Sweet child in time what the flac just happened....
A large box with a plain wrapper arrived at my house a couple of days ago. Inside was my modified NOS1 "Mourinho Edition" Needless to say some hours of tweaking followed.
I have just finished a session, I am still trembling, the hairs on my arms are still vertical. What a delight, almost erotic! It's like sex with your clothes on. I am not a born reviewer so I must end now before this gets pornographic & I get banned (besides it's addictive)….
Jesus, or should I say St Peter

Well done

Hey Peter
Been upgrading the listening room first, gone from 3.5 x 4.5 metres to 6 x 8 metres allowing my system to take it's proverbial coat off & stretch it's legs. My antique NOS has been working fine in it's new housing with minimal venting as has everything else bearing in mind there are no fans anywhere. Sounds too good to mess with for a while....but to quote Arnie "I'll be back"

Happy Jack

Damn, I thought I could sneak in through the back door without you seeing me! Caught me red handed with my original NOS which has been powered up since day one, in a permanent state of readiness. However, funny you should mention Windows 10....I like to reboot the PC from time to time to "refresh" it. But each time it loses the juli@ interface & needs "persuading" to relocate it. Maybe it's time for an upgrade, what are the options?
By the way, not only is my NOS original, but I think I was your original member when we migrated from Bert's site all those years ago....God I'm getting old
Happy days to you both & whilst I'm in here, Hi Bert

Jack

Hi gang
Anyone using their NOS in a cabinet?
That is to say can it/will it get too hot.
I can vent the unit top & bottom if necessary.
Regards to all....
Jack

Grand Bore more like, I fast forwarded through most of the last episode......real shame to spend so much & achieve so little.

I presume someone is using the Orelo's....?
With presumably more success?
You must be gutted that the sound was not up to the looks.
Were your current speakers salvaged from the wreck of the Nautilus? Horns can be so beautifully quirky in appearance & for me, so far, sonically superior....

Saw the Blockheads in Shoreham, West Sussex a while back.
Well worth it! They had an Ian 'replacement' who did an excellent job. My voice was hoarse for a couple of days afterwards.....The band was as tight as ever. If you have a chance GO!

To all the grieving Spaniards out there I have 4 words of comfort, Marc Marquez & Rafael Nadal, gladiators both!
Can't wait until 8 o'clock this evening though, going to a mates house to watch his newly painted walls dry!
Could be fun, besides there's nothing else happening.

In the early 70's I had an Eagle amp with built in graphic equaliser. With it I could change 'everything' about the sound. Within a few years I had a Meridian, it turned on, up & down, that's it. I could change nothing. It played 'flat'. XXHE is full of 'tone' controls & one day I would like it to be more like my old Meridian, on, up & down. Maybe there will be a default version at some point where coupled with a dog's bollocks PC there will be no more bloody tweaking! Peter.....?

If you really want to do this, why not map the network drive, then your OS should see it as a an 'inboard' drive? Not tried it but.....

But Gerard can do it in Win7......He should not need to in Win8. Oh the mysteries of Microshaft operating systems!

F8 works here! It offers various diagnostic boot options like safe mode & other ways of booting a troublesome OS. I have used it on 8,7, vista, XP,win2000 etc. Maybe you are not hitting F8 soon enough after turning on?

Bert, Peter, I'm surprised at you, taking the piss out of a fellow countryman...or maybe just talking 'Double Dutch'.(Ha bloody Ha)
Gerard, try again using F8 instead & try the repair option, this might pick up your Win8 installation!?

Try hitting F9 repeatedly at boot up. It will give you a screen to choose which OS to boot....
