Nothing four times the price will give you four times the performance in hifi. It's all diminishing returns :)

It's a ruddy shame the private messaging has been removed. I've had some good chats with guys on here using the facility. Fortunately, two members whom I've become good friends with I have mobile numbers and emails addresses for. Not gonna make any other good friends on here now am I :(

I know, I know, I know. Do I get a prize for getting it right? ;)

Not as good as they used to be. My nephew hates his new one, nothing but trouble in the three months he's had it. Ford are actually going to take his back and build him another one.

I've been an avid viewer since the late 70's. Nearly stopped watching after the farcical Verstappen championship win in 2021. You've probably missed the Max "win at all costs" mentality over the years, but he's b*ggered this year as he hasn't got a good car, but doesn't stop him pushing other...

Couldn't agree with you more. Been a huge Dune fan since reading Dune Trilogy back in the 80's, a book I found very difficult to put down. Villeneuve's offerings are as you've stated, wonderfully cinematic and visually stunning. However, from my recollections of the novel his interpretation...

I don't do YouTube for anything to do with hifi, except if it's an instructional video, like setting up my turntable up from scratch as the boxed instructions were as good as useless. YouTube is great is great for everything except hifi opinions, you can never be certain if the reviewer is in...
