It’s great how you and your Dad share the same passion for hifi

Does he visit here? Pass on regards

Just seen the HiFi Pig report on the Pensils - they look interesting, well done both. Any chance of a bake-off or private listen Rob?

Yeah, it’s been a ‘thing’ since I was about 13-14 years old I think, Dad went CD and I nicked his TT , I set up really well in my bedroom and then when he realised how good it could sound he wanted it back! .

I don’t think he’s on here no, he mostly posted on Audiophiles UK group on facebook these days.

Pensil Cabinet Kit With Pluvia Eleven Drivers | Hifi Pig if anyone else is vaguely interested.

Unfortunately they went back to Stefan I good while ago, but I would happily give them space here, I thought they were terrific, easy build too.

Some crappy pictures of the current system taken the other night in much haste.
I am now quite pleased with the sound of it.

What speakers are they?

freefallrob · 17 February 2017 14:51

Is that a Sony 9000 ES dvd spinner ? Good for sacds

freefallrob · 17 February 2017 15:32

Indeed it is, it’s a pretty handy CD player too.

I’ve just bought a £16.50 Panasonic DVD player, I’m going to AB against the Sony tonight.

Secret: DVD-S500EB-K

They sound fantastic, the improvement over the KR & Gold Lions is not subtle.

I have bought a pair of RCA 18" bass drivers by osmosis from Tonbridge audio show today.
I spoke to the guy on the phone via a mate who told me about them.

I found out afterwards that it was Non smoking Man Jack -Small world.

I saw those at the jumble. Nice buy. What are you going to do with them?

Adpully · 20 February 2017 12:14

Another OB project for the future.

I will probably sell a pair of my 15" era on eBay

anon14766838 · 20 February 2017 12:28

those 4 would look nice in my Italian beast…

malbec · 20 February 2017 13:09

That could be interesting. Hope you got them for a good price and had a car with you - wouldn’t fancy carrying those home on the train

Adpully · 20 February 2017 13:33

I wasn’t there -A friend phoned me about them and paid for them
i pick them up from Bicester on Weds

malbec · 20 February 2017 13:49

Best of luck with the new project

Anybody know if you can repair a Firestone BigJoe class d amp?

Adpully · 20 February 2017 19:51

I have dug up and sold/selling loads of old hifi kit in prep for a possible more later this year.
A small wall load of bits is adequate.
Whilst doing this I have rearranged my OB bits 90 degrees from my norm and mocked up a new vinyl deck to see if I want to sell the last bits - No I don’t.
I am getting used to the new sound
