A recommendation, http://www.radiosure.com/

A zillion stations, searchable, sorted by genre, country etc, with recording (to mp3 with title and artist name etc).
It's excellent. Free (the paid version for some extras, and to give the developpers some well deserved renumeration).

Having to test the Nas as it was dropping the stream when it went on to the next song:-(

It seems I had an IP address conflict with my atv2 box.

Seems to have sorted it :-)

That's bad luck with the teac unit :-)

Yamaha make really good amps.

I have a 23 year old av amp of there's cost me £500 back then.

You should enjoy the sound.

Does it state a run in time in the book?

No run time stated in the booklet so I am using caution only on for 30 minutes after it had reached room temperature @ 30% volume,
Then 90 min yesterday evening @ 50% volume,
40 min just now to play an Lp @ 25% volume then I will switch it on again this evening for 2 hours & gradually increase the time it stays on & increase the volume over the next 2 weeks.

I used to have a NAD with signal meters about 25 years ago brilliant amp.

Back to the Yamaha -80dB = no sound -40dB is quiet -30 is just right -20dB is very loud I think the ceiling may come down @ -10dB :) so I will not go there.

So it is back to front as you said :eek:

Nothing has changed then. My old Yamaha was the same :-)

Hopefully you will get a good number of years out of it.
