amazing coincidence - just watched the last few episodes of season two.

Please post pics of your favourite listening chair. I'm setting up my study as a listening room. Currently I'm using a bar stool, which is not ideal, especially for listening longer than 20 mins. So I need some inspiration - is there anything I should be avoiding? Someone said big headrests...

Hi all What are you favourite songs to take along when auditioning new systems or parts? And what do you listen out for in each song? Is there a technical checklist you work through, or is it more a "feeling" that decides whether take it? How do you choose the parts you do? :)

cool thanks - will get some pool filter sand and bake it slowly this afternoon

ha ha! heavier :) will have to weigh in later with a balanced review

Wouldn't be the first time I've done something dumb :) From what I can tell, the speakers have been designed to be filled with sand (tannoy mx3). There's a little bung at the back which I assume one fills using a funnel. Any particular sand work best?

@Byrd, @mafioso: that's (polysty)Rex, the best woofer. The body corporate don't allow real dogs. Why not send me your wife's number, Byrd? I'm more than happy to show her the bedroom in person. ;)

Hi y'all So the internet recommends filling my speakers with sand or lead shot. Is this common practice? It sounds like total crazy talk.

Thank you!    Mr Min: 1, Gunk: 0 Letting it soak made it easy. @Byrd- ha ha: yeah, checked the tape was definitely gone :) Have made that particular mistake a few more times than is comfortable admitting.

Does anyone have advice for removing box tape glue/residue from the sides of speakers? They look to be be made of melamine or something melamine-like. I've been trying sunlight soap and hot water, hand sanitiser, staring, without much luck. Would it be safe to use handyandy? I'm worried it...

Yeah, the HK is not short of power, but I'd like to be able to tweak the sound a bit, experiment with the equalization, tonal variance. The HK just adds oomph, it doesn't let you change the colour of the signal. "Preamp" might be the wrong word? So much to learn :) Sources are cd and ipod.

Hawwow! I've got a HK3480 running some Jamo S506's at home, and would like to experiment with a preamp, to see what all the fuss is about. Can anyone recommend a preamp that works well with the above? I'm a noob with a limited budget in cape town. Cheers all!

Had I known what hunger that first HK Play&Go was about to awaken, I would have run from the shop, thumbs solidly wedged into my ears, all the way up to the knuckles. But I stood immobile, feet, tapping, rooted to the spot. The most I could manage was an awkward head swivel as my ears and...
