Re: I have joined the mainstream

This hobby is not important to me anymore so I guess it doesn't matter as long as you enjoy the music. I never really saw Hi-Fi as a hobby, I just wanted to listen to music. Ultimately my main system was chosen because it had a remote control. Is the frequency response of that remote control accura...

Re: Stu

I bought NVA not to be different (although I was pleased with that as a side effect) but because I could actually chat with the guy who was building it and cut through the bollocks. I know little of tech-speak but I've got a pretty decent bullshit-meter, and Richard wasn't registering on it. Yes, t...

Re: Holidays....yay

I haven't had a holiday "away" for well over 10 years. Jeanette wasn't well enough for quite some time, and after she died there seemed little point (or enthusiasm) to bugger off somewhere strange on my own. I can get solitude at home, so why pay somebody else' for it? Yes, I am antisocia...

Re: Stu

What's the term used for somebody who wants to be different and goes out of their way to be so ? Freak or unique ?

One of the reasons I came to hfs and bought nva gear was because I wanted to be different from the rival flocks of sheep that I was encountering on my travels through Internet hifi land.

Re: I have joined the mainstream

Did somebody say simple ? That word sums me up perfectly. Minimalism is what I crave these days. Having nearly had my brain spontaneously combust it's the only way I can function these days. I looked at Sonos a while back and can't remember why i discounted them :think: It's funny the purchasing pre...

Re: Holidays....yay

Pleased you enjoyed your hols away from everywhere, not exactly my cup of tea but we're all different. We have 20mph zones near schools which is fine, but surely out of school hours and weekends that should then revert back to 30mph. Hello Dave, On a holiday I crave remoteness and seclusion rather ...

Re: Holidays....yay

Nice pictures. Wales is a great place for a holiday if the weather is good. We wait for a good forecast and go at short notice. Went to St Davids during last September's heat wave. Consider yourself lucky you don't have to live with the 20mph speed limit. Like many I will no longer vote Labour in W...

Re: Holidays....yay

Looks idyllic Stu. I could fancy spending a week there - even in the rain! 8-) Yes, it was beautiful in the Berwyn mountain range. It didn't rain constantly but every day was wet at some point. We all felt very relaxed until hitting the motorway around Chester on the way home. How anybody drives fo...
