  It seems pretty good to me, and easily able to hear the difference between FLAC/Spotify/Qobuz variants of the same song, so I know it's not all bollocks.

  However, it's expensive compared to a Chromecast, and the method for finding/playing FLAC files via the Yamaha app on my NAS is fucking awful. Going to experiment with Twonky later to see if it's better.

  The Spotify/Qobuz/Tidal integrations are pretty much flawless, and you can turn it on remotely, which is awesome.

  Sorry for the delay, installed it last week and not got round to pictures.

  Overally, I'm really impressed. It's not shiny as in the pictures (doesn't bother me) and seems incredibly sturdy for it's size and weight. It weighs next to nothing and has completely transformed the front end of the bike.

  I zip tied a Wald Basket to it and it's night and day compared to the old legs.

  One thing I will note is that if you have a lot of space between wheel and fork crown you will struggle to mount it. I actually have bolted ours to a Fender Flute as it did not reach the fork crown.

  I'd also say the 9kg weight limit is pretty true too.

  Still got it too, couldn't resist keeping the bike storage (a shade under 10 at the moment).

  I'm working in tea at the moment, still in e-commerce, much less exciting than my last job for sure.

  How you finding NYC? I always fancied a punt living there, but could never stomach the insurance/health/tax stuff.

  Fuuuuuuuck! That must make me...thirty three!

  Good memories (if a little hazy) from those, what are you up to at the moment? Saw from another thread you were in NYC?

  Nah, I'm in Marylebone now - moved away from the previous role 😁

  Glad to still hear you're on board the hug train, are there still SE drinks to deal them out?

  Glad to see this thread exists, as I've just become a card-carrier.

  I've just inherited my Dad's Sansui AU717 and my Grandpa's Sony PS-LX5 turntable, and I've paired it with some Kef IQ5s and a Yamaha Music Cast.

  Sadly, the turntable isn't behaving well, anyone got a recommendation for a repair?
