    Why is c.d apparently dead ?

    There are some sweeping statements here. Wow. Anort3 - "... most music sucks these days." There are artists out there that are not for everyone and this hasn't changed nor will it. Some of my favourite tracks to listen to on my system reminding me of why I spent so much money are well produced...

    Question LG OLD55B8SLC and Sonos Beam - will they fit?

    There are various width and depth measurements posted by people on Amazon - very unhelpful! I'm guessing that 795mm wide and 319mm deep is sensible for the size of TV so going to work with that. I'm surprised no one on this forum with this TV has posted here..

    Question LG OLD55B8SLC and Sonos Beam - will they fit?

    Thanks for the suggestion and replies Bigboss - the platform to raise the TV might be an option. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear in explaining. I'm trying to figure out the width of the crescent to see if it is wider than the width of the Beam so I could almost slot the Beam into the space...

    What One Item to Improve?

    This is not meant to be facetious and I'm not planning to delve into your medical history(!) but the best upgrade experienced to my system personally was due to having my ears syringed :) I'm a fit, well 30-something with no past issues with hearing and didn't think I really needed any...

    Question LG OLD55B8SLC and Sonos Beam - will they fit?

    Hi all, (First post back on the new forums (y)) Is anyone here using a Sonos Beam with an LG OLED 55B8SLC (the crescent stand variant)? I'm potentially going to put these two together, but I can't find anywhere the information to confirm if the Beam fits between the crescent of the TV table...

    Streaming services (Netflix, Amazon, NowTV, Apple TV) & HD audio

    Thanks for the comments, guys. I was on the edge of starting to eBay all my Blu-rays but the time and effort that requires I think would outweigh the money I'd get, so I'm glad you voiced your regrets gel from going down that route. I did consider ripping the collection as suggested too, but...

    Streaming services (Netflix, Amazon, NowTV, Apple TV) & HD audio

    Hi all, Forgive me if this subject has been covered recently, but without a search option directly in the WHF forum I couldn't see one a good few pages in, so here goes.. House move forces a downsize of 'stuff' that I've amassed over the years, and one of the casualities are the Blu-rays. I...

    What are your album(s) of the day regardless of format??

    (actually yesterday) Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon - KT Tunstall Nice laid back album for a lazy Sunday - has a very musical, analogue production. Easy to listen all the way through without skipping!

    pioneer 436xde system cable

    I've seen a Wireworld version before in my local dealers - very reasonably priced to clear if I remember!

    In which pricerange do I get most bang for the buck? (New setup)

    No easy answer to this one, apart from I'd stress a demo at a good independant HiFi retailer to initially narrow down the speakers/equipment you like, and then maybe a home demo for a short period (few days) to make sure it all works in your room. There are too many variables to say what will...

    RS6s gone...

    PP - i'm sorry for your loss ;) I've championed PMC many a time over the past 8 years or so - I wish more people gave them an audition. Enjoy your new babies!

    Speakers standers for Dynaudio 2/6

    I'd recommend the Apollo Olympus speaker stands with those speakers. They used to sell for about £120 but seem to have been discontinued recently and are going for some ridiculous prices. I had a pair of 2/6s on these (fill the column about 3/4 full of dense filler or use kids playsand!) and...

    Now TV - Entertainment package

    How have you found the on demand/catch up side of things Yamyam? I still haven't heard how fast the episodes are available once the live show has aired (as the yanks say!)

    Will Sonos ever offer audiophile grade streamers?

    I think the term 'HiFi' has been warped over the past few years. To me it used to mean reproducing music at such a level that it sounded like the original artist/instruments were in the room playing for you. But thesedays any old speaker dock/bluetooth system will claim to produce 'HiFi sound'...
