I sold a mate who was setting up on his own my old Sony str da1200es and Wharfedale Diamond 9.4 which had been in storage for a while. Got them set up but they kept causing the amp to trip and go into “safe mode”. After some diagnostics I deduced that it was one of the speakers causing the...

I’ve just took the plunge and bought myself a projector which I’m looking forward to setting up but I now (good excuse) need a new AV receiver. I currently have an Onkyo TX-NR609 which I’ve had quite a few years now and I was interested in replacing it with the Sony str-dn1050 this is for two...

And the ipod touch. I’ve wondered before how many of the previous models Apple sell once the new one comes out, in my (some what limited) experience I’ve never found the previous model quite cheap enough to be a serious contender, they seem to price them initially a little to close to the new...

So going back to my original post, do people now think the speaker dock manufactures may start selling their kit cheap and the second hand market will be flooded with people selling off their now obsolete kit?

Yeah of course, still won’t be that aesthetically pleasing having a 1 inch piece of white plastic stuck on top of your dock, especially as the iphone / apple products are all about the looks! I also wonder if it might put extra strain on the connectors having a greater turning moment on the...

Well now we know, it's going to cost you £25 (offically) for every device you want to use your Iphone 5 with. Not cheap if you ask me! http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter

I’m not really worried about it, just trying to save myself a few quid, I’ve hung on this long so I can hang on a bit longer, just wanted to know people opinions and it would appear people think the change of connector won’t affect the market. Well I suppose we will find out in a month or so...

True but look at the sales figures of the S3, 10 million in a couple of months. Assuming Apple will try and match this there are going to be a lot of people looking for a new dock. A lot of them will probably just switch to the using the aux but we all know that isn’t ideal. An adapter will be...

I’ve been thinking for a while about getting myself a speaker dock and / or a ipod dock (for my 160gb Classic) but as yet not pulled the trigger partly because I’ve just got a Samsung Galaxy S3 as a new phone. Now my question is do people think the prices of speaker docks and Ipod docks...

Found these on ebay, some one has to get them and give them a review! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Deluxe-1240watt-Black-5-Way-Surround-Sound-Home-Cinema-Speaker-System-Hi-Fi-/150816388660#ht_3109wt_1185 PS. I’m not selling them!

No not seen them or tested but they could be good for running celling / garden speakers on the cheap. Somewhere for background music where SQ isn't important

500mb Hard Drive? That's a tad excessive!

Seems like it was a good price, they are now £120 and £100 each!

Play are doing Blackbox Headphones on their one day only deals, they are selling the M16 for £60 and the M10 for £50. Now would these be a 5 star product considering their review cost? Anyone got them? I'm tempted!

Would an old 5.1 amp with 2 pairs of floor stands work?
