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.

This and Mars Attacks are brilliant spoofs (y)

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...

Reputation and reliability.

Aah, noted Jason, I hadn't considered that (y)

Maybe yes, maybe no. My last three systems have been Marantz, my previous amp+player was the predecessor of your current 8005 system. Unfortunately, as I bought both my current amp+player at the same time I can't comment on which box had the biggest impact on sound reproduction, but the...
