I had issues with hum when I first got my PL power amp. It was a grounding issue with mine in that I had too many grounds in the system and it was causing a ground loop. I had to add an ifi GND defender to every device with an AC input apart from the preamp. That left the preamp grounding the...

Well today was a footballing nightmare for me. Congratulations to the cheats and the scousers through gritted teeth. We are a long long way off but hopefully by next season we can at least make being a fan fun again.

Backlog Interlude Liam Gallagher - Acoustic Sessions

Backlog Interlude Manic Street Preachers - Critical Thinking

Probably not! They’re a late 90s/early 00s indie band from Manchester. They emerged out of a techno group from the early 90s. They sorta specialised in big soaring indie music and were brilliant live. They’re back together now and making decent music again but nothing that has quite captured the...

Doves Interlude Doves - Kingdom Of Rust

I ordered it direct from Laiv but I think vineshine are involved with them so it’s pearly all from the same place in the end. Thanks, it does, I may add the uDDC to the mix when I get an eversolo/fiio later in the year!

Scandalised!

Yes! And I’ve heard that they sound really good run under voltage too! It’s a clever little preamp with jumpers to go between the stock 12au7 and a 6992/6dj8/7dj8! The NOS Philips ones I bought are supposed to be really sweet sounding as well.

Backlog Interlude Villagers - That Golden Time

My little Laiv Harmony uDAC that I ordered on Thursday shipped yesterday! I thought I might be a while without digital but given it’s on the super speed Asian FedEx I might be back up and running again with my CDs very soon!

Oh dear, drunk Joe ordered 6 7DJ8 tubes (BHK only needs 2) and another set of backup signal tubes for the PL that I didn’t need. I think I now have enough small signal tubes for the next 12 years based on how I use them…

Spiritualized - Ladies And Gentleman We Are Floating In Space

Radiohead - The King Of Limbs

Oh absolutely. I think it probably needs new tubes tbh, they’ve not gone noisy but it doesn’t quite have the punch I was expecting. That said the detail, stage and stereo separation on this in comparison to the already very good stellar GCD is something else. And yep another one of the British...
