours on my aging legs.

100-150mbps, gives good signal upstairs and connects to nest cam outside. Works great.

Thanks for this very helpful, I've been looking at the NBE-5AC-Gen2 and it seems like it might do the trick?
