Clare Newsome:But we give our reviews definitive ratings - we write what we see/hear However, we know that some people disagree. Other opinions are available! Thanks for taking the time to provide some considered replies - that about wraps up this afternoon's discourse for me, too!

Professorhat- Wouldn't it strike you as a little odd if you were to buy Total Film magazine and some of the the reviews read "go and see for yourself?" EDIT - This post refers to Professorhat's earlier example about opinions on films, and is not intended to imply that WHF magazine offer no...

The car was a fairly random metaphor to illustrate that advice based on the principle of "try it for yourself and see" is non-advice and could as easily be provided by a non-informed person as otherwise. The magazine offers specific advice on cables in reviews, but the content of "The Big...

Not at all - it is a serious point which merits a serious reply.

Yes, but often they are apparently describing something completely unrelated to one another's experience, as is the case with the HDMI cable test which I have just re-read. Then we get back to the idea of "try it for yourself in your system" - I can't drive but by the same token could offer...

"The Big Question" participants normally disagree about any differences and tend to use journalistic cliches obtained from the magazine to describe them. Surely if there were simply, for instance, "more bass" at least two panellists would claim there to be "more bass" and a simple spectrum...

I think many people feel short changed after the industry trumpeted such nonsense as HD being the equivalent of "the difference between colour and black and white," as well as dangling the "HD Ready" rotten carrot for years, only to be replaced with the confusing "Full HD" moniker. Clearly the...

That is the first post I have read that gives a possible insight into the discrepancy between reviews of mains products that are conducted using very high end equipment, and the common (negative) domestic experience - thanks for your time and effort.

Do Chord make a high-end QWERTY to PC cable? There seems to be an endemic problem whereby RFI, jitter and, like you know all that stuff, cause slight imperfections to letters and characters...

Forgive my sloth. Having reread the original comment, carefully examining the punctuation in addition to the facial character, I can confirm that it is most likely intended to be a joke. However, I am still bewildered by the subsequent numerical additions. My initial thought was that the numbers...

Pistol Pete1:Who knows......thus the cheeky smiley!!!! You are one of the two strangers...my question adheres to "+!" and "+2.".

007L2Thrill:michael hoy:Pistol Pete1: Not heard the QED, but I love the Chord active........ It made significant improvements to sound and picture, when i changed from the QED HDMI-P cable..... Guess my eyes/ears are more sensitive than chudleighpaul's....... +1 here. +2 here. Is it...

keiser1: Fabric samples are on order and I'll be picking the timber and Rockwool WR3 up next week. May be a silly question ericleroi but I take it you used 50mm x 50mm timber for your panels? I may have to soucre the fabric elsewhere as Ebay only have a few colours on offer and its not from...

keiser1:Nice set up ericleroi and those panels are pleasing on the eye great job. I really only have 2 walls to put the panels on as from left of the seating position there's a window. Would I be right in saying the wall with the canvases on and the side wall to the right of the sofa would be...
