Shiny brand new second hand things in my system today V1.2

Momentum 4i.

Never heard those, made a mistake in buying some Momentum stand mounts after the Elites and they were fucking awful.

Think I replaced them with ProAc 1SC

The Momentum 3 was an odd thing; lots of drivers in a small space and it didn’t always work brilliantly- although the Ministra and Magistra have since sorted it. The 4 moves the isobaric drivers to the bottom of the cabinet and keeps the forward midrange as a single unit. It’s basically an Elite with an isobaric sub at the bottom and much the better for it.

Must get my old petites fixed.
Wish I knew how to open the bloody things. Even neat can’t remember how to get into them.

:blush: :thinking:

My old pair of Franco Serblin’s are back !
Never should have sold them in the first place
Guy I sold them to honoured his promise to give me first refusal if he ever moved them on.
Bit his hand off and sounding great

I adore these. Comfortably better than the ÂŁ13k Sonus faber Guaneris I tested not long after.

I’d love to hear that system.

Think I nearly bought those off you on the wam years ago, you changed your mind and withdrew them from sale.

Thanks to @Tons_of_fun I literally have a shiny new second hand thing in my system.:+1:

I’m taking the fact there is something on the display to be a positive sign…

Initially couldn’t get Tidal Connect to work properly from my iPad - it connected ok but the volume was really low and didn’t change even if I turned my amp right up ?

Downloaded the iFi app and plugged in a USB drive with loads of FLAC files on and that played perfectly. Went through the settings and turned off software volume.
I then did a firmware update which mentioned Airplay 2.
Then downloaded Tidal Connect on my iPhone and everything works fine with volume same as with the SSD drive. Haven’t tried from my iPad again yet.
Sounds good.
Haven’t got the optical Ethernet thing connected yet as cables too short.

It shouldn’t be over AirPlay- you press the little speaker icon in the Tidal App?

Tbh on reason was black and full width so it looks nicer.

Couple of bits from the last few weeks, an ATC CA2 Preamp and Yamaha WXC-50 Player/DAC/Preamp.

The CA2 just as I’ve always wanted one and was available from a dealer at a bargain price so could not resist for the Living Room system. Needs a bit of switch cleaner as the buttons dont always ‘switch’.

Wanted to try the WXC-50 instead of my basic WX-AD10 in the now ‘main’ Library system, few issues setting up with new Vodafone router but got there in the end. Not had a chance to properly compare as yet. Plan is to use it as a digital streaming source into the Lyngdorf TDAi2200 as the WX-AD10 only has analogue outputs.

Pretty happy at just over ÂŁ500 for the pair.
