These are consumer grade products so you'll always get some that fail not long out of warranty. I've got stuff made or assembled in China that's been going for years and most components are made in China so something may be assembled in the UK, Germany, the USA but a fair whack of the parts...

Hegel H160.

How about a Hegel amp? https://www.hegel.com/distributors/europe/148-romania AVstore.ro (Qube Net SRL) Atanasie Demosthen nr 22, Sector 5 Bucuresti 050503 Phone: 021-232-40-77 https://www.avstore.ro/amplificatoare/hegel/ I have the H160 (the latest version is the H190) and it's really...

The picture above is the main reason I decided to buy a NAS, rip all my CD's (took ages) and store them on the NAS. Now I just stream everything and the CD's sit in a cupboard gathering dust.

PJ Harvey - The Peel Sessions 1991–2004 and tomorrow Meat Puppets - Too High To Die

I used to have the LS50's and now have the new model ATC SCM40's. Talk of analytical sound is bollocks, they play music and they play it beautifully. From acoustic guitars, electronic music to rock etc. I'd call it more of an accurate sound than an analytical sound as the latter conjures...

2% above 50%. 50% is statistically random in guessing yes or no. It might be safe to assume a window of a few percent either side of 50% for randomness before making a claim that 52% proves something.

But then that's not so much the media's fault but the decision to compress the music more.

I use Onkyo HF and Poweramp but one to look out for is Foobar2000 Mobile. It's very new so it's still evolving but I expect them to do a good job on it. http://mobile.foobar2000.com/

Some of it is especially the stuff either made or assembled in China. On the other hand you get the stuff that is priced very highly in order to appeal to the rich who may think they're buying better quality because of the boutique pricing.

How much profit does B&W currently make? I think the new owner will be looking at easy ways to increase profits and the easiest way is to get rid of the single biggest expense, the work force in the UK and move it either to the US or China. Don't B&W already have a facility or access to one in...

Read a good explanation of that very phenomenon. As a young person, the last part of the brain to develop is the frontal cortex, the part of the brain where a lot of social functioning takes place like consciousness, judgement etc. So this part of the brain is thought to act as a barrier to...
