Some of those options are more, or not like for like products.

Or, he might.

Like for like price points, the source component will usually have the better DAC (generally speaking), as there's usually a lot more inside an amplifier than a CD player, especially when you start adding phono stages and streaming etc. Of course, it'll be more down to the implementation than...

I don't know if it's sorted, but the Apple TV box had a habit of reverting back to the previously used settings when choosing to watch something. So the idiot May not be correct, or the HDR was incorrect. Big thing about it in the product thread on a certain AV forum...

The LS60s were released in June 2022. They ran a £1k saving from the beginning of September 2023 to the end of October 2023, and were then reduced to £4.5k for Black Friday in November 2023 which was to run until the end of January 2024, but in January 2024 they decided to keep them at £4.5k...

Anything that claims thousands of channels or all films channels etc is always illegal. Nothing legal can offer that. Even if you go for one, if any loopholes get closed, you've got a useless stick - and you're just lining the pockets of people who don't work or pay taxes.

There's a lot of used hi-fi sellers out there, many of which are just "working" from home and cashing in on the boom in used audio at the moment. There's another one that was mentioned on a Facebook group recently who is extremely rude and abusive to customers, before and after sales. They don't...

I bet Facebook are exempt...

And they'll always use the bare minimum they can get away with, as most people don't care.
