Item: Inner sleeves Price Range: Free Item Condition: Used Extra Info I bought a load of fancy inner sleeves over lockdown and have this stack of the previous ones if anyone needs them. A real mix of "vintage", nearly new, paper, plastic, square and half moon ones. We'll over 100 there in total. All in perfectly adequate condition, some are basically brand new. The knackered ones went in the recycling but I thought I'd check if anyone wanted some/all of these before they went the same way. Feel free to come pick out the ones you want. Pick up in Collin

6 jazz records for $43 shipped
BlackCoffee replied to RankStranger's topic in Great Deals, Bargains, Specials Alerts
I picked these up a month or so ago when it was 10 records for $78 shipped (seems the be the same value as this one) and it's the real deal. All excess stock from the Jazz 33 1/3 collectors series. Properly licensed by DeAgostini and genuinely excellent quality pressings. I would recommend I first read about it here: https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/zavvi-best-of-jazz-starter-kit-all-time-classics-albums-set-of-10-mystery-vinyl-lp.990763/page-3 -
I did but more because it had a few small problems when I got it, a bit of buzzes and hums etc. that were all sorted. It wasn't like the soundstage improved or the sound sitself changed, ust that it ran really smoothly and much more quietly. If I recall correctly it needed some resoldering as well as the recap maybe, would have been around $100 for the work maybe?

Hello hello, I've currently got a Pioneer SPL-100 which I've had for a few years and now I'm considering my options to upgrade it. I would appreciate some guidance before I post in the WTBs Budget-wise I'm thinking $500 but could go higher if there was a good opportunity to get something special. I like something very simple, no need for inbuilt phono stage, digital outputs or anything like that. The music I pay mostly 60s and 70s jazz/soul/blues, contemporary acoustic, ambient and also soundtracks. Lots of strings and vocals, played at low volumes! I like t

Further information: The perfect portable DAC with MQA support I purchased it a few months ago from this very site as part of my WFH set up and much as I love it I don't need it any more. Has a few marks and the text on the back has worn off (see pics) Annoyingly I did have the original packaging and manual but can't find them. I'll include them if they turn up otherwise it will be securely packaged and the manual is available here Five star WH-F review: https://www.whathifi.com/au/audioquest/dragonfly-black-v15/review Photos:

Vinyl / Records (ONLY) - Currently Spinning
BlackCoffee replied to Full Range's topic in Currently Spinning Threads
Now Spinning: My copy of Dominique Fils-Aime - Nameless which just arrived today. It might be the best sounding modern pressing I own. The recording and mastering is exceptional and goes the extra mile by being 45rpm, I cant think of another comparable pressing I have that beats it. Really recommend getting a copy just to hear how it sounds on your system. No affiliation to me at all. I just picked it up on a whim on Bandcamp Friday after reading the Discogs comments and liking what I heard on the BC page. https://singwithmi.bandcamp.com/album/na -

5.1 / stereo issue on Netflix/Fetch Mini
BlackCoffee replied to BlackCoffee's topic in General AV Discussion
Just tried an old HDMI audio extractor I remembered I had in the back of cupboard. Luckily it has a 5.1/2.1 switch - problem solved! Was one of these (branded differently though) in case any future visitors ever finds themselves in the same niche predicament! https://www.catch.com.au/product/simplecom-cm423-hdmi-audio-extractor-4k-hdmi-to-hdmi-and-optical-spdif-3-5mm-stereo-437643/?offer_id=501724&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj9q7gsXb6wIVwxwrCh0_8AREEAQYAiABEgKqg_D_BwE -
5.1 / stereo issue on Netflix/Fetch Mini
BlackCoffee replied to BlackCoffee's topic in General AV Discussion
Thanks, found this one on Jaycar, will see if they have any stock or not: https://www.jaycar.com.au/convrtr-aud-dts-ac-3-dig-anlg-coax-tos/p/AC1634 I have indeed, works for everything except Netflix shows which for some reason still push a 5.1 signal through. Just got off the phorn with Netflix and they confirmed that you cant make stereo the default audio stereo. Will see if Fetch know of the issue as well. Cheers! M
