Why would you want to buy a 15 year old CD player??? The CD63 was an excellent player in its day but by now a majority of them will need new laser optics and spindle motors as a result of use. If you happen to know an engineer who has put in a new mech and totally refurbished one as new then...

This type of query has always flummoxed me. How the hell can another persons ear tell you what you would or would not prefer? THERE IS NO CORRECT WAY FOR THINGS TO SOUND LIKE : IF SO EVERY HIFI OR av SYSTEM WOULD SOUND THE SAME! The only way is to actually listen to the stuff yourself from a...

I know im not exactly answering the question here, but 1080p is not the issue. People seem to think its all about the resolution, number of lines etc etc. I would rather have a sim2 or infocus 720p than a cheap 1080p with poor contrast,precessing , scaling etc. I remember the pioneer 42" plasma...

Nice system!

Unanswerable question im afraid. There is no such thing as having 2 similar priced interconnects where one is "better" than the other. It depends on what hifi system you have and of course the old chestnut of personal preference. Try and buy both from your local hifi dealer and try them for...

Yes, mains filtering can have a drastic effect on sound, however results are unpredictable. Cant you find a dealer who will either loan you one or sell it to you on sale or return so that you can judge for yourself??

I think that What Hifi cant do a test regarding fruit as it may have copyright issues. i think Apple and Blackberry maight sue the pants off them. Could be worse - at least im not on Orange!
