    Sonos Arc long-term review: the highs and lows

    I was talked into buying this due to a couple of what hifi reviews. The reviews were so misleading. It doesn't begin to offer anything like the quality or precision of even a basic 5.1 set up...not even remotely close. I had it less than 30 days..returned it and set my Yamaha kef system back...

    Google Chromecast with Google TV

    I say soundwise it shows how linn, naim etc completely steal from customers by charging 30 times as much for similar performance from music streaming sites.

    DVD and Blu-ray sales continue to nosedive

    Sadly discs are also seen as bad for the environment from raw materials used to press them . Energy wastegage . Delivery to retailer etc...downloads have none of these so called drawbacks. I can guarantee however once discs stop the studios will then move on to special edition downloads that...

    Marantz CD6007

    Have to say I like this review I think WH is guilty sometimes of exaggeration in the difference. But I think it's made it clear that yes it's better..but not to the point it demands an upgrade. Good shout

    Tidal and Amazon to get ‘first time on digital’ Kraftwerk releases in Dolby Atmos

    Massive fan. Have the boxset that's surround headphone and blu ray and it works so well. An act that really gets quality matters. No doubt this will be brilliant.

    Sonos Arc

    Products are delivered to store warehousing in advance of release date. It's very common for customers to receive products before release date. How do u think so many sites have already reviewed the product. If a retailer cannot fulfill all orders placed to be received on release day it may...

    Sonos Arc

    What. I purchased this for a second room. Its £800 and I'm afraid is absolutely useless at Atmos. I have a separates based Atmos system in my main room. This is almost just a fake stab reliant on height of ceiling etc..I think the review needs to be clear it's no match for a proper Atmos set up...

    QED Reference XT40i

    As I said I do think analogue cables can sound different. However sometimes different is not better. Monster cables for instance have gone virtually bust because it was made clear that they sold overpriced cables that made no difference ....hifi magazines claimed they did and regularly reviewed...

    QED Reference XT40i

    Actually. This and other magazines used to review and tell us expensive HDMI cables made a massive difference. They don't now. Why? Because it was exposed as total lies and Currys even agreed to refund customers misold them. So ....while I do think analogue cables can make a difference I do...
