GS10's on the way.

Posted 04-12-2010 at 1:16 PM by Dankeech

Downstairs system of GS20's, GS LCR and RS1's is a mismatch no more. GS10's just been ordered and should arrive next weekend.

RS1's are going to replace the Radius 5.0 set upsatirs and the Cambridge Audio 540R will be replaced by a dedicated stereo amp.

My present to myself for all the hard work and silly hours over the last year.

Merry Christmas Dan

New engine running!!

Posted 29-09-2009 at 11:51 AM by Dankeech

My car is being finished tonight! Already got engine running smoothly. So excited, but I'll have to wear engine in so only 3000rpm for me for the next 1000 miles.

Can't wait til those 1000 miles are up. Might have to take a few long trips out to start making a dent in that 1000 miles

Major car work underway

Posted 25-09-2009 at 8:56 AM by Dankeech

After a run-in with a maniac driver in which I had to gun my engine to get away, my engine failed and sounded like a metal box full of loose bolts just after. It has been deemed to be worth replacing the whole engine as the block will have been damaged.

Ordered a brand new replacement engine off fleabay and the work has started. It's being done on the driveway at home by a friend in the trade and his colleague. Most of the extra bits are now removed from the car (manifolds, battery,...

Finally a house!

Posted 22-09-2009 at 2:15 PM by Dankeech

Well it's been a long time coming but I've got deposit, found a house I like, made an offer and been accepted

I'm soon(ish) to be the proud owner of a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in a nearby town.

The walls are painted some seriously garish colours and I'm definitely going to be doing some serious repainting in the short term which alone will probably give the place a whole new lease of life. I've got a garden for the all-important BBQ season (July...

Out with the silver, in with the gold.

Well, been looking at an upgrade for some time now, giving it just a casual thought, but things have picked up pace in the last few days and I find myself sitting here in my room now sans speakers.

The excellent RS6's and RS1's have just left the door on their way up to Nottingham with a nice chap called Richard who I'm confident will get a great deal of enjoyment out of them, and I'm down to just a pair of Kef IQ1's sitting on my TV stand.

Got to say to be honest...
