Ha,ha. I started off with gusto then tailed off for a bit but gave it beans the last few months.

I’m going for a listen but the system i have in mind are over 100 miles away so don’t hold your breath for any decisions.

The Ruark on my list is the R710. Looks old school but has a lot going for it especially in the input department.

Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
What is one of those?

Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Exactly. These things can’t be rushed.

Can’t rush these things. Only have one shot at it.

Ok, after an age of investigation I’m down to three systems. Auditioning next.

No problem, never knew such a thing existed but in this day and age I realise I’m not clued up on a lot of tech stuff!!

Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Is that actually a thing??!!

Ha, ha. I’m the same Although my wife has three on the go right now and I can’t cope with that!

Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
So glad you approve! The other one I sent, in my opinion, tastes better if left for a while. Be interesting to hear your thoughts.

Great news. Do you do a lot of art fairs?

The bridge picture with the Tate in the background is fantastic.

Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
That was my first instinct but it was just a guess.

For this print, grade 0 for the highlights at 21.6 seconds and grade 5 for the darker tones at 21.6 seconds with some dodging and burning at each grade to add contrast.

This morning’s job was extricating a sparrow from the chimney of my wood burning stove. On the plus side, at least this time I hadn’t just finished decorating.

The side mirror and hood picture is exceptional.

Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Probably although I was considering 3d printing a couple of brackets to allow me to fit a band from another hood.,

After 30 years of faultless service my solarmatic is being retired. Headstrap has died and there’s no spares.

Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
You need to start making prints.

Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
That’s me!

This is my reaction every time I develop a roll. Occasionally there’s one ok image but on the whole…

Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Very nice.

Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Absolutely not, there are rumours!

As well as Sandeep’s cable release, on the dark side of the foundations there may be an M6.

Hey, you never know.

Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
No, I didn’t but now i know you’re looking for it I’ll keep an eye out next time I’m down.

We’ve stayed here for 18 years and I've been under the floor more times than i care to remember and I’ve never found anything interesting.

Deep joy.

Every time I go under the floor I promise myself that before the next time i‘ll buy knee and elbow pads.

There’s about 2feet of space but it’s a maze to get to where I need to get to And it’s all rubble. Fantastic!

New flooring going down next week and the one cable behind the couch that I thought would never ever have to move because it’s behind the couch and is never seen now has to be moved. A delightful afternoon under the floor for me then.

And it’s so easy to just go with a smaller camera for convenience. Have fun with it!
