Just found out my idol Pete Doherty was once married to Tony Blair[^].

Quote: pleaded guilty to possession of crack cocaine, heroin, cannabis and ketamine
Quote: in his younger days, Doherty worked as a drug dealer to pay for his drug habit
Quote: stole various items, including an old guitar and a laptop computer
As I see Tony Blair isn't the worst item on that list...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I'm guessing you googled him. Never ceases to amaze me how many people don't know of him or The Libertines music - so many have missed out.

You right. I never ever heard of him, but basically it doesn't matter...I get a bad feeling every time I hear about an idol - one makes great music or other art and performance, but when not on the stage struggles with drugs and such...I can not separate the two...I feel sorry for him, but can't name him idol even the music is fantastic...

Who the f*** is Pete Doherty?

No. and no, and more no.
Must be English humor.

Yes realise that, just thought it was a great coincidence you posted the exact title of a film about him "Who the F*** is Pete Doherty"

You need to spend more time googling Tony Blair.

It seems, that due to being a competitive shootist in my earlier years, coupled with years of motor-cycling before the industry invented low wind-noise helmets, under domestic pressure I will now have to wear hearing aids. A recent hearing test shows that my hearing is OK at low frequencies, but tails off rapidly as the frequency increases.
I often listen to music in the evenings using my Stax or Sennheiser headphones, while MrsLadyWife watches TV, but I now need to shape the sound to match my hearing, as per the hearing aid graphs. I have a good graphic equalizer loaded on my Android, and some good headphones to go with it, so I need to be able to plug a Bluetooth or WiFi thingy into the RCA out from my pre-amp, and pick it up on my Android, and thus to the headphones.
So - does the hive mind of CP have any suggestions of how I should set about this? What kind of 'thingy' do I need? I should point out that headphones cannot be used with the hearing aids I am currently evaluating, and anyway, the sound quality is very poor.
Please shout your reply very loudly, or I won't hear you.

PARDON!
Please send me you Stax headphones (I already have the Sennheiser HD-650) It would appear you are not making best use of them.

You may be onto something there Griff, personally I would get the new ChromeCast Audio device.
Then using the eq function in something like BubbleUpnp you could adjust the eq as required.
I'm not sure if it would work, yet, I'm picking up my ChromeCast Audio device tonight, I will update when I've tried it.

second the vote for chromecast audio. It's only about $10 more expensive than the cheapest chinese junk-quality wifi dlna box, and works reliably.

Yes, I just got mine today, setup was simple and the audio quality seems good.
I'm streaming FLAC to it from my media server and its working fine, not sure if its loss-less or converted on the fly, I'm guessing loss-less.

Thanks for that - I found it earlier, but I think it works the wrong way. I want a magic thingy that sucks music out of the pre-amp, digitizes it, and sends it to the Android, whereas that seems to take the Wi-Fi signal and push it to the HiFi RCA connector.
|

Would SoundWire work for you? I'm not sure as I've never tried it, it uses a PC(with line-in) to digitise and send the audio, you should be able to equalise at the PC. Is your source mainly analogue?
