    (One of) the most useless pieces of kit he has ever bought (says the purchaser)

    People purchasing such products get what they deserve. Fools and their money are easily parted because ******** baffles brains.

    Miley Cyrus?!

    Miley is the real deal. A year or 2 back, she had a minor operation to remove a growth from her vocal cords and subsequently her voice is a little more husky and sexy, reminiscent of Stevie Nicks. I saw her as a judge on "The Voice" a few years ago and watching her mentoring contestants and...

    Please Help with some Advice

    If the voltage is fine in part 1 of the house but low in part 2 of the house, it would seem like the smart solution is to run 2 or 3 dedicated lines with circuit breakers from the main DB in part 1 of the house to the audio room in part 2 of the house. That way you can also have a dedicated...

    AV media player with internal Hard Drive bay

    As a person who thinks for themselves, is not interested in impressing others and couldn't care less what others think, I decide what I want to use that works for me. I have and use a WD TV Live Hub and will use it till it dies at which point I will replace it with a laptop to be used as a...

    Middle East tensions, the Geopolitical Alliances and how it impacts all of us

    Why people persist with starting middle east political threads which we all know will lead to "decontamination" eventually is beyond comprehension. By all means follow the news and discuss it with your family and friends if you feel so inclined but, preferably don't bring it onto the forum...

    New House Build - Listening Room Size & Tips

    If you intend doing this properly which means allowing for bringing the speakers forward from the front wall if needed and having some space between your seated position and the wall behind you, then your dimensions are too small. Air's stated dimensions are closer to ideal but, if limited for...

    New experiences with state of the art speakers

    As I don't know specifically what you used to listen to, I can only speak to the topic generally. I listen to all genres of music and admittedly, some genres have very little worth listening to from my perspective. I do enjoy so-called "old school" music but, there is also a lot of crap from...

    Interlinks don’t do anything! Or do they? 32 rca cables analyzed

    The solution is to stop concerning oneself with what anyone else thinks irrespective of their qualifications and to trust your own ears. Listen to different cables and decide whether or not you hear any difference. If not, congratulations you can stick with el-cheapo cables as it does not matter...

    End of the discussion

    Unfortunately, most if not all of us (myself included) are susceptible to the visual impact of things. It is human nature and why we enjoy sunrises, sunsets and all things we perceive as "attractive". I have been tempted by good looking audio components and units from reputable brand names but...

    End of the discussion

    When buying audio components, I trust my ears and likewise when buying wine, I trust my palate. I don't buy wine according to the label, price or reputation. I may purchase based on the recommendation of others I know, who enjoy good wine but, I still evaluate it for myself. I do accept that a...

    Bose 301 series iii speaker connector repair or replace

    Since those Bose speakers are not exactly vintage or collector's items that one would like to keep original, I would replace both speakers with multi-way binding posts that give you the option of using bare-wire, spades or banana plugs for convenience. You can always repair the fault connector...

    My i5 Dell laptop does not have any "audio in" options. Can one use an external soundcard via a USB or HDMI connection?

    The Octobass

    If we are being completely honest and forthright here, then the octobass is a rather pointless instrument that does not add anything of musical value and is more of a gimmick. Just my opinion.

    Interlinks don’t do anything! Or do they? 32 rca cables analyzed

    The chap is certainly pleasant enough and does present his experience in a level-headed manner. I do not doubt that he is sincere in what he experienced and is relaying and can only surmise that the selection of cables he has used were simply to close in sonic signature to make much difference...

    sennheiser hd 600

    Since he is not forthcoming with clarification, I think the "delete tree" command is in order. 😂

    sennheiser hd 600

    I may be wrong but, I think the quote above means to say "what options are there, thanks". Still not exactly clear on what you mean specifically and perhaps you may want to use a few more of your words to ask a clearly understandable question if you expect assistance. I promise, you will not run...
