I hope I'm not being nieve but I'd not like to be so sinical to think that this is what's happening but I must agree that I'm slightly suspicious alright...

Slightly surprised and disappointed that a couple of products highly regarded and recommended by What Hi-Fi didn't get a mention; specifically the Wharfedale 220 budget stereo speakers you praised so highly and not a single Sony TV model when they seem to have been reviewed favourably this year...

I'm having a reflective day so dug out Fleetwood Mac...Gold Dust Woman does it for me...

As I recently posted, I bougjt a pair of the award winning Wharfdale 220's two months ago and unfortunately ealier this week the bass unit on the right chanel failed in an obviouse and dramatic fashion, and sounded awful with no real reason to do so. Fortuntely the fine people at HiFi Hut in...

My opinion of the question posed by wmc88 based on my, albeit limited, experience is that I was in a similar position a number of years ago and decided to purchase a Cambridge Audio Azure 640R AV Amp based on reviews and auditions and the fact that it was an equally accomplished musical amp as...

Thanks for your input Native Bon, much appreciated. After careful consideration and alot of research, I have placed an order for a pair of white Wharfdale 220's. Unfortunately here in Ireland we are very limited in hifi outlets and unless you live in Dublin (which I don't) it's difficult to...

I use a Cambridge Audio Azure 640R AV receiver as a hub for my stereo music, TV and Dvd watching and have an assortment of speakers in a 5.1 set-up. These include a pair of ageing MS10i stereo speakers and Mission centre and rears for surround sound. I'm considering upgrading my stereo speakers...

In response to the original question, I recently replaced an aging 42" Pana LCD TV with a new 40" Sony LCD and honestly see a massive improvement in most areas. Like the original post stated I was interested only in a good quality monitor and not fussed with smart features etc etc etc and I'm...

I'm in business thanks again Oldboy. Found the optimiser on my Alien disc as I thought. It's a big improvement over the previous very vivid bright picture, it's much more natural and realistic now. Thanks again...

Thanks Oldboy that's a great help. I'd forgotten about the THX settings on a DVD disc - I think I have one on a DVD somewhere, I think one of my Alien discs? I'll give it a go thanks again

I recently purchased a new Sony 40R45c LCD TV and I was wondering what the colour, contrast, brightness settings should ideally be. I know it will vary from location to location and across the TV brands, but is there a general rule of thumb or simply trial and error? Also what about noise...

as I said it's been ages since I posted anything here, but hello folks I'm back and had to mention the new album by Melody Gardot...Currency of Man... It just gets better each time | listen to it and it's been a while since an album had such an effect on me, it comes highly recommended ( by me...

Sorry Major, I guess I do mean Browser, rather than search engine...told you I wasn't savvy in this stuff !! Anyway, have you any suggestions as to why i seem to be getting this 'not responding' message so regularly and what can I do to eliminate it ? Thanks

Sincere apple-ogies folks...29th October deadline...and Bigboss no! Amazon don't deliver certain items to Ireland and TV's are one of the excluded items (not surprisingly I suppose) although other smaller items, like interconnects, are also excluded ??

I have been using Opera as my search engine for some time after getting fed up with Google Chrome constantly 'not responding' but now Opera is doing the same fairly regularly. I keep my laptop fairly 'clean' using an external hard-drive for storing everything, and clean out my history regularly...
