    What stations do you listen to?

    I have internet radio steaming in the background from breakfast time until evening meal time, and then sometimes again late night. Breakfast Show = Marley in the Morning (All Sounds Radio, but also syndicated by various local radio stations); then NTS Radio Channels 1 and 2 (no ads, sub is...

    New Streaming Amplifier

    Thanks for this - I was really looking for someone to compare what appear to be two similar products. I must locate the WHF Eversolo Play review, then, as well: it's obviously got more features (although no remote), but ultimately the soundstage quality will trounce that if I can live with the...

    New Streaming Amplifier

    I've got an Audiolab 6000A, too - in my study. Tops out at 96kHz, but does a pretty good job for me. Currently deciding what streaming amp system to put in (medium sized) kitchen: choosing between Eversolo Play (w/o CD) and WiiM Amp Ultra. Read just one poor review of Eversolo sound quality...

    Easiest way to add streaming

    What feature has just gone from Amazon? I was thinking of using my current Amazon Unlimited subscription as the source for a streaming centre from my PC. I want to see track + playlists, etc on a large screen: can you suggest a source to get info on how to do this? Many thanks.

    Yamaha CDR-HD1300

    I bought a Yamaha CDR-1300-II in Dec 2004, so surprisingly only 20 years old! It's a great, unique piece of kit, and gave me hours of techie recording and editing pleasure back in the day. It's still wired into my system, but I don't think I've touched it for 3 or 4 years! Originally, I...

    Amazon devices with Alexa do not have digital output . . .

    Ok, I understand, and a good rule. After posting my original text, I realised that it would be better as a stand-alone thread because it was really significantly different from the start point of the thread to which i was replying. Not sure what you have now deleted? Could you let me know?

    Amazon devices with Alexa do not have digital output . . .

    Amazon devices with Alexa do not have digital output, but my work-around using Amazon Music Unlimited with Alexa is to use a mic connected to my PC (with WO Mic client) and I then have up to 24bit/192MHz sound on my stereo amp set-up. [My PC has a dedicated hi-spec soundcard.] I've not...

    Cassette Decks

    I have a Denon DN-790R: I originally bought it (in 1996!) because it has wide ranging adjustment features which might work with my large self-made recordings across AKAI, JVC and Denon decks. Rarely use it now, but it does serve the purpose I bought it for. This is a useful review from...

    Your Song/Track of the Day

    Thanks for reminding me of Sub Sub; this track could do with being a bit longer / developed.

    Streaming services - what are YOU using?

    At the moment I have 3 music streaming subs: (1) googleplay @£7.99 (reduced price because I was an original subscriber) is good for vast catalogue - would discontinue because it is only Standard def, but has quite a few tracks not available from other two; (2) Tidal HiFi @£19.99 - unsure about...

    Amazon Music Unlimited HD

    Been fine for me for last few weeks. Would have been nice for Amazon to let us know there was an issue to be resolved. At the moment I have 3 music streaming subs: (1) googleplay @£7.99 (reduced price because I was an original subscriber) is good for vast catalogue - would discontinue because...
