New house office system now sorted.
āWhen Your Decorās So Depressing Your Lightbulbs Neck Themselvesā
Nice to see the Denon all-in-1 in use. Do I (dimly) recall a time, possibly pre-Wigwam on the old HFC forum, when you and I both had the same Denon micros as main hifi? I know I didā¦
I donāt know that particular one, but the small silver Denon stuff that Iāve heard, has really been very good. I have a friend who has a little Denon amp and CD player, same pint-sized footprint, with a pair of Linn Kans, and Iāve always been really impressed with the setup. Lovely engaging, rhythmically lively sound.
Agreed. I discovered too late to avoid a truly futile upgrade path that into a properly sensitive pair of speakers (ideally floorstanders), those little silver boxes can produce a truly satisfying sound
Good memory, Earl of Sodbury. I really should have just kept the Denon as my main hi-if and wasted money on other things instead. Iām using the Denon as I type and it really is a little marvel.
Actually, Iām vexed now, because Iāve only just remembered a) that I even had it, and b) that I loaned mine to someone yonks ago and whoever it was (havenāt dredged the name up yet) never gave it backā¦
Itād be the perfect thing for my bedroom system! GAH!
starts scouring eBay for unnecessary silver Denon bargains
Ganā warily if itās the minisystems - the disc drives die, and are a sod to source bits for.
Iām already giving myself a talking-to. I have three amps here needing repair already, all of them decent (on top of the many that are functional). FFS.
Just up the road when you want to get them sorted
Iāve had a couple of them over the years (neither of them yours!) and they are great things.
The volume knob can fail tooā¦
Yeah thatās where Iāll be going. heās already done a couple of repairs for me. Amazing to have someone that good, affordable and local. Minutes from me.
You give us all Hope Nick!
I have at least 2 (that I remember) really, really dead amps that will almost certainly never be more than paperweights that I keep out of guilt because I broke them; four medium-dead (fairly sure I know what the issue with one is, 3 others are with someone actually-competent), one sketchy pre with permanently fucked remote, and two more probably-hopefully-just-a-dead-valve monoblocs that Iām frankly too profoundly depressed to bother with.
If it wasnāt for the portable DAB in the kitchen Iād forget what music isā¦
Iāve remembered who it is, not a forumite!
Time for a little reminder??
TBH, no mate, itās someone Iād rather not have anything to do with ever again.
That doesnāt narrow it down much
Too fucking right it doesnāt!
I will contact them, and say you have sold it to me!! They need to post it!
