Be warned! You'll end up with many more suggestions than you may want! How important is the streamer in general? It seems like you're focused on the Room Correction rather than the streaming itself? I'm not sure how relevant that would be until you've found a house, so I wouldn't necessarily...

It's a bit disconcerting when your latest "new" album is almost twenty years old, but here we are 😂

Since settling on the system, my focus in the past few months has been growing my vinyl collection, which started at zero and has hit around 70 albums now. I'm really enjoying the process of looking for records and then taking the time to listen through them. I've also got my kids interested...

One of my local record shops had a bit of a Coldplay deal on last week, so I've picked up a couple of albums on transparent vinyl that induce a hypnotic state when you watch them spin 😵‍💫😂

Mine's just shy of 35% off RRP primarily because the amp has a ridiculous RRP that's far removed from its readily available "discounted" price.

The Scottish record haul is proving to be a little disheartening. Lots of misses (for my taste): Emerson, Lake & Palmer A bizarre quantity of Moody Blues and offshoots from that band Rick Wakeman Rare Bird Elton John But, there's some ELO that I might keep hold of, and today's lunchtime spin...

Hmm. Yes, that Genesis album will not make my rotation. In contrast, I will be keeping this, even if not listening to it very regularly. It's a "quadrophonic" version of Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique. My stepdad's varied career saw him involved in the production of some of these quadrophonic...

I've returned from a week in Scotland with about 15 of my stepdad s records. I'm really not sure how many will make my main collection and how many will be stashed away, gathering dust. First album I'm testing out is this one by Genesis.

Did not hesitate to rush out and grab this when a local record shop announced a restock. I'm not organised enough to have a formal wishlist of records, but if I did then this would certainly have been on it. Absolutely fantastic from start to finish.

It might be worth doing some experimenting with your neighbours. I don't live in apartments but in a semi-detached house. When I got our Hi-Fi I spoke with them and asked them to listen as hard as they could as I adjusted the volume of our system, just so I could understand the threshold between...

I haven't paid enough attention to recent posts, but has the opening poster tried some sort of makeshift port bungs yet? That's likely the source of the boomy bass and it was the issue I had with my speakers. EDIT: I read back and saw that some sort of bungs have been tried - in what form? It...

Good question and it reveals how pointless and subjective ranking albums is because I end up copping out on my answer :LOL: All I can say for sure is that my top four PJ albums are Vs. Ten, Yield and Vitalogy (I can't really count Unplugged as an album, but it IS wonderful). It might even be...

Well......new to Hi-Fi but happy to drop £10k is quite a first toe to dip in the water, especially when not seeming to know what kit is required. Obviously everyone is in different financial positions but one has to question the budget setting process. One thing is for sure: rocking up to a...

If the request is genuine, then you'll need to think about things beyond which brands to choose from. As a starter: what will your source be? Do you already have music on physical media (CDs, vinyl), will you stream, will you listen to multiple formats?
