Flat white coffee.
Today, Wednesday 15th July, 2020.
At Table 7 - 'The Two Brothers' cafe.
6-8 Burns Bay Road, Lane Cove, northern Sydney.
Photographed with a Samsung Galaxy S20+ mobile phone camera.
I had to visit Lane Cove today to go to Len Wallis Audio to get them to help me connect my new bluetooth/wifi speaker, a Naim Mu-So (Gen 2), to the wifi network!! It would not, no matter what I did, connect to my Netgear Nighthawk 5G router/modem, and nor would it bluetooth my Spotify music from the Samsung Android mobile phone! So frustrating, because the Bose Home Speaker connects seamlessly, as does the 'el cheapo' JBL Link 10 speaker in the shower. But not the Naim. No way. It kept rejecting the network.
Anyway, within seconds, the guy at the audio place had connected the Bluetooth, despite lecturing me as to why I did not buy an Apple smart phone, and condemning my Samsung Android.
And then, after downloading a firmware update from Naim (why on earth does it not come with up-to-date firmware?), the damn thing connected to the network and played from Spotify and Tidal. Hooley Dooley. It would not do it for me.
So I left my new Naim Mu-So in the store to avoid seeing it smirking at me, and I retreated down the road to a cafe with my much disliked Samsung Android phone. Not to return until much later. I also, for good measure, bought a new variegated Phalaenopsis orchid from a groovy florist in Lane Cove called 'The Spotted Orchid'.
The Naim is back home with me now. But it is still in its box. I will get it out later and it had better connect to the network here or there will be big trouble.
Cheers!
Update - Wednesday, 22nd July, 2020 - the Naim is working fine by bluetooth and also by 5G wi-fi.
It is a great relief. Thanks to Len Wallis Audio of Lane Cove, for helping me.
The Naim does sound good, but I think it needs a graphic equaliser to boost the bass. Not so, say Naim. But anyway, it is good.
