You've got some great stuff in here. I'm going to dig through your thread when I get some time this week
Yeah, but there's a lot of crap too. Lol
Be careful how deep you dig.
You might find poop. Lol

Notice how white light is separated into it colors when shon through a prism.
Sunlight shining through a prism will show a different spectrum than your Grow Light, and I will show a different spectrum with my LED strips...
A CD has a similar effect.
I remember getting stoned around 1983 ...
Wow. I had to check my amp actually has a phono input. Many don't now. I have not seen one with cartridge capacitance matching before. I see moving magnet or moving coil selection switches, and know the term riaa correction. At that, my knowledge craps out.
I have taken bluetooth boards and devices and put them inside older amps recently. Using the phono input selection, and a bit of artistic interpretation (a marker pen) to change phono to phone The biggest issue has been powering them. In each case, an old phone charger has been scavenged.
The phono input was already bust on one, while the others phono stage gave up an op-amp for the main amps input stage. I didn't trash perfectly good amps
I paid about £3 for a finger shaped BT device that receives from your phone, and offers a headphone socket. Internal lithium cell. I think aimed at Iphone uses that lost the headphone socket as they were further insulted without realising. I have not actually installed that, but the voice is batmans butler and it made some old PC speakers live on as bluetooth ones.
225w uses a unit every 4 hours (well 250w does) so 4 units a day. 28 units a week. About 115 units a month?
How much is a unit there? Here it could be 25p so an astounding £30 a month.
You need to look at your electric bill to see what a unit costs on your deal
My amps quite basic. 13.5Kg of oomph though. The texture on the front plate is that left by a rough concrete cutting mill or something. You could light a match on it. The volume is quite wobbly though. I think it's a comical throwback to some old rock gear, but I don't know.
I have the matching CD player with digital/usb inputs round back. It won't scan through tracks though. Only skip them. Instead, it has a light underneath so it looks good in your rack. It's blue when the Digital inputs are selected. White at some other time. Off generally. It's the oddest indicator light, but does let you know whats happening from across the room. While making the rack look good lol

I must get around to selling before the new model comes out. I have never liked the CD player and the amp sounds alright on bluetooth but a bit harsh through other inputs. It's on the smooth side of neutral, but I like really smooth. Like the Yamaha that's actually a bit too muddy to ever be actual hifi.
I will fall back on my Arcam Alpha 8r amp and 8se CD player. About 20 years old, so relatively new still. £1500 pair then, that still fetch £300 but £3000 would be needed to replace them. The roksan kit was that sort of money, so a sideways step more than an upgrade. The roksans power is nice but no tone controls and the CD player is dysfunctional

Purple Blue Green Orange and Red. The Green is too prominent, and at 100lm/w this dropped the useful PPFD to levels a CFL could compete with.
What drove to over water though?? Drunk? Someone else was in charge for a few days?
The yammy's nice. Other than the master fader, it looks quite familiar. I bet you can still get new belts for it. I did my sony and aiwa a few years back after a storage session.

If they recorded the sound normally, the bass would shake the needle. Causing distortion and rapid wear.
