What laptop should I get?
Created a parallel thread on another forum. https://www.avforums.com/threads/what-replacement-laptop-should-i-get.2493332/ I'm not holding my breath that I'll get useful suggestions from over there. But you never know. Someone might even come up with the correct answer as to what sized laptop I shou...

Re: I have joined the mainstream
I wish you hadn't started this thread. This evening I've started getting those awful Sonos adverts on Youtube. :roll: I suppose I can console myself that they're wasting their advertising budget on me. :grin: Or so I think. Must resist this main-stream washing through my brain... :obscene-tolietclaw:

Re: Ethernet Cables
That Melco webpage is annoying. It doesn't state what Cat cable it is. I'd find it difficult to believe that even the swankiest Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable is better for data transfer than a Farnell's sourced Cat 8 cable (at a fraction of the price). And what sort of NIC's (Network Interface Cards) to Mel...

Re: Moving to 4.0 or 5.0 or 7.0 from 2.0
Seems like one has to pay a premium for Atmos functionality. Your S660H may well be better than my 3500H in a few respects. Since getting the 3500H I've watched a few films (only 1 of them Atmos), and the first season and half of Better Call Saul on Blu-ray. Plus some TV - mostly football. It's one ...

Re: Royd A7
How does that speaker sound? If it sounds OK carry on using it and enjoying it for what it is. If it sounds pants either repair it or replace the driver or buy another speaker or pair of speakers. It's just a tool for a job. I'm pretty sure that Richard would encourage you to use your ears and to pr...

Re: Jokes & Funnies
Here's an infamous video that's both funny and shockingly scary at the same time. Where a car theft suspect is handcuffed, searched and placed in the back of a police car. And then as one of the arresting officers is walking back to his car, an acorn falls on the roof. So quietly it's not picked up ...

Re: hi-fi stand
Here's a few photos of a custom sized shelving project I did for my mum. It's much larger than a hi-fi rack, but should give you an idea of what can made from timber and glue. I used 18mm plywood for the shelves. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1byetXQCXA-xmMu-sLF3QWVOtKnMRxt0q/view?usp=drive_link h...

Re: Taking the piss out of politics
One only has to look at history to see what can happen when the government starts setting the agenda on what's extreme: Neroist Rome: anyone believing in Christianity Medieval Europe: anyone not believing in the papist version of Christianity Stalinist Soviet Union: people that exercise their sense ...
