Only if they loaned it to me in the first place...

When you run a group or forum using a manufacturer's name, you're essentially representing them, so you have to be extra careful how you run it in order to not end up losing the brand business or negatively affecting their image. You can't be "you". If it gets to that point, I think a...

I doubt I'd trust anything from Soho Road! :LOL:

I think I'll catch an outgoing Bravia 9 - that'll do for the next 5 years or so.

All depends if people are expressing an opinion, or presenting what they say as facts. Many present things to stir, not to present balanced views. Balanced views contain neutral wording.

And that's what people need to realise - there's way too many people on social media trying to tell others they're wrong. If you mention you heard a difference between some cables back in 1982, you're immediately pounced upon and told that's impossible because 'science says so', and in some...

At the end of the day, between this thread and the cable thread that's currently running, I think some people seem to forget this is a hobby, a pastime, something to enjoy. It's up to you how you enjoy it, whether you choose your equipment with your ears or by measurements - it's there to help...

Was a bit of a different story back in 1983, even into the 90s.

We'll see, when they eventually get round to installing fibre and the drop outs disappear.

You can project all you like, but I've already stated why I dislike them. The Emperor gives his thumbs up/thumbs down, and either it's all nicey nicey, or it's a witch hunt. There's a lot of hatred over there, all fuelled by their leader. And anyone who dares speak up are pummelled by the sheep...

I think like everything nowadays, online groups have appeared which only serve to stir the pot, spoil, take the fun out of everything for those that enjoy the hobby/pastime. I remember being in secondary school, maybe about 12/13, early 80s, and drawing the Technics system I was going to buy...
