@gimmeheadroom Ha! Thanks. Garden is still very much a work in progress, but it's come along a fair way compared to how it was when we moved in here back in Feb.

@Pharmaboy It is indeed a printer. I print out, maybe, a page or two every few months so clearly a colour laser printer was what was required

It's a remnant from a time when a friend and I ran our SEO business from an actual office premises. I moved to the countryside and decided to leave that industry entirely, choosing a simple(r) life of gardening to be able to spend more time with my family. However that meant the printer had to go somewhere, and thus it lives on in my home office, patiently waiting for the next time I need to print out a grocery list.

That backyard is really fabulous!

There's no kill like overkill! How do I know? I just got a Lenovo Legion laptop and I'm not really a gamer - 16:10 displays FTW!!

I guess that's the reissue IMSAI? Do you run CP/M on it? What do you do with it?

CP/M, now there's a blast from the past. I got a lot of work done on the old Kaypro until about 1991.

Cambridge Audio makes great gear. [I still use a 640C CD player from 2014: ]

I agree - but I also have an Evo, and I'm less happy about it...

New desk time.

Love the desk pads. Who please?

…What is causing your discontent?

It seems to me like a missed opportunity.
I'm using it as a sort of an AVR (granted, perhaps not the best use, but it does have HDMI), and while it does the job,
the big screen is a missed chance to actually provide proper info (and somethings the info it's too small to read),
not a lot of audio format support (e.g. bitstream),
and the sound it's nothing extraordinary (perhaps the speakers don't do it justice).
Also, it's my second unit - the first one bricked after a firmware update.
But perhaps I'm being too demanding, after my experience with the CX line.

I got the cxn V2+cxa81... Roon provides all the info that U need .

Remember to use BT. Some of these new-fangled el-cheapo lawnmowers will balk if a Sennheiser cable gets wrapped up in the blades.

Spent last Sunday rewiring stuff and adding the pi2aes to the rig.. Digital source setup on the rack to my left with amps and stuff on the desk.

A printer in the hi-fi rack? The horror!

Some concessions were made to keep the household happy I do have to admit. Vibration is a concern of course but as long as I don't power it on while listening is just an eyesore.
