    Multiroom on the cheap

    With respect to the OP (and I understand the desire to have a more permanent solution) TrevC you are a genius. I've been mulling over budget multi room options for a while until I get a more polished / expensive option sorted, and had completely forgotten about my old car FM transmitter. Will...

    Bluetooth Receiver

    I've also had a bad experience with AirPlay so have opted for Bluetooth with my iPad. Sevenoaks have the QED Uplay plus Bluetooth adapter for £30 at present. It's got Aptx which the iPad doesn't use, but may come in handy at a later stage.

    PlayStation 4 £150 plus Star Wars Lego and Star Wars Blu Ray at Smyths

    I think they are clearing older style models with the arrival of the slim and neo. Smyths has them starting at £150 including FIFA until 2 October! I would get one, but as it only has hdmi output it's not suitable for my (ahem) CRT tv.

    Have you ever painted speakers?

    Just a thought, someone gave my mate a pair of Tannoy 6 floorstanders and he covered them with Fablon to match the decor - they still look brilliant ten years later. Jealous!

    DAB & FM Aerials together

    It's the splitter which is causing the drop off. This page contains a LOT of information. Fortunately for me I didn't have to go into all this detail for my set up (excellent reception!) but it seems to me you need to look at your amplification...

    Orbitsound sale - if any good

    Many thanks for this heads up Gel. I picked up a sound base for my Mum (who always complains she can't hear her tv clearly) and for the price it's been well worth it.

    Advice on music playing software - is it worth it?

    Apologies to the OP but I've always wondered why you / anyone wouldn't use Windows Media Player, given it now supports FLAC and is not going away any time soon? What am I missing?

    Any advice please

    Definitely audition potential new kit against your existing stuff. I've got 760i's and I still prefer them to, say, the Q Acoustics 2020s which are very highly rated.

    Denon dm39 cd/receiver

    I own a DM39 but I would have some sympathy with what Thompsonuxb has said. There is a limit to what you can get out of a relatively modest unit like this. I have tried mine with a few different pairs of standmounted speakers. I currently listen to it through a pair of Q Acoustics 2010s but...

    Denon DM39 with which speakers?

    Hi. I've got a DM39 and a pair of Q Acoustic 2010 speakers, which I would recommend. However, I haven't heard your Tannoys so I couldn't say whether the 2010s have more bass - they certainly sound better (to me!) than the standard Denon ones. The suggestion to get a sub is an interesting one...

    Stupid Question - Will The Wii U Play Wii Games?

    That's right - you need a wii remote to play wii games. You will also need a sensor bar. Not alll Wii U packages come with one. You can get a remote for £30-£35 new, sensor bars £5-£10. It can be a better bet to buy a second hand wii just for the accessories! if you do buy a remote make sure...

    Grado sr60

    Hi. Agree with the other comments here, seems strange. I've got SR60s and they work fine with a generic adapter, so should be fine for you too.
