Re: Dutch & Dutch 8c

Re: Time to say...... Goodbye?

Will be sad to see the place go but can understand the decision. I've met many great friends over the last 20 years be it here or the previous Cloney forums.
Huge thanks to Fran for keeping it going over the years.

Re: Dublin HIFI Show 2023

Spend a few hours there this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it. Firstly it was great to meet Ivor, Fran, Tony, Fergus and Claus again. Hadn't seen most of you in years. Hopefully it wont be as long till the next one. I was really curious going into this, especially being a Stax user for the last 5 y...

Re: Speakers I have owned over the years, what about you?

First pair of proper speakers were Monitor Audio Silver 8i's. They were part of a 5.1 system. Brilliant for movies but lacked a bit a finesse for music. I had the MA's for years but after being corrupted by this forum, I chose a pair of B&W804's over some ProAc's. A considerable step up in perfo...

RIP Glenn Croft

Just saw on a few other forums that Glenn Croft has passed away last weekend. Think there is a few Croft owners here.

Re: Computer guidance needed

Off the top of my head, 2k seems a lot but I dont know what exactly you need here. I take it you don't need a powerful GPU so I'm guessing an integrated CPU/GPU would do?

Re: Computer guidance needed

Anyway, if you need any advice on the PC building part do let me know as I've built several high end PC's over the years. They are pretty e...
