Re: Sony 770es Sold

Giving a full value trade-in on items up to 2 years old is the most flexible, simple and helpful thing I've heard of by any hifi manufacturer or dealer, ever.

Re: New Computer Problems - HELP!

I must admit I am dreading my next PC being Windows 10. It appears to be everything I would hate.

Not keen on Apple profit margins or their 'nanny state' operating system...but it may have to be.

The billionaire property developer is promising a rebuild of America's infrastructure...and he is handing out the contracts. He's learnt that off Putin and Erdogan...

Re: Donald Trump

Trump is merrily backtracking / forgetting / denying nearly all of what he said during the campaign...ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

Re: Royd Audio (new)

Sitting here listening to a pair of Cube 1, I have to say that they are much more than decent. They deserve a much wider audience. Too many folks just don't know what they are missing...
