It's the Emperor's New Clothes. I've always said that if you go off to parents' evening and twelve teachers tell you that your kid is great and one says your kid's a horror, it says more about that teacher than your kid. The silence of What Hifi about the Wiim Mini is deafening. The little...

On the weekend we had to paint a small area of the ceiling above where my system is and so I moved my speakers into a really random position, breaking all the rules. Close to walls etc... Decided to have a listen and was still impressed. For the most part they disappeared, the soundstage was...

A short while ago I started a thread on the subject of getting voices/performances to sound as if they are “in the room” and how to set up your system to do so if at all possible. So many reviewers say they hear the performer in their actual room but my experience at listening to really high end...

Thanks for the intro to Tom Waits! Wow!!

Thank, enjoyed!!!

As a photographer of over 40 years and a collector of photography I have to say that this challenge is difficult. I've seen the attempts and very few if any pop out as arty. Remember, WAF is there for a reason. HiFi is ugly. Minimalist designs are better but they’re no work of art. I did try...

Just checked online, 8 tracks.

I had the Mad Magazine “Super Spectacular Day” 45 that cam on the cover and had seven parallel tracks so you never knew which version of the song would play when you dropped the needle.
