It's revoltingly bland! Drunk by my wife with lots of lime cordial.. Lo cal ftw

I'd be tempted to give that another pass.. And then turn on the sprinkler

I've never "got" BoC.. Didn't buy their records at the time despite one of close friends being vaguely connected to Skam.. Decided to give the debut album a listen this week.. Still don't get the love!

That's the same guy I was thinking of! His mono blocks seem like willy waving overkill but I think they could probably drive anything

Are you looking at diy or pre built?

There seems to be an element of hifi bullshit about the streaming part of the equation. As far as I can tell anything that delivers the 0s and 1s will do. Any dither will be dealt with by the DAC.
The DACs seem to all use the same basic chips and the Chinese guys seem to have started using decent power supplies.
The class D amps seem to provide clean power for a fraction of the cost of conventional class A amps from the usual suspects.Add miniDSP and room correction..
Can't wait for the chinese manufacturers to figure out speakers!
-
I think you have lots of permutations and tinkering ahead! Trying the Toppings as amps or dacs, L/R v frequency, where the sub cut off should be in the dsp etc..
Who knows what will sound best! Really interesting.. Keep us posted.. I'm really interested how the mismatched pricey amps fare against the chi-fi
I wonder if the new hifi paradigm is to spend all your cash on speakers, then drive with multiple chi fi amps, fed with cheap DAC and mini dsp

Active sub or powered by the amp(s)?

With public chargers you never know if they will be broken or occupied when you get there.. The tesla chargers are like a first class lounge in an airport in comparison.

If you don't need a car right now, wait. Likely that the car trade is facing a bit of a meltdown. Should be a buyers market.
What kind of car do you want? Saloon, hatch, estate suv? Are you a cash buyer or finance involved?
I'd also check that whether your deposit is refundable if the V60 is delayed.
Edit.. This looks a reasonable lease deal (from the pistonheads thread)

I've only made one long trip in the leaf when i bought it 4 years ago. Chorley to Glasgow. We stopped 4 times to charge (2 miles left on the range indicator at one point). Public chargers were deserted on the M6 and M74 and 30 minutes of quick charge gets you up to over 80%. At that time there were very few electric vehicles about but even then there were rows of Tesla chargers and two public chargers at the motorway services.
The public charger infrastructure is a complete mess with all sorts of different providers who all require a different shitty app.
If you want an electric car to travel long distance the Tesla M3 is the only option because of Tesla's charging infrastructure.
I bought the leaf for financial reasons as that time they were unwanted on the second hand market. The business development manager at Chorley Nissan bought about 50 three year old gen 1 leafs that had been returned on lease and managed to get Nissan to provide warranty and competitive finance. I took out a 3 yr PCP at a stupidly cheap monthly with the view that if the car was shit I'd hand it back. Financially it has barely depreciated and the running costs are tiny. The battery degradation has been reasonable with a reduction in indicated range of about 10 miles. I haven't bothered to analyse the batteries using one of the 3rd party apps and I have always charged to 100% I didn't bother getting a home charge point as the cables are different across manufacturers with the leaf having a type one socket (and a Chademo) so I've just charged with the granny cable to a 3 point plug.
The gen 1 leaf has a conventional heater so range in the winter is an issue. My wife often uses our petrol car if she has more stuff to do.
The leaf is vastly superior to a petrol car for town driving essentially because its quiet, has no gears and instant torque. Ours has been completely reliable but the ICE is typically Nissan shit.
I was tempted to replace our petrol car with a Tesla but there is something really dreary about the M3 and I just couldn't spend £500 a month when there are more interesting options at that price (also I couldn't spend that much on a car despite the tax advantages).
Electric cars make perfect white goods a to b runabouts but for something more interesting I'd still go petrol.

Leaf only really used for short trips/commuting. I'll post a longer response later.

I've had a gen 1 leaf for almost 4 years..

I have a pair of these in my kitchen plugged into a chromecast audio and I'm pretty happy with them.. Struggle at high volumes but for the money (I paid £450 ish) I think they're pretty good.They lack the connectivity and dsp of the LS which in your room might be useful.
Depends how much you want to spend!
