    Pure classic series 2 and dab+?

    Hi folks, I'm based in Dublin and picked up a pure classic series 2 for the kitchen. On auto tune it picks up the available dab stations along with their dab+ versions. When I change to the dab+ version of the channel I get a upgrade firmware message which I've done but I still get the message...

    HD Channel Quality

    I've only recently noticed a difference in HD quality moving from a 42" plasma to a 50".. i thought all HD looked great on the 42" but on 50" you can see sometimes its not that great! It finally has made me appreciate the difference between sky hd and blu-ray.. . A lot of the time I was watching...

    The Beatles remastered on vinyl. Yes or no?

    hi guys, i have the opportunity to pick up this boxset at pretty much half retail price off a friend who is selling his set locally. Is it worth it? How far off is the mono box set? At the price i think its a fair punt Cheers, Mick

    Thinking of plonking my ProJect Debut Carbon on this?

    i wouldnt rule out the 'Lack' table from ikea in the first post.. i first came across it in this review http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-10349195-47.html and have my Project RPM 5.1 on it.. think its a pretty ideal size for a turntable...

    turntable upgrade.....new or 2nd hand

    i went the secondhand route and bought a Project RPM 5.1 for not much more than your budget. It was in mint condition. Really love it. I had a Rega RP1 before that I had to sell to raise some cash and the Project is defintely a superior table. It would want to be for the price i guess new.

    Monitor Audio R One HD versus R225HDS

    well for movies up to 60% of the audio comes from the centre speaker so with the r one hd im not loosing anything from my old r225hd centre as the speaker in the r one hd is essentially a r225 with two r90hds tagged on each end.. to be honest i dont miss the other speakers at all, when i...
