Re: DVd player for CDs
Mechanically there is no practical difference between a CD transport and a DVD transport the difference is in the density of data on the disc and the laser for reading it.

Re: Brexit Deal - one of the easiest in human history?
Some time back I told some one on Facebook that, despite voting remain her duty was to work for the good of the country. She didn't like it. If you are registered to vote you have agreed to abide by the results of an election or referendum, even if you don't participate. Now tell me that you don't a...

Re: My year in Hifi - 2020

Bought a couple of very cheap condenser mics to play with before buying more expensive versions. One was a shotgun mic that the manufacturer intended for use with video came...

Re: The Hi-Fi Industry and Hobby
Interestingly, talking to my nephew and his girlfriend, large speakers are fine, and the tt interested them, but the rest they thought was ott. Katie (said gf) quite liked my speaker monstrosities, but was rather disparaging about the number of boxes. The wife's face at that was a picture..... My w...
