Not an Ed Sheeran fan at all. My daughter hates Shape Of You, says it's sexist and she's 12 I have to listen to this all the time as shes a Panic At The Disco nutter

Mushroom, lol ๐, got that Cd from my mate a few months ago, along with T he very best of Fleetwood Mac Cd, they seem to be my go-to music since I got them! My wife says she's sick of listening to Ed Sheeran as he's on the radio all the time, at her work.I don't listen to the radio, so had no clue who he was, till given the Cd!.
When my kids were young, I had to listen to the Spice Girls, because of their new gigs, I'm having to listen again, surprisingly, they are better produced and sounding, than I remember, or maybe my hifi is better!๐๐
Lyrics for young kids? ๐

The "Black Dog" has been hanging about lately ๐
Think it reflects in the music I've been listening too.... It's no helping that these sound superb on my hifi! Lol ๐
Then my other Black Dog , Alfie( black Labrador) comes wagging his tail, spreading unconditional love, and the world seems a wee bit better ๐๐.

Having a wee listen to this, with my earphones that I bought some time ago and are mentioned earlier in this thread, great sound plugged into anything! Sound brilliant plugged into my new amp. www.whathifi.com/news/amazon-prime-day-five-star-akg-headphones-now-just-pound2750 , plugged into my old Apple tablet. Sounding good, Ah the pipes,the pipes! The smaller guy playing the pipes on Tom's left hand side, is a pal of my Daughter's, had a good chat to him a few years ago, whilst sitting in my kitchen, he's truly a good guy!. Mijโบ

That Foos album isn't too bad, the last 2 albums I bought were From The Bogs Of Aughsika, Roots of this Earth Within my Blood, and the other is a split album, Fiend (Southern as f**k james blunt) and Cystgurgle (Engaged in Lymphophalia). The last is a limited release of 500, but it's coming from a Thai record label.... I'm a little concerned, as I'm hoping it's not going to be like a Tescos delivery, "sign here sir, no cd, but we do have a gorgeous wife with 'extra body parts', will you accept this substitution?" ๐๐จ๐คข

Sadly, the Cd player I wanted from Moorgate Acoustics was sold before I could get my hands on it! Luckily, I've found another one in a different shop, will try and get it bought this week, fingers crossed.

Getting a Cd player delivered tomorrow, can't wait, feel like a wee boy on Christmas Eve ๐. The ones under consideration to work well with my speakers and amplifier, were : www.whathifi.com/arcam/cds27/reviewwww.whathifi.com/rotel/rcd-1572/reviewwww.whathifi.com/audiolab/8300cd/reviewThis was top of the list ๐, with the above ๐a close second... www.whathifi.com/audiolab/8200cd/reviewThis helped sway things in the above's favour ๐, as I have these speakers and amplifier ๐. ... Untill reading about the final winner, that's getting delivered tomorrow... www.whathifi.com/audiolab/8200cdq/reviewSo... To recap, all my hifi was bought pre-owned ๐ ; Bowers and Wilkins 685s2 speakers- new =ยฃ500 pre-owned ยฃ290 Arcam A19 amplifier - new =ยฃ650. pre-owned ยฃ449 Audiolab Cdq dac/cd player new = ยฃ950. pre-owned ยฃ399 Better deals are available, I have just seen an Arcam A19 amplifier for ยฃ349 on the net, so ยฃ100 LESS than I paid, just goes to show.๐. I'm still happy and hope to enjoy this system for many years. ๐๐๐ Mijโบ

Quick update, loving the new ( to me ) ๐, Cd player, took a few listens to get used to it's sound, bass fuller and more accurate, but difference in treble sound most notable difference, as I'm used to hearing Marantz Cd players, as had cd52/se, cd67/se and Cd63/se/ki, ect, ect, since the late 1980's- early 1990's. It's My Darlin's ( wife) half day, and she's having a house work frenzy ( modern man, me?.. Na ๐) so... Having to listen to this album๐ as she works! sounding quite good! And she did buy the Cd player with her 25 year service money from her work!

Not been on the forum so much lately, as enjoying re-listening to all my CDs so much, can't believe how good everything is sounding, it's been very enlightening! Loving every minute of my listening experience.
Haven't tried using my phone, android tablet or Apple tablet plugged into the DAC of the Audiolab 8200 Cdq yet, so have even more to look forward to.
Ride safe.

looking forward to tomorrow. My new vinyl storage finally arrives, so i can get my LPs out of the cluttered room where they have been stored for the last 18 months and arrange them alphabetically in the new rack. I will be selling some box sets which dont fit into the 13"x13" sections namely: Pete Townshend Lifehouse chronicles Joy division box set

I'm listening to two CDs I got at the charity shops; Credence Clearwater Revival, the Collection. This is similar ๐
and the Corrs, Unplugged ๐
and both are sounding excellent, absolutely loving my hifi set up, listening to at least an album a day.

Mijโบ Yes, Mij, Kallax from a well known swedish shop, they are the business - easy to assemble, look good and actually fit box sets and other slightly larger albums in. But not the joy division box set which is why it must be sold. Now got 3 empty cubes to fill with vinyl - happy days!
