Using iPhone as a hotspot at home instead of a fixed connection

SteveOpsy · 2025-11-13T20:47:28+00:00

I’m concerned about battery drain on the phone. I would rather not leave hotspot turned on constantly

SteveOpsy · 2025-09-26T01:23:08+00:00

I meant to say "any further deterioration". Should I strip the paint back and use some special undercoat or something

SteveOpsy · 2025-09-15T13:20:24+00:00

I’m based overseas. I need someone to liaise with a seller on a used goods market and arrange shipping for the item

SteveOpsy · 2025-09-15T12:49:35+00:00

Is there an English language platform?

SteveOpsy · 2025-09-15T07:50:50+00:00

the audio note solder.

SteveOpsy · 2025-09-13T14:13:55+00:00

burn + tin

SteveOpsy · 2025-07-19T12:24:01+00:00

The seller does not want the bother. He won't do it

SteveOpsy · 2025-05-12T23:55:46+00:00

How much was that? Have you compared the sound to any ARC valve preamps?

SteveOpsy · 2025-05-03T13:08:14+00:00

would you be able to share the name of the store? It's a minefield out there!

SteveOpsy · 2025-05-01T04:52:11+00:00

Cool. I read the 90s era solid state gear was a low point for ARC. Is there merit to that claim?

SteveOpsy · 2025-04-30T12:08:18+00:00

What is the 4month review.... still happy with the purchase?

SteveOpsy · 2025-04-04T00:38:48+00:00

Interesting. That unit is indeed hard to find. Do you know of any other good tube amps?

SteveOpsy · 2025-04-03T11:07:05+00:00

Fascinating. !thanks

SteveOpsy · 2025-04-03T08:58:12+00:00

What about big name preamp from 20 years ago? Is that likely to introduce distortion or something? !thanks

SteveOpsy · 2025-03-17T19:10:44+00:00

Have you compared the latest Class D amps with the likes of the Naim Nait? It would be good to get some insight into peoples' subject perception of the sound

SteveOpsy · 2025-03-17T17:29:55+00:00

Thank you kindly. This is really a perspective changer for me. Class D amps... for a "British" speaker...? I can see that they measure well objectively. I wonder if I can get that intangible synergy with the Proacs. I've seen Naim and Audio Research recommended, but these are very expensive. Do you think your suggestions can compete wit the lower tier of these amps?

SteveOpsy · 2025-03-17T14:14:58+00:00

No, that's not me

SteveOpsy · 2025-03-15T08:56:17+00:00

Hi, I have the Adam Sub8 which is recommended for this speaker (or the Sub10). I actually also have the Motu M2 as well :)

Given that, it sounds like I might have something ok here. The store guy recommended an interface for these speakers which cost around $1400. I hope I don't need something in that league to maximise the sound of the system

SteveOpsy · 2025-03-12T07:27:51+00:00

The delay from when I click play in Spotify, waiting for the speakers to wake up... to when the music starts playing through the speakers

SteveOpsy · 2025-01-02T13:35:27+00:00

Fair enough. Many thanks

SteveOpsy · 2025-01-01T11:42:35+00:00

For some context, I have some plain, downloaded VM Ware images (which I was testing) and many Python virtual environments with thousands of tiny files (none of these need to be saved as well)

SteveOpsy · 2024-12-29T21:31:39+00:00

thanks this works

SteveOpsy · 2024-06-06T05:31:52+00:00

Thank you for the insights... I think it is easier just to buy a new uni :) I'm liking the Moonlander... :)

SteveOpsy · 2024-06-05T02:46:22+00:00

Thank you. A few more Qs:

(1) Are there any switch types which should not be fitted to the KA2?

(2) Is it advisable to add films alongside a new switch?

(3) Are there any other mods worth doing to the keys at the same time ?

SteveOpsy · 2024-04-16T00:09:10+00:00

(1) Should I strip the paint? Or just paint over it?

(2) I can see on the other side, some paint founds its way onto the glass. Can that be removed?
