Not being funny, what hoover do you own ? Really looks like it was hit. Someone hoovering probably wouldn't realise they had struck the speaker.

If you are hungry would you be happier with chalk or cheese as the filling?

I access my catalogue by reaching over to my dedicated shelves and don't look at pixel generated pictures while listening. It's about time that the term computerphile was used to describe the listeners who insist on relying ever more time consuming, distracting formats to apparently save time...

I think 8f you upgrade to some overall better components then as has been hinted at , you will not need the comedy element that a graphic equaliser brings to the show. They are unnecessary.

The Kefs fail because of the ridiculously poor apps. I don't have WiFi problems and who seriously is concerned about bluetooth? I would buy the wireless metas if faced with the choice of what ls50's to buy. KEF basically left me with abandonware apps and I never use them. Cd and record...

You are obviously not on the "alpha" mailing list Plus one. Them wooden things are strictly for the riff raff.

No need bomber, Russ Andrews hand minted acoustically composite alloy steadfast "spike coins" guarantees a rock solid performance and promises solid improved bass performance whatever your flooring. Machined to a trillion of a millimetre accuracy to the spikes of your choice ( he recommends his...

I think many marantz products for many, many years are utterly appaling and look and feel cheap. This new design hasn't ticked all my boxes but looks much , much better. In the flesh like 99% of today's modern turntables say they may also be a crushing disappointment. Edit: The white version is...

The best music for audiophiles are their favourite bands/composers playing through their chosen system. A lot of remastered versions there. Hardly a guarantee of quality.

Time and hifi move on. The majority of the younger generation rely on phones as their access to media. The hifi firms are aware of this. Naturally there is still a place for physical media.We both know what sounds better ( c.d, lol). I know that streaming and apps and lending libraries online...

Or, you could look at using the Roon management system.

Hi Richard , I am afraid (as has become plainly obvious) we all have our 'ways' and ideas. You cannot stream Spotify through the DAC magic from your phone I take it ? I personally don't rip and store because I use streaming as a tool to hear before I buy the physical media. My kefls50w speakers...

This is what I was saying at the beginning of the thread, if you can complicate and ignore the simplest solution audiophiles will do it , buy the £ 50 quid streamer.

Mate , people buy stuff because someone tells them they are good or on a review and because the more you spend the better they must be. So I guess you shouldn't be surprised.
