Presumably you've heard / sell the Platina integrated, have / do you?

🙂 Funny, it's only watching the re-runs that I've come to appreciate how good the Ruby Flipper girls were....at their job! Great bodies, often with exposed bum cheeks and pretty faces on top, yes....but if you can watch the dancing itself - they're really good - complex moves, great...

That and TOTP were required viewing Thursday nights. Nephew worked for BBC a few years back, so we had nice stroll round the television centre. Good to see where it all happened, though by that time most studios were no longer in use. We ended up in a viewing gallery, watching them record Mock...

I was reading this article earlier - probably more suited to the car thread: BBC News - Evan Davis: Why so many people break 20mph speed limits - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8e94pe6w9ro

An electro-mechanical work of art - with adjustments to get the very best out of the tapes.

You said you'd got a 2.5mm balanced cable for one of your 598s. Do you mean the proprietary 2.5mm 4-pole twistlock headphone-end connector...with a 4.4mm Pentacon plug at the amp end? If so, adaptors are available for the amp end to adapt any size of unbalanced to a 4.4mm plug. I use a...

Proper tape editing! But I expected to see the tape running a lot faster during the recording 🤔

Yes, I've often wondered if his blindness has given him a greater musical talent than he may otherwise have had. I believe you got to see the one and only BBC transmission of the Stevie Wonder prom, some time ago now. I think there must've been some rights issue, because that one particular prom...

I think my brother was giving Sky £100+ a month. Whether or not that includes phone and BB, it's way too much. I don't watch enough TV to warrant paying the likes of Sky. (Until March, my phone and BB is £1.99 per month - then it rises to £11.90, which is more than enough for me to be paying).

😆

I spent a year installing and setting up new TVs for a local retail chain. It was a while ago now, but I really liked everything about the Panasonic sets and MUCH preferred them to Samsung, which was the brand that more customers seemed to buy. Sorry to see them blending in to become just...

And probably all the quality most people could ever want - even if they'd have to make do with some appearance mismatch.

Indeed, it's very wasteful - and the reason why that T8 should appeal to many as a streamer (Although less than half the price of the Quad streamer, that's still more expensive than it needs to be 🤨).

You must've seen the amp review on AV Forums - I like the look of it, if only because it's a fairly good visual match for my tuner 🙂 Of those those that could contemplate spending 3.5 grand on an amp, I reckon there'd be quite a few able and willing to spend another 3 grand on a matching...

Has always been the case for me - long before anyone streamed, mobile disco operation meant the next record had to have been thought about, found and cued up within the playing time of the current track - I never really got out of that habit. Streaming for me just means playing my music from...
