Re: How to make an audiophile cry

Anybody remember Top Gear and the indestructible Toyota Hi Lux?

Re: Best hifi gadget you own?

Probably turntable set up / alignment tools, used very infrequently but when required are an absolute must. Spirit level is handy too.

Most used gadget would be remote control for the amp.

Re: Streaming - how many are doing it?

Fran, when I set up the kitchen rig, I decided to use a cubicle in the integrated presses etc. Speakers went on top, but I was limited to about 300mm in height.

Re: What music are you listening to currently?

On the TT, The Chemical Brothers….Dig your own hole…

Released 7th April 1997.

I do like Interstellar Radio, prior to that was Ocean Radio Chilled, but that seems to have gone off the net. But there is a lot of stuff on the...

Re: Speakers I have owned over the years, what about you?

Ahh... yes.... going down memory lane now... First true HiFi speaker was Acoustic Energy AE109, bought in the HiFi store on Aston Quay next to the Virgin Mega Store. For some reason I am never able to remember the name of the store and I have to be reminded every time. Next up was Acoustic Energy Ae...
