Even if it's a closed of room through, there's always an ambient noise level. After the show had finished on Saturday, we carried on playing music until about 7pm, and it was surprising just how much better the system sounded when most other rooms had closed up and sloped off to the...

All I'm trying to say there is there's no reference point for electronic music - artificially created sounds, unless they're presets on a keyboard you have access to, have no reference point as no one knows what they're supposed to sound like.

I think the whole thing about feeling better about your own system stems from a few things: People flitting from room to room aren't going to appreciate anything, and their opinion on any room will be null and void. It takes time to acclimatise to the sound of a system after just having...

It's not really about "what the rich spend their money on". It's called Audio Show Deluxe. That doesn't necessarily only include ridiculously expensive audio, although most of the show ends up being just that. There's not really any other shows for manufacturers/distributors to show this kind of...

If they'd hurry up and install the fibre connection, they wouldn't have to worry about trying to sort out the existing line issue.

On the 12th, I had 181 drop outs. A downtime of 2 hours. That almost matched the whole previous 7 days.

Most people do.

KEF. Also, Amphion.

Maybe it's been used with incorrect anti-skate setting, so the pull has offset the cantilever.

Some would. Pick up some £4k ex-demo speakers and connect them to a Nobsound amp. To which they'll either say it sounds amazing, or end up disappointed because it doesn't sound the mutt's.

And yet, people have issues streaming. Buffering capabilities would be down to the streaming item, and we all know many of these items don't necessarily have a large enough cache. Playing Devil's advocate... What if, some or all music streaming services do what Netflix does, and throttles the...

Sub contractors are useless.

It's why I don't post images any more.

What would you consider "safe level of exposure"?
