Thanks for all your replies but I have to say that was the last response I expected. That PS3 must have been 8 years old and yet it is still the best option!!! Sony really did a good job then. MInd you the wi-fi was not useable it lost sync after about 10 mins - don't know if that is a general...

I've recently lost a PS3 from my set-up and now need to replace the functionality (that I used) in the best way. The key functions I need are: Catch-up TV services (all of them) {maybe youview} Netflix Ability to connext into wi-fi newtwork and stream media from any media server it finds (not...

I bought some cheap cx400's before Xmas from a seller on Amazon and within a couple of weeks one earpiece stopped working. When I tried to return them to the seller they had closed their shop and did not re-open as their "closed shop message" stated. I put in an Amazon insurance claim, which...

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I'll go with the notion that normal domestic cable lengths are unlikely to make an appreciable difference. FYI from my amps manual it says that the initial reflected sound hits the ears between 50-100ms after the direct source sound - and I'm not sure that I...

I confess I have not scoured these forums to see if this question has already been addressed, so apologies if it has. Should speaker cable lengths be kept equal between left and right channels? My left front is much closed to the amp then the right so I could have un-equal cable lengths but...

This debate seems to have run it's course for the time being but I think there has been expressed sufficient support for additional information (to aid selection) for the WHF team to consider it at their leisure. The nub of the issue seems to be that there are "too many" products capable of...

Interesting to note that: 1. I am not the first to raise this question 2. minds at WHF seem closed to further debate 3. balance of replies favour keeping the star system 4. stars are no substitute for listening. I did not ask for the start ratings to me removed nor changed but supplemented. I...

What Hi-Fi has been using 5 stars to rank “comparable” equipment for as long as I can remember but have you ever considered any other ways to sort the good from the mediocre? The current system has the advantage of being simple but it also has some serious drawbacks. It does not allow a direct...

Clare, you managed to get more sense out of Yamaha than the one terse sentence they afforded me. I still feel they are trying to hide behind the skirts of the dealers. The dealers have no control over the stock situation and I don't think Yamaha were keeping them properly informed. Furthermore...

It seems Yamaha were completely unprepared for the demand for many of its products following their rave reviews by What HiFi. I started the year trying to audition a 763 and an 863 but most (local) dealers had sold right out - even their demo stock. Delivery dates for new stock were vague and...

Kind of waht I was expecting Andrew. I hope to get the full flavour at the show tomorrow. Thanks.

Yes A1000 although the latter would be more welcome! The price of 863 would not be out of the question but i've also got my eye on FreeSat.

I have a much loved Yamaha A1000 which has been the centre of my Prologic system for more years than I care to remember. When my old CRT TV died I upgraded to a plasma and bought my son a PS3. I still have my SVHS Panasonic and a new EX78 DVD/HD recorder. I can no longer use the yammy as a video...
