Hifi for beer money again. Kinda.

For Sale/Wanted
Forum rules
Note that Tir Na HiFi does not take any responsibility for transactions arranged or carried out here. It is up to the seller and buyer to check each other out! Please be sensible folks, and if there is something you think is wrong, let a mod know, OK?

To make it as clear as we can, here are some simple guidelines:

a) like any forum, the success of tirnahifi is entirely dependent on discussion. All members are encouraged to participate in discussion of music, hifi, etc.
b) tirnahifi is not designed to be, nor intended to be, a marketplace. Any member who uses the site merely for selling will be looked on suspiciously.
c) those members who choose to sell on the site should be aware that the mods do keep an eye on the stuff for sale, plus the demeanour of the seller. Sometimes we may lock/delete/ban a sales thread on this basis.
d) honesty is paramount in all selling transactions. Commercial sellers who label themselves as such are accepted at the discretion of the moderating team.
e) All ads have to include information about age, price, provenance, etc.
f) THE MODERATING TEAM RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE ANY ADS AT THEIR DISCRETION.
g) Commercial sellers should approach any of the moderation team in advance of posting. First time commercial posts without moderator contact will be removed.

Hifi for beer money again. Kinda.

Post by Diapason »

A few years ago I "bought" Sloop's Squeezebox Duet in the first hifi for beer money giveaway. I'm no longer using it, so it's time to send it back out into the world. The only problem is that I've given up drinking beer, so if anyone wants to take it we'll have to come to some other arrangement. The smart money is on a semi-decent (but not expensive!) bottle of white wine...

Regular posters only, please.

I'd be very interested in this...though not quite sure I qualify as a truly "regular" poster. (Have given away a few items here over the years for beer money.)

(I have a SB Classic in the living room streaming my FLAC Files and TIDAL. This would work nicely in my man-cave/home office.)

Happy to supply a decent white of your choice!

All done and dusted, set-up and working great.

They're always a bit fiddly to get going when you haven't done it for a while but a factory re-set, and a sign-in to MySqueezebox.com did the trick. Works with TIDAL too...

Thanks Diapason!

That's excellent news, and I'm delighted to hear it works properly with TIDAL. There's life in those old Squeezeboxes yet.

It was a pleasure to meet you, Alltheyoungdudes, thank you for the vino and choccies, and thanks for showing me your man cave!
