Precisely. It's a marketing dream - some people will think the TV must be better. The same sort of people that thought wired, analogue headphones with the words 'for digital' printed on them, made them special.

No need to go mad with room treatment. But you do see speakers in some hideous environments - ironically, often in marketing photos for speakers 🤨

The type of study that plays classical music to goldfish....and they get paid for that too 😉

People that (claim to) work in their office while they listen to music. Sorry, but you can't do both properly, unless you don't need a brain to be doing your 'work' - and if that's the case, nobody should be paying you to do it. "I need a new system for my work office" 🤬 off.

One thing at a time Rev 😉 I never understand how anyone can concentrate on both, enough to make either, worthwhile 🤪 Under those circumstances though (and because I've owned an Ultra)....I reckon its own headphone output might be good enough 🤔

Yes, I know what you mean. I bought it from Amazon UK. Even on there it was available cheaper, with estimated import duties included. I don't like estimates, so went for the 'proper' option. Delivery took a while, but I'm patient.

It's currently available for the same price that I paid, £269.10 after the 10% discount. I'm not on commission by the way, but even its onscreen menus are logical - and seemingly designed by someone who's actually used them. And my headphones are on offer for £89. When I think that you can get...

I was listening to my recently purchased DX5-ll last night, from the USB output of a Raspberry Pi, into HD-560S headphones (via the balanced output). For context, I'm not one of those (strange) people that think music can have too much detail - and I don't like any added warmth. I find it hard...

(y)something that some (often older) amps have built in - a high pass filter that is either permanent or switchable (and not present in his Cyrus amp).

They needed to compete with the high outputs from the likes of Topping 🙂

Yes, assuming that your distortion is not present on any other source(s) - then you're going to need to become a lot more familiar with your turntable than you currently seem to be 😉

Rear ports too close to the wall have spoiled the sound of speakers in my room. I've tried supplied bungs - but dislike the sound at least as much. Front ports for me - despite the reduced choices.

'Bloatware' and 'partners'. My brother was setting up a basic Windows 11 laptop for me yesterday - which I may use (if I have to) in the future. A USB drive had something called 'Crapfixer' on it - to disable much of what Microsoft do to steer you in their direction. On my phone, just looked...

The list doesn't seem too much different to other clearance / sale lists I've often seen from them - with prices no lower than the products are actually worth. (e.g. quite a nice looking equipment rack - despite having a £400 discount, still overpriced at £650).
