Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I’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. 100
Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The Ruark on my list is the R710. Looks old school but has a lot going for it especially in the input department. 110
Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Ok, after an age of investigation I’m down to three systems. Auditioning next. 230
Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 02/10/2026No 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!! 010

Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 17/09/2026This 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. 000
Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Probably although I was considering 3d printing a couple of brackets to allow me to fit a band from another hood., 020
Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 11/09/2026After 30 years of faultless service my solarmatic is being retired. Headstrap has died and there’s no spares. 110
Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 09/09/2026This is my reaction every time I develop a roll. Occasionally there’s one ok image but on the whole… 230
Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 07/09/2026As well as Sandeep’s cable release, on the dark side of the foundations there may be an M6. 130
Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 06/09/2026No, I didn’t but now i know you’re looking for it I’ll keep an eye out next time I’m down. 010

Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 29/08/2026There’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! 100
Brian @mcintosh141.bsky.social · 29/08/2026New 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. 150
