    #nowspinning. What you spinning #nowplaying

    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.

    What to understand before floorstanding speakers purchase?

    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...

    What to understand before floorstanding speakers purchase?

    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...

    Stereo Set Recommendations for the UK?

    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...

    Stereo Set Recommendations for the UK?

    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?

    Bluesound Icon or Eversolo A6

    Yeah - I "upgraded" from a WiiM Mini to a Node ICON a few months ago and found no discernible impact in the change of platform. They both just work either in the app themselves or as "Connect" options from a streaming service.

    What makes a good turn table good.

    At what stage in life do grown adults regress into going back to baiting and bickering at each other over pointless and subjective things? Just making notes so I can try to bypass that.

    Add Tony Joe White to the ever-increasing list of artists I had never heard of until he appeared on a TIDAL Daily Discovery playlist: View: https://youtu.be/j7YdHD7ORp4?si=GqPb8DAPprthrYAn

    Still touring and still excellent. I had a bit of a fling at college with a girl who was only interested in me because she thought I looked like Mark Morriss :LOL:

    Just picked this one up. 32 years old this Autumn 😬🤷🤦‍♂️ I actually prefer this to Ten, which itself is a heck of an album.

    Only a second or third playthough of this 2025 Record Store Day buy. Really nice version of 'Break Me' at the end.
