Runs pretty much contrary to research which shows appropriate background music can promote attention and memory retention and improve productivity There are many references online but there is an NIH study with a paper at: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8357712/

Aha! The ever increasing upgrade opportunity! Standard supplied power supply. Basic RCA cables but I get a much improved headphone audio, which was just the name of the game. To be honest and upgrade to the CR612 or headphones probably would be of at least as much benefit. However, where do...

So having set a budget of £150 for a headphone amp, I splurged on the Topping A50 III. Ever the way with Hi-Fi! Additional cost for a balanced cable, of course. Items were received a few days ago. I've not done a detailed comparison and there is always a risk of perceived improvement when you...

Blimey! You don't hang about!

I suspect you have not de-registered from iMessage? Apple don't allow iMessage to work on other brands. If your phone number is still registered with iMessage then your Dad's iPhone will use that, instead of RCS or Text Messaging. You may need to do the same with Facetime for the same reason...

OP did say he wanted a different brand.

PM6006 does not have digital outputs. RCA lineout, 2 sets of speakers and headphone jack is your lot.

I have the PM6006 (not the UK version) and I've no issue with noise on digital inputs.

I'd probably keep it and investigate the cost getting a battery replacement, assuming you are otherwise happy with the phone. (Also assuming it is the 2022 version.)

Motorola tend to be a bit slow with updates compared to Google and Samsung . G35 support ends in 2027. The Samsung A17 is supported until 2031 You could look at the Pixel 9a which is a bit more expensive but supported till 2032, better specs and better cameras and very rapid updates. The Samsung...

Thanks Gray. Sadly, I am a the other side of the country from you. I did take a look at the Topping A50 111 which I assume to be the upgraded model of your current one. The 569 are 4 pole, so balanced would be possible. I'll mull over a bit longer. Fear being I might need a second one for...

Errrm! Yes, sorry.

I sometimes listen to to my second system Marantz CR612 later in the evening through headphones. Would I seem much improvement from something like the Project Headbox E, connected via the CR612 Amp output RCA connection. i.e. RCA to RCA. System: CR612 . Headphones: Usually Sennheiser HD659...

They were going to ban them from 2035 but those plans have been dropped in favour of "encouraging" people to install heat pumps via grants for heat pumps. They are also looking at a plan to mix 20% hydrogen into the gas supply, currently being piloted in some areas. Most new boilers are...

Especially true with ITV about to be sold to Comcast. It may be that the solution is probably to merge the state owned Channel 4 into the BBC and allow advertising on the platform and possibly a paywall for some programs or ad free access i.e. iPlayer+. The problem here is, Comcast won't...
