The 2023 Bristol Hi-Fi Show is in full swing. Held at the Delta Hotels Marriott, Bristol City Centre Hotel from 24-26 February and now in its 34th year, it's a welcome return after a Covid-induced absence of three years.
For UK-based lovers of quality audio and the equipment that produces it, a visit to the Bristol Show is a must. It is Britain’s biggest and longest-running exhibition event of its kind and it's certainly been good to be back.
More than 160 exhibitors are showing their wares this year, and Team What Hi-Fi? are here too, answering queries, bringing you highlights from the show floor, and giving live demonstrations of our bespoke custom-built, multi-speaker AV surround sound system incorporating the latest TV tech.
Excellent show, a treat to the ears, Back after Covid.
Chord Electronics first took flight from the aviation world, where engineering without limits means uncompromising standards. This concept designed by company owner John Franks has helped shape our philosophy since the company’s inception in 1989. Our first amplifiers were supplied to the BBC, followed by world-leading studios including Abbey Road, Sony Music (New York) and later, The Royal Opera House.
Our reputation within the professional world generated demand for a domestic range encompassing the design, engineering and build standards demanded of the finest pro equipment. Today, we apply proprietary technologies to all of our British-made products and proudly deliver studio-grade audio performance across the entire Chord range.
Taken for Macro Mondays, this weeks theme: Crime. CableCos are criminals. Would like to ditch and just stick with a 50MB connection to the net, but Kristin isn't down with the media center MacMini and antenna. *side note: this bill is from last year, it has since gone up (went paperless)
De Punt was de plek, waar Benthuizerstraat (links) en Bergweg (rechts) samenkomen. In het gebouw waar nu Correct zit, waren vroeger de bioscopen Transvalia en Victoria gevestigd.
At least partially brought up to date connecting to a Bluetooth enabled system utilising a nifty "Taotronics" BT sender unit.
Note that the MD remote is from a much later unit.
Immerse yourself in your music with the MCD85 SACD/CD Player. The MCD85 with its open chassis design is not only a serious piece of music hardware, but it shows that you are serious about your love of music. With the great success of our similarly retro styled MC275 and MC1502 Vacuum Tube Amplifiers, MA252 and MA352 Integrated Amplifiers, and the warm reception of the recently introduced MC830 Solid State Amplifier and C8 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier that also have retro touches, it's clear that many people want their home stereo system not to blend in, but instead to be distinctive looking. To be put on display. To be a conversation starter. To make the statement that "A Serious Music Lover Lives Here." The MCD85 does all that. And more.
The MCD85 can play store bought SACDs and CDs as well as music from homemade CD or DVD Data Discs. Numerous file formats can be played from these discs including AAC, AIFF, ALAC, DSD (up to DSD128), FLAC, MP3, WAV, and WMA. The USB Audio input supports up to DSD256 and DXD 384kHz, and can be used to stream digital music from a computer or other digital storage device. There's also two coax and two optical digital inputs that support PCM signals up to 192kHz.
MCD85 SACD/CD Player with a pair of matching MC830 Solid State Amplifiers and C8 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier along with XR100 Speakers. All units sold separately.
Conversion of the digital data stored on the discs or in the digital music stream into an analog signal for playback is performed by a quad balanced, 8-channel, 32-bit/192kHz Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). Four DAC channels are dedicated to the left audio channel, and four to the right audio channel to ensure truly exceptional stereo sound reproduction.
Both balanced and unbalanced fixed analog stereo outputs are available to connect the MCD85 to your preamplifier, integrated amplifier, and other home audio system components. Thanks to its narrower width and balanced outputs, it can be placed close to your listening position for ease of loading discs, with long balanced cables connecting it to your audio system without fear of signal loss.
The MCD85 employs 2x read speed, meaning all discs placed in its sturdy die-cast tray are read at higher speeds, allowing their data to be stored in a buffer memory for better error correction and tracking. The tray features a new, custom front beveled nose to match the angle of the chassis and provides smooth and quiet disc handling. Disc reading is performed in the high-quality disc mechanism by a twin laser optical pickup that uses a single objective lens with two laser units, with each employing different wavelengths that are optimized for SACD and CD playback. Power Control and data ports allow for seamless integration with other McIntosh home audio system components.
A die-cast aluminum name badge is affixed to each side of the chassis. The front, top and rear of the chassis is polished to a mirror finish – just like on the aforementioned MC275, MC1502, MA252, MA352, MC830 and C8 – making the MCD85 a welcome and matching addition to any system using those models. But the MCD85 is not limited to systems using just those models as it has all the necessary connections and McIntosh design traits to fit into any McIntosh home audio system. The MCD85 features a black glass front panel with direct LED backlighting for improved appearance, silver trim, an illuminated logo, and rotary control knobs. Contact your local dealer to learn more.
You wouldn't want to drop one of these on your foot!
A real heavyweight quality job, displaying the much underutilised "time stamp" function from a recording I made from the radio some years ago.
The "squidgy" capstan belt has just dropped off the capstan without any encouragement!
Unfortunately the transport has to be removed from the chassis and rotated through 90 degrees to allow access to the parts which need to be removed in order to replace the belt.
The capstan motor desperately needed some lubrication (it was squealing horribly), this was done, and the motor now runs almost silently again.
HONG KONG - MAY 25: A group of people takes a picture of themselves from the Victoria Peak Lookout with the Hong Kong skyline as a backdrop on May 25, 2014, in Hong Kong, China. Hong Kong, with a population of nearly 8 million people, has become one of the world's most important trade and financial centers since the British relinquished control of the region in 1997 to the People's Republic of China.

I pulled some of my electronics boxes out of the attic in anticipation of packing up everything for the big move. The rest are in the basement.
I still have a box for a VCR I bought in 1994 and a LaserDisc player I bought in 1995.
