Re: Subjective Reviews vs Measurements

The home is the most important component in the hi-fi system. With the most important specification being noise bleed to the nearest neighbouring property. Which could be measured scientifically. But never is. I'd rather listen to a wisely put together cheap as chips sub £150 system in a detached h...

Re: Subjective Reviews vs Measurements

Battle lines have been drawn on forums on this issue, questioning measurements results in an instant ban on ASR. Both approaches are flawed. Music is not a science and there is a lot more to its enjoyment, or lack of it, than can be shown on charts and graphs. Subjectivism is flawed because of all t...

Re: No place in the sun...

I have found that the prices of holiday accommodation in the Uk have rocketed since Brexit and Covid. Did not go for a holiday in the UK last year because of this, together with no guarantees about the weather. Had to stay in London twice for AC/DC and a wedding and inferior hotels cost a lot more t...

Re: Similar to the thread I started about hifi

I would be more inclined to say rock is on life support rather than dead. Everything that could be done was done by the 1990s. Everything since has been a rehash. In addition the landscape has changed so much in the last 25 years with only a tiny minority buying the physical product. Record companie...

Re: Similar to the thread I started about hifi

I'm well over 20 and I couldn't name a Nirvana "song". I not sure being able to name something by a group whose music doesn't interest me is a particularly valuable metric. My granddaughters really like Smells like teen spirit. What ever you say, means nothing to me The likes of kids toda...
