Welcome on board

LEAK are a well known brand over here ( England ) They used to make all sorts of kit - And extremely well regarded back in the day. I believe that the company was formed in the 1930's ? Stop Press!! They are back under the IAG umbrella ( In name anyway )...

Hello, Well, for that price i would definitely buy it, I have never owned one but have always liked the look of them - It is rare. Sonics wise it is probably not a Nakamichi - I would still have it though in my set up...... in a flash :cool: PC

Greetings from across the waters! PC

Thanks all, I need to go back and do some of the photos again, i had 10 minutes at the derelict church, then as i was yomping back home to get changed to go out on the bike i took a shortcut through the church at the end on my lane ( Shot 46 ) and was surprised how great the view around the...

Hi All, Today i got up early as i had arranged to go on a bike trip with friends, but had discovered a derelict church just down the road from me.... i only had 10 minutes or so to get down there and grab a few shots! I also grabbed a couple of shots from my village churchyard as i strolled...

That is a great story :D

Welcome to the group! PC

I am not a royalist, but i have to say that even i was taken aback when the news of the Queens departure was announced - I have only ever known her as Monarch, and what a good job she did over 70 years. Not something that i would like to do.... ever It is a great loss but she did have a healthy...

Thanks Bob - I too hate feeding the beast! I will check that out this weekend, i vaguely recall the name oddly, definitely checking it out! Thank you for the tip! Shaun

Hi All, Sorry for the delay in responding, i was out and about 'playing' with the cameras! Yes you are correct, with IR film you have a red dot on the lens to balance out the light refraction, I used to use IR 120 roll film years ago, and that was a right faff ( Using a dark back to load and...

I did a thread a while ago about my messing around with Infra Red photography, and a few members shared some excellent photographs, So i thought i would start a thread all about Infra Red stuff. Today is a national holiday in the UK, so what better to do than get up early and wonder down to a...

Very nice! And what a great way to get your hands on a DAC! Looking forward to the end results PC

Hi Nando - Very nice indeed - And when i arrive at Innovative Audio in person don't hide all of the good stuff!!! Like yourself i am attempting to downsize some of my goodies, and further other purchases of one sort or another - Currently adding a multi fuel burner and a gas combination boiler...

Very interesting, I was not sure how certain machines did the dark art of 'real' time counting, and i was going to mention my Studer A721. but that was covered by the Revox thread ( I am sure it is the same method? ) I wonder what my AIWA XK-S9000 uses as a model? it does seem to be 'fairly'...

@20tajk7 - Spot on! And it looked far to good to butcher, and i have too many decks already! Sigh, should have purchased it as it was going for a great price... But then i would have been tempted to strip the heads out, and that would have been wrong...

Hi Vince, When i did my Mech Eng degree there was no such thing as software... CNC was just becoming a thing... All drawn by hand and machined with your hands..... sigh I am not in that world anymore, which is a shame as i feel that it is something that is lacking from today's working...

Hi Vince, Lovely to hear from you! And yes i totally get what you are saying about destroying a very competent deck just to rip out the heads and hope that they fit - This is something i would never do. I did have sights on a Philips 3 Head deck ( ALPS Heads ) that would have done the job...

Quick question to all of you knowledgeable folk out there - I am looking for an ALPS head that would work in a Pioneer CT-1250 deck, i have one without a head! ( For obvious reasons ) - I don't mind if it is secondhand, as long as it works, and yes i know that there is a lot of faffing around to...

Hi Nando, At that price it would have been rude not to!!!! Shaun
