    Hello. This is interesting. Haven't been on this site for a while. don't like the setup of it but this seems an interesting thread though.

    Welcome to the new whathifi.com!

    Don't worry about it John. If it carries on like this there won't be anything to moderate because everyone'll go elsewhere.

    who ever thought to rebuild this site for their gcse project has failed

    Please tell me. Why should I adjust my browser settings just to come on to "amateur valley" when all other sites and forums work well with my existing settings. I was looking at the EB Acoustics website yesterday. Bland, yes but at least it doesn't jump out of the screen and grab you by the...

    who ever thought to rebuild this site for their gcse project has failed

    Agreed. What an amateurish load of old rubbish. This "new site" is a good reason to leave what hifi well alone IMO. I hope they haven't paid good money for this abortion. In fact, I think I'm going to leave this forum well alone from now on. If this is their idea of a good site then it doesn't...

    Hello. Can I ask a question please. Why do we trigger the spam filter in the first place?.

    Excuse my stupidity

    Hello. DougK. Thanks for the advice on the mp3s. Bang on the button. Now got 2 sticks full of music for the car. On the subject of bluetooth for the phone, it was me. Not the car. Broke the rules and read the handbook. Once again, thank you for all your advice.

    Interesting write up regarding lack of progress in speaker design

    He might debunk TLs but he also debunks some of the mastering engineers as well :rofl:

    Hello Richard. Yes. I'll do that when I'm back at home. It's annoying.

    Excuse my stupidity

    Hello. Yes, you're probably right about that. I didn't go near him tho. Didn't need to. Just leant on the roof of the car, looked at him sternly and he scurried off. No harm done. And, in my experience working on the doors around the local area, it's normally the little ones you have to watch...

    Excuse my stupidity

    Hello and thank you for the advice. The car will also accept a USB stick but I believe it is limited to 256k because I tried it with a WAV file and the console said there was nothing on the stick. But we are talking about a car here so I'm not too fussed about that function.

    Excuse my stupidity

    Hello Major. I think it's a 5, not sure because the phone doesn't interest me. Keeps dropping bluetooth connection to the car sound system. The iPod is an interesting gizmo though. I took him out in the car and my car has a lead that will connect to the iPod and interface with the XFs sound...

    Excuse my stupidity

    No sir, on the contrary. And I certainly wouldn't cast aspersions that I'm right and everyone else is an idiot. The object of coming on here is to learn. My son has an iPhone and an iPod. The iPod plugged into my pre with a jack to phono lead sounded better than the phone. He uses the phone more...

    Excuse my stupidity

    Hello. In answer to your rude-ish response, it has nothing to do with the sound quality of portable music devices. Far from it. Although I don't personally use one I was quite surprised by how "un hifi" the sound was to my ears. My son comes round to do my garden sometimes. iPhone or iPod in...
