Nice knob! Where did you get it?

I seem to remember Graeme had a thread here about one somewhere? Could be wrong though.

Mmm, got that one too. That was a good era - just coming out of shoegazing which I never got and in the early days of Britpop.

If you dont even know where they are then surely there not that cherrished :lol: Good point well made :). I have a problem with vinyl. It's one of the few things I cherish. Don't know why, just do. CD and flac will never be the same. I have more records than I'll ever listen to but they're all chil...

Yes and no.

I've got their first three albums on vinyl somewhere but I've just had a look and can't find them. Must be somewhere but now I'm wondering what might be hiding with them

When I rewired 12 years ago based on the little info I could find I put in four spurs just for the hifi. I put these at the front of the consumer unit, which is supposed to be the best place as it's closest to where the leccy comes in from the street. Not sure this really makes a difference but it's...

Dunno. Why's it taking out the QNAP PS but none others (touch wood!)? The Squeezebox for instance.

Bum. Just lost another power supply, an expensive Maplins one. Wish I could find the problem as this is going to get expensive...

Hi Rod, good to see you here. Would the board in the photo be the proto for my KRs?

No, no Linux box. Maybe one day when I have more time and money :lol:. The QNAP has a number of features such as web server, and if I really knew what I was doing I might set something up. But I don't so I keep all the ports closed behind the firewall. Ignorance isn't cool, but better safe than sorr...

QNAP resurrected!!!! Chris and Dave were spot on the money :D. I swapped to the Maplins PS and the QNAP was fine. So whilst the knackered one read 12V with my DMM it obviously can't provide enough current. Just need to find a replacement from somewhere now. Result! Thanks for everyone's help - with ...

DTB

I remember it well. But then I was driving .

I also remember how pale Mr I looked the next day.
