Re: Cats & Hi-Fi

In the late 90s, our cat, Custard stepped onto my revolving LP12. He got the surprise of his life, spinning a couple of times before scrabbling his way off the thing, taking out my cartridge and causing an almighty screech as stylus scraped record. He also pissed into my Pretek Powertek combo. I was...

Re: Introduce Yourselves

I got pissed off when the nameless one was trying to hard-sell the virtues of neat wiring looms in amps; trying to...

Re: Strictly

Both of these two have hit their limits and are being left behind by the rest of them,
so I reckon it's one or the other of them out of the competition tonight.

Re: What infuences your hifi purchase ?

I aint bought nuthin for years. I just build what I need. I used to fork out money like there was no tomorrow, after I got into into that damnable Linn Naim, flat earth scene. I no longer have a domestic PA system since I took to building stuff myself. How anybody can still promote the domestic PA a...

Re: Cable burn in Fact or Fiction ?

I'm afraid I have to agree with the Doc here chaps. I have heard the new set of speaker cables, I put in my system last Friday, change, but i have stayed out of this argument as personally, I have no time for the view that everything has to be proven with maths. We are all unique individuals, theref...
