The Amazon Fire TV arrived on Friday and immediately replaced both the Apple TV and the Sony network media player in my family room system. One box instead of two, one SMPS instead of two and one ethernet connection instead of one.
The beauty of the Amazon Fire TV box is that I can now easily watch Netflix or Amazon Prime Video without changing inputs of my DAC or TV. Less chance for a macro to go wrong.
The experiment was to move the PC outside my listening room and then to use a 5m Chord HDMI and 5m USB cables to control and monitor the PC.
The worry was running a good monitor at 1920 by 1200 over a 5m HDMI cable. Would the image quality be reduced? The image was absolutely fine and so much so that I temporarily tried a 10 m cable which worked just as well.

I always knew that there was a danger in working on this site in full view of anyone and everyone – I should be so lucky. It’s not catastrophic but I changed the style of linking and I have broken quite a few on the internal links. Sorry if you are looking for an up…
Now that the Neat MF9s have run in and stabilised it was time to spend some time moving them a few centimeters at a time to find a more ideal position.
I’ve added some images for Chord, Keith Monks, Thorens and Neat Acoustics. This is still very much work in progress. Sort of learning on the job really; except I’m trying to learn how to get the best out of WordPress and all the plugins, widgets etc late in the evenings.
I’ve been experimenting with NextGen Gallery and have used it to upload some selected images including the images of the new Naim NAIT XS
