Something google searches will not reveal, is the difference the modes make. In normal it potters about with easily enough grunt to keep with the traffic. In sport it will try to rip your arms off when accelerating. The only other vehicle I have ever driven where a change of mode makes such a...

Shiit LYR+ and The Composer from Austrian Audio. £2900 so not that insane.

After years of adventure style bikes, I got a cruiser. A Morbidelli C1002V. Designed in Italy, put together in China, with parts from Germany, Japan and China. It is part of the Benelli, Keway group that is also part of a group that includes Volvo and Lotus. I have had it coming on a year, it...

The ABX blind testing that finds no one can reliably tell the difference and this test, should end the cable debate; https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/kimber-ks-1036-silver-rca-cable-review.70121/ "The Kimber KS 1036 ($4520 for the pair, 1 meter) has identical...

An audiophile appreciates how good the music is and how well recorded it is. They look for sound quality.

I taught myself how to solder, using YouTube videos and made various cables using Van Damme, Neutrik and some other components. I operated as "Out of this World Audio" and gave a few cables away. It was part of blind testing I was doing, which eventually convinced me that there are far too many...

Bendik's new album Hysj.

Day to day, BBC Radio 6, Radio X or Jazz FM. At my job, where I drive a van, I like Absolute Radio 80s. On a Saturday, BBC Scotland for the football.

Small and perfectly formed.

Thread bump. Got a new laptop, reinstalled Spotify, not happy with the sound and found it had reset to Normal. So, the ears are still able to detect differences in sound quality. On Normal, music sounded flat, lacking dynamic. Then, I saw Spotify now does Lossless. So, switched to that and in...

Public Service Broadcasting at the Kelvingrove bandstand. One of the best sound quality gigs I have been to, indeed, one of the best gigs full stop. Wonderful.

There has been no sign of any burn in. I prefer the high gain, which sounds more dynamic. The only issue with that, is the slightest turn of the volume knob and the music can go very loud.

I like to stream so much, last year I rated in the top 4% and the year before the top 2% of Spotify users, worldwide.

My son got an MG3 Hybrid Plus when they first came out a year ago. It easily averages 50 plus mpg, it can go like stink, Carwow timed a 0-60 in 6.7s and it has been faultless. The main flaw are the safety systems that new cars now get and how intrusive they can be.
