    Why Netflix viewers should pay the BBC licence fee

    You really think it's reasonable for people to pay (currently) £169.50 a year - a figure mysteriously omitted from your article - for a service they don't want or don't use?

    2024 was the year I finally set up my turntable system – but has it been worth it?

    "It was a joy being able to put on a physical record and listen - actually pay attention and listen - to music" My goodness when are these articles extolling the act of listening to vinyl records as if undergoing some kind of religious epiphany going to end? I'm glad you're happy with your new...

    Question Pioneer VSX-934 speaker cable connections

    Thanks for all the help, I took a while to decide on cables (went with QED XT 40i with Airloc plugs) and what really took time was finding a new stand that took a full sized centre speaker as well as amp/blu-ray player. Anyway plastic plugs came out easy peasy and after taking everything to...

    Question Pioneer VSX-934 speaker cable connections

    I have a Pioneer VSX-934 AV amp and the manual says you can only use bare wire speaker connections. The terminals look like standard 4mm connections but it looks like they have had plastic plugs inserted to stop the use of 4mm banana plugs. My question is can I safely remove the plastic plugs...

    Here's why CDs are the better, cheaper alternative to vinyl records

    "Everyone is buying vinyl" ? I'm not. The last vinyl album I bought was in 1988. Have been buying loads of CDs and will continue to do so. Just bought the Mobile Fidelity SACD of Eldorado yesterday.

    I'm in the same boat, thinking about moving all my music file to a NAS as my hard drive is full. One question - How to I attach the NAS to my A/V amp?
