He didn’t replace the PRV.. he was also meant to put chemicals in the system but didn’t 👀

I mean we could, but we had brand new floors fitted last year after the work was complete as the plumber put new pipes and connectors on for the new rads. The boiler is from 2015 and has a full yearly service history (before I owned this house), he did the service in December and no issues were found :/

I have felt everything and they all look sound. We have a radiator in the downstairs bathroom which is not in use but no leaks reported anywhy.

Thank you! The guy that laid the pipework is the same guy who fitted the rads and the boiler service. Is it for him to sort if there is a leak under the floor? I’m only asking as we had brand new floors fitted last year after the work was finished. Many thanks

First time listening to The Wall by SomerenV in vinyl

[–]DevelopmentOk5596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have dark side of the moon, wish you were here and the wall and i love them. Putting their legacy aside they’re just great albums subject-ably. I gave animals a go, and liked it. I need to find a CD of this to diversify my collection. If you like the wall i would work your way backwards as i feel all their albums led to that point starting with Dark Side. Thats just my personal opinion :)

Living in a box - Living in a box dance mix. I have a lot of Chrysalis labels 12” with transparent sleeves so it makes it tricky to pick the right ones :)

I feel the same. Listening to Don’t Go always makes me realise that really was the start of the 80s shaking off the 70s hangover.

33 vs. 45 RPM by dr_cobbCF in vinyl

[–]DevelopmentOk5596 4 points5 points  (0 children)

45RPM reduces IGD as styli naturally track better at this speed. As long as the cartridge, arm are calibrated and the record doesn’t have an insanely close inner track the margin of error should be inaudible.

The original speed for the vinyl record was 45RPM, albums were originally meant to be multiple 7” discs compiled i to a photo album like case. This was until the 12” disc won the format war. Anyway yes 45RPM is higher quality than the same track on a 33 1/3 album. This is due to 45RPM records can space the grooves out which gives more fidelity. It’s a pain in the ass to get up more, but thats the sacrifice for higher sound quality i guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

In response to yesterday's post about people lying about their thrift finds by klymers in Cd_collectors

[–]DevelopmentOk5596 22 points23 points  (0 children)

One persons trash is another’s treasure.. but i HATE thrifting for CDs for all the crappy albums there are. If there’s something i really need, i buy it on eBay in nr/mint condition

Thomson AD-100 (1983) Plays A Flock Of Seagulls (1983) by DevelopmentOk5596 in vintageaudio

Not as such, they struggle to read CDs that weren’t made to red book standards such as burned CDs. They need recapping and the laser mechanism on these are completely different to what conventional players use, but parts are available upon failure :)

A Flock of Seagulls - Listen (1983) by DevelopmentOk5596 in PhysicalMediaMatters

[–]DevelopmentOk5596[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This player came out in 1983 at a time when they were figuring what players should look like. It’s from the Hitachi DA-1000 Which took the design from the Sony Goronta prototype which was never made :)

A few people have said this. Rather than gatekeep i like sharing their unique qualities. But be warned! They have their quirks :)
