It really is the best advice - and something you will appreciate all the more when you hear the differences between speakers. Better still (if maybe not so easy) would be to arrange a home loan of amplifier and speakers to try in your own room - because, as you may be aware, positioning and...

Consider yourself lucky 👍

Yes, looking at it again, nothing to do with phase - but not sure what he's doing....or how it cures hum.

It's been pointed out before, but the titles, designed to lure people in, are diabolical and an absolute insult to the intelligence. If anyone that can make a difference is reading this, do us all (including WHF) a favour and get rid of them. (I've never have / never will click on one - and...

Do you? Perhaps you, or he, can explain how it works to the rest of us. At first, I thought he was connecting one speaker out of phase with the other - but of course, he isn't.

A fair question. Probably because the audio is on a main board anyway - and the speakers are so insubstantial and cheap - less trouble to not offer the option.

Yes, I think it might be the case that the 'proper' Bose equaliser looks a lot more clever and uniquely necessary than the job it actually does. (Though it's true that later Bose stuff, like their 'Panaray' processor, does do some very specific and unique trickery).

They would say they're doing it to help you - by keeping you informed 😏 I'm another of the ones 'no longer supported' after this year. My 2015 Lenovo laptop currently does all that it needs to. By today's standards, I'm led to believe it's done well....think it originally cost about £270.

No it doesn't. Though, depending on your amplifier, it could be something similar (i.e. an analogue equaliser). But you'd be better off using the type of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) included as a feature in many streamers. Whereas EQ is desirable for some people, it's essential for you...

Front ports mean I'm more interested than I should be (as I don't need new speakers) :) ...a better price than most 're-imagined' things too.

I suppose it was 'better' for any Planet Rock fans....if their station wasn't available on FM. But, at one time, their music went out in 92kbps MONO on DAB, so hardly better than FM for sound quality. My own experience of DAB was the portable radio some kind ex-work colleagues bought me as a...

How can a turntable with BUILT-IN speakers ever be a serious proposition?

Fear not Jason - such attitudes are due to go out of fashion starting.....you know when 😉

Happy Christmas to you too :(
