#audiophiles look away now / I’ve never been that happy with the sound of my #Naim #Uniti, blaming the speakers, but I routed it through the 1990 #Pioneer #A400 that I had abandoned at @red_martinsen and #HolyForkingShirt suddenly everything is #awesome! How did this happen? Maybe the speakers just aren’t good for the Naim? Lovely B+W P5 speakers were free, Pioneer plus a Rotel 855 was £80 from Gumtree decades ago and venerable #Rega #P3 still doing the goods. Budget sounds FTW. #hifi #audiophile #turntable #amplifier

First brought to my attention by @vtwingrin, this is a winter essential for bikers. About £30, this little #battery pack is USB-#rechargeable, but will jump start your #motorbike about fifteen times. And your car a few times too, no doubt. Three-pin plug shown for scale. #awesome
