    What are you watching?

    I have to admit I haven't watched a full episode since the 1980’s. I don't remember the fifth housemate.

    Go Back to CD?

    It's taking me longer than I wanted but that's what I'm doing. Started years ago but just never seem to have the time to get it finished. Then I stream to CCA, Denon RCD-N7. Or at night in bed stream to my phone via Bubble UPnP.

    What are you watching?

    I've played the train scene and the hand grenade scene from the university challenge episode to my kids and they just didn't get it🤣. I frequently WhatsApp the "bored bored bored" clip where Vivian hits Rick over the head with the cricket bat, to my family when it's a slow day at work.

    Use of switch and galvanic isolation between router and streamer.

    You know I don't think I've ever got through a full Linus video. His voice is so annoying 🤣

I have one in the same room as the router, as it's an eero that only has one ethernet out. That then feeds the 4 others in the house (front room, cellar...

    What's your best media player on Windows or Mac or maybe even Linux, Android etc etc. ?

    My little town has just such a shop, Wax and Taps Record Bar and Grill, plus a small dedicated record shop Arkham Records.

    STREAMING QUALITY

    The subject of numerous other threads but do you think we'll ever get the higher quality Spotify promised, how many years ago? Or are they just content with messing around with the UI?

    First HiFi for a teenager?

    Mine have been using my hifi for years, Spotify through CCA. Played their own CD's before I got the CCA's. Can't really call them kids anymore, eldest 30 twins 26. Oh well the house is big enough and with rents and mortgages as they are...but that's another story.
