The music is fine, it is just not your normal run of the mill, they play some pretty obscure stuff. The pop / rock channel is duff I don't use that, just the Jazz and classical channels. For pop and rock I use Paradise Radio. I play next to nothing but radio now, as I can work and not bother with i...

+1 Richer Sounds and Superfi and John Lewis great place to try headphones, all the Japanese companies that have kept Hifi honest.

With reference to the opening post and the development of MP3 and digital audio, this is a very good read. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00TQDWHFI/ref=oh_aui_d_detailpage_o02_?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I can remember the day I was introduced to the early primitive device in a pub, it amazed me. Just...

There have been too many times in the last 12 years on hi-fi websites when someone has come out with something that's been untrue / misleading / bullshit / only-half-the-story. Sometimes I have then decided to challenge them by stating my own experience. To which their response has been to restate ...

Right, I am off for good this time. The Bakeoff happened, as I said it would, and I'm glad I got to be part of the event. It was great to hear your gear Richard and as I said, the phono 2 was exemplary. I will recommend it and hope to hear one again soon. Hopefully I can get the Phono1 in a better ...

In a way you could say that a semi omni remixes it, but that will be jumped on by the naysayers as making it artificial, ...
