I've always liked the polar opposite of fake poser cars and that's "sleepers". Totally bog standard cars with the engines fettled. I've always liked the flat cap Volvo's particularly 2.5 T-5 for that reason. Many a baseball cap thicko getting it wrong and having to drop back in embarrassment...

Absolutely 💯😁 I do of course see the point in decent speakers being much more able to produce a better sound at lower levels. Some amps are particularly good at it some bad in my experience. I've always found higher quality speakers become viscerally alive with the music once given a bit of...

I do like me magnets on the speakers I have 😂 The QA's aren't that strong but the fyne audio grills nearly pull your hand off with a satisfying snap when ones about 2 inches away.

I've thought about this a second as I'm in a rush and just like to quickly browse whilst listening to music getting up and I think it pertains to the "people who never knew him personally but saw it take place" Maybe I've missed something the music is predictably loud and I'm not one for...

I've many formats in this bungalow, many different types of players and software both new and old and CDS's via a Marantz CD 60 is best sounding to my ears. I regularly play streams via qoboz and tidal and never get a performance as crystal as a CD. It causes me to use streaming to mainly...

I agree to what's eluded to. Providing you are happy with what you are listening to then stick with it. I've got systems of old and new and some of the best stuff factually to my ears is vintage despite new designs etc. Some of the best speakers I've heard were early 90s and late 80s stuff.

All I know is that suffering theft of a high value item already id rather sign for it as it being discarded beside the bin isn't safe where I live on a communal path connecting two bungalows. Unfortunately not all sender's provide a sign for delivery option when posting things which I assumed...

Until they like the local one outside Lidl which is fully on CCTV is Brocken into. It in itself would add more problems to an already failing system of idiocy. In some of the neighborhoods round here if would be like painting a bullseye on ones house. Nothing was wrong with signing for ones...

Absolutely I've had that problem many times even having items damaged in the rain. The new trick is they try to override the signing for a parcel process with emails stating "you can now get signed for parcels without the need for a signature for convenience" by clicking here (a box embedded in...

😁😁😁😁😁😁 I will try......... That is "not" to blow them up lmao

Please see the original post thread starter. Qoute "My preference is after many yrs of experience are they must have/be • Around 450-1200 • 6 inch (drivers) or above" Although I fully understand what they are and do, I am put off by them "personally" I did not go past "ruling them out for my...

All that aside the physical ownership will always be a factor especially within the collection side of things. We all like to own our things. I find streaming a good way of finding what I like then purchasing the CD for relative peanuts. We've all been through the long quality debate and to...

Well I'm sat looking the fyne audio boxes in my living room deciding today is set-up day. It's strange I know how good they are yet I sit pondering as I know my OCD will override a quick set-up turning it into hrs of repositioning and paranoia 🤬 I'm hoping the almost identical room dimensions...

Yes I agree on what you say. " I would really like these reviewers to be completely unaware of what they're listening to when making notes/ comments / judgements on sound performance" It would be very interesting to see that happen, I think reviews of things would change overnight. Blind...

I found this whilst browsing through the comments on the "similar threads" section. Thread 'Speaker cable - Tests and results from last nights fiddling...!' https://forums.whathifi.com/threads/speaker-cable-tests-and-results-from-last-nights-fiddling.79588/ I suppose if someone gets more...
