Does anyone still use one? About 18 months ago I bought a home hub which plays the radio and music from my phone via Bluetooth. I subscribe to Apple Music so I don't ever need to put on a cd on anymore. I must admit I do still like vinyl.

Aye I've got a marantz amp and wharfedale speakers set up in the front room with a turntable, DAB tuner and Bluetooth unit running through them. Not high end by any means but the sound of vinyl through decent speakers is hard to beat imo but I mostly listen to spotify through bluetooth from my phone as my vinyl collection ceased growing around 2001.
Mind you I rarely get a chance to listen to vinyl anyway as the kids jumping about makes the stylus skip

I actually own two turntables. I have a Thorens TD124 (Mk I) with a FR64S tone arm and also a Linn Sondek LP12 with an old Ittok arm - both have Dynavector ruby carat cantilever cartridges.
I've actually taken to selling some of my vinyl as it's currently going for crazy prices. Keeping it in top condition since new was a godsend.

You would think that she'd have learned from that, but no. I got home and as it was really warm last night I opened the patio doors to let some air in. I was sitting having something to eat when suddenly the dog is barking and trying to climb the fence to get at a cat that was walking along the top of the fence. She was going mad and the cat was just looking down at her as if she was stupid. I had to run out into the garden and usher her into the house.
She is absolutely insane.Last edited by lord bunberry; 17-06-2017 at 09:30 PM.

No hifi in my house anymore and I'm not fully into the new tech just yet.
I have my music on a hard drive which I have to connect to my laptop then connect that to my daughters blue tooth speaker : greengrin
I have just signed up to Spotify (free) though

I've actually just splashed out on a new amp, deck & speakers from Richer Sounds. Project Essentials 2 deck, Cambridge Audio amp and a decent set of speakers. I could easily have went down the Sonos route as I love my tech but there's something about actually "playing" music that is so satisfying.
A lot of my audio pleasure still comes from DAB and world (internet) radio but the daughter is encouraging me to sign up to Spotify!

After getting a job the next one I got was a Sony with a three CD turntable. It had flashing lights and something called "DJ mix" where you could press a button that made sound effects like "whoop" and "peyoooo" while you were listening to the music.
:-o
No hifi in the house anymore but I've used up all the free trials with Spotify, Apple etc..
Currently paying £15 a month with Apple and still trying to figure out if it's worth it.

I'm more of a headfier than a hifier. Just bought a pair of SoundMagic HP200's from amazon. What an eargasm and at a great price too.
Just running from a DacMagic XS at the moment, but looking for a USB DAC+AMP upgrade. Headphone's have low impedance at only around 20ohms but could still probably benefit from a DAC upgrade. Any suggestions?
