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.

I beat you to it I'm afraid, Paul is selling it to me.

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
