    Best flooring for home cinema?

    I am a flooring contractor and I would say Ceramic tiles or Laminate are a definite no. Have you looked at Amtico or Karndean? Not so reflective (Glassy) The thing about these two are you can have borders/ personal designs, any combination you want. Carpet is by far the best option soundwise...

    J.J Cale

    Absolutely no problem, you are in for a treat. One more album I might recccomend is 'Shady Gove' by Gove Scrivenor. I don't use vinyl anymore but managed to find it re- issued on cd, but again I can't paste the link here so if you google it, the first link should be to the ALL MUSIC page where...

    J.J Cale

    Any of the really early albums, Troubadour is the one that brought him to my attention. I then went backwards, bought all those, then forwards, up to Travellog. I have them all, but if you want some that are stone dead certs, I would buy Naturally, Troubadour, Shades, Travelog, Really and...

    New to the site and I really need some help

    Hi, just a couple of thoughts, they are fair size speakers, 10 inch woofers, don't think you'll have any problem getting lots of bass, but it might be too much, in your room, even for your taste. Plus with the Storm you have a greater degree of control/adjustment available, other than just...

    whats the best complete system youve ever had at any price

    Marantz cd63 ki sig, Arcam Alpha 9/9p, Mission 752F. It just seemed to make everything enjoyable, regardless of genre, or quality of production etc. If I knew then what I know now, I would still have it. But we always think we can improve on what we have, when actually it usually unbalances...

    Sony 4K Q&A

    Seeing as I will be buying a 4k T.V this year at some point, can you ask how or what Sony are doing to address latency for console gamers. I presume there are issues concerning upscaling 1080p games which must introduce some lag or latency. Also I have a PC which with the addition of a couple of...

    Your favourite Punk albums

    You could've fooled me? I apologise if you thought I was dissing your choices Alec, I was being sarcastic with the 'each to their own thing' It's fairly obvious I'm opinionated and intolerant ;) I see the punk era as mid to late seventies, early eighties. So you have Sex...

    Problems with Sony KDL50W829

    There was also a problem with the contrast filter, causing some games to look washed out and overly bright, and the sharpening bodge they used to make up for the fact that most of the games aren't 1080p. These issues have both been addressed and I presume if you connect the xbox to the internet...

    Problems with Sony KDL50W829

    The xbone has had a major problem with 50/60hz passthrough with Sky etc. It could only do it at 60hz, where pal is 50/hz. This causes stuttering and other issues, but it can be fixed by taking and installing the latest update which allows you to allocate 50hz for T.V pass through and 60hz for...

    Xbox One £350

    PS4. Better console all round, but there isn't much between them in all honesty. And Microsoft are working to put things right with xbone. My p c will destroy them both put together but as a social experience, i.e gaming with friends, consoles are the way to go.

    Xbox One £350

    I 'm not really bitter mate, I got caught up in the pre order hype, and I love my gaming so I bought both next gen consoles on day one. In the words of Led Zeppelin: 'Nobody's fault but mine' :grin:
