?? - Is this near Moorgate…?
Moorgate Acoustics are in Sheffield. I will be going through Glossop (assuming the Snake Pass (A57)) is open on the way there and the M62 on the way back.
Glossop residents are begging for a bypass, traffic really is awful as they are the gateway to the Peak District National Park from the Manchester side of the Pennines.
The day began at 06:00! At around 6:30 it became obvious that my 32 year old didn’t want to charge its battery. Some “percussion maintenance” and a clean of the terminals on the back of the alternator meant we were OK to go with a keen eye on the voltmeter.
We arrived at Moorgate just before 11am.
I’ve only played a couple of records with my new Krystal/T-Kable and I have to say it’s really musical and involving. Much more refinement than the 10x, bass is much better too.
Approximately double the price of a DV 10X, I think…? Actually a tad more…
PS. My possibly cunning plan, is that having found a set of Naim 523 boards, I have more options, should I decide to diverge from the DV path…
I’ve waited over thirty years to put a Linn MC into my Ittok that was bought secondhand and had been drilled for a Troika - later Ittoks already had the 3 point mounting.
In comparison, my Ittok was bought ‘new’ (only £253) back in 1982. I already had a DV10X…
Just over a year later I bought a Linn Asak - and the 10X was kept in its box…
FFW, to 2001 and I bought another, newer 10X (trading in my previous one) - having had my Linn Asaka removed. The Asaka sold easily to the Bay Place.
I still have my 2001 DV10X. It may be traded for a newer one…
Full circle…
Think I am going to go with Plan B.
Darran is too busy to do a While You Wait, so - as 523 boards are no size or weight, I am now planning on posting them to him.
My Lingo is working, so it can wait a bit longer…
Sorry, what was Plan B?
If you could cope without Vinyl for a short while you could get the Lingo serviced and the mains input sorted along with the 523s
It’s great spending other people’s money
Plan B is to post the 523 Boards.
Plan A was to visit Darran and get both 523’s and the Lingo done.
I could post the Lingo (not a prob not having it for a bit)…
But I don’t want to…
Boards now boxed, ready to post to Sheffield…
Boards have now arrived in Sheffield…
Hoping for an update shortly, on my 523 E boards…
Drat and darnation. Wrong resistor values received by Class A from Naim. Correct resistors being found by Naim & posted north…
Drat and double drat!
Boards now converted, by @Darran at Class A.
Return & testing expected soon…
PS. Msg received from UPS… Could be…?
Make all four connectors are properly on the mainboard pins. Sometimes they can slide to one side.
To have that problem… would be nice…
I think the ‘U’ in UPS stands for Useless, or Unreliable…
82 now back together sans any Phono boards…
From CD…
PS. Like a watched Kettle which never boils, I expect UPS will arrive any minute now…
Where is it currently 1pm…?
Odd; UPS are normally OK, you have a tracking reference?
Checked with Darran. Was only collected by UPS today…
So… UPS’s msg was nonsense…
Perhaps tomorrow, between 9am & 1pm…?
Will leave my 82 as is (back together) until the E Boards actually arrive…
