Tomorrow, I am due to see one of my favourite singers, in one of those 'Evening with' life story and Q&A events. I bought the ticket months ago and always wanted to see him. I am due to go by myself. Unfortunately, today, I have gone down with the occasonal sneeze, runny nose and runny eyes...

Planet Rock, LBC, Greatest Hits Radio, plus I love searching for random stations on my internet radio.

I have the upgraded BOSE system/speakers in my Mazda 3 Takumi. The upgrade which comes with that model of trim as standard. The sound is good, but not mindblowingly so.

Have you or would you ever do this? Does it make sense, instead of upgrading the turntable? My dealer once recommended an Accuphase amplifier to go with my Well Tempered Lab Simplex 2 turntable. I heard one attached to my deck in his store and was astonished how great it sounded. Accuphase...

I have a £2,000 turntable, excluding the cost of the cartridge. I have been considering upgrading to the next model up in the range, £4,000, but my dealer has suggested I may get better sound or prefer to spend the money on an amplifier. Does your set-up have a component which costs more or is...

Do you consider it necessary or not, for a £4k-ish turntable to have capability for changing the whole tonearm. I am considering a Well Tempered Lab turntable, which has a tonearm you cannot replace. I love the sound though!

I currently have the Well Tempered Lab, Simplex ll turntable, £1,995 on a turntable wall bracket/shelf. I am considering buying the next model up, north of £4,000, which will be larger and require a larger wall shelf. For those of you with more than one turntable, do you occasionally rotate...

In addition to my proper set-up in my living room, I have a smaller Denon CD/DAB hifi on top of my clothes drawers in my bedroom. Do others here have 2nd hi-fis?

A neighbour streams music and says if he had his way, he'd have a hi-fi set up, but does not fancy the chances of his wife letting him.

My brorther has just told me he bought it and that I missed my chance on it. £729. I asked if he is aware that some of the original models have had issues with sagging plinths, which they have, and he said he does not know as it was on the internet and he has to drive to collect it. I was on...

Thank you. I currently have a Dynavector moving coil DV-10X5 on my Well Tempered Simplex 2, but am currently thinking of upgrading to the Amadeus or Vesalex from Well Tempered. I have the funds and time for it. Brother has told me it will need a sevice, a new tonearm upgrade and a professional...

I am in a bit of a panic. I do suffer anxiety. I own a Well-Tempered Simplex 2 turntable. My brother owns a Mitchell Engineering Gyrodec and knows of an original Roksan Xerces, used turntable for sale, which he says will blow both our decks out of the water. He says he would buy it, but his...

We knew it was coming. His cheapie suitcase record player has broken already. He has, bought the cheapest Gemini player from HMV. I have suggested he buys decent separates and will never look back. He always finds an excuse not to.

I have shown him the Rega Planar 1 and the £299 Sevenoakes deal with the Denon Deck and he says rediculously pricey, high end kit like that is pointless. I have tried and warned him anyway that he risks damaging his vinyl. Well, I tried.

He asked how I know cheap players damage records, so I sent him loads of website links explaining it. He said his player got good reviews. I then explained that a £100,000 deck will be great, but will get poorly rated if much better decks are around for the same price.
