Hi all, I have a Rio Receiver that I bought from the US which I don't want any more (bought a SlimP3 in the end).

Thought that I'd offer it on here, before going to ebay.

I have a colleague at work who has first refusal, but I don't think that he wants it, since it doesn't work with his Wireless kit.

I'd prefer a buyer in the UK, especially since they are hard to source over here..

Paul.

Hi Paul,

I've just sent you a PM with my email in it - I'd certainly be interested, if it's still available.

Cheers,
Bryan.

Damn.

That'll teach me to forget my username and password for this site!

Yeah, sorry for the lack of update - my mistake!

I might be able to get another one though - let me check for you Brian.

Cheers,

Paul.

That'd be good - though I keep getting tempted by the Slimp3, too. How does it compare, and where did you get it? www.ihavetohave.it or somewhere else?

Cheers,
Bryan.

I did get it from ihavetohave.it, and I have to say service from them was very good.
I like the slimp3 a lot, especially on the display front - there is no way I can use the rio from anywhere but very close - the slimp3 can display in two line mode, which means I can be a long way away - useful for the g/f, since she's got pretty bad eyesight.

On the other hand the slimp3 probably doesn't sound quite as good, is twice the price and looks a little 'homemade' (similar to the empeg mk1 in that respect).

I've not really done any critical listening to it yet, but my composer friend who has one says that it's a little 'toppy' compared to the rio.

The final plus for me was the openness of the software - the slimp3 stuff is actively under development and has some very nice features (command line interface, plugin module interface, easy web gui), so I was swayed.

Cheers,

Paul
