Titanic Wig-Wam forum
The Wig-Wam forum appears to have gone as buggy as hell. My current work-around to get into it is to log my account in or out. Probably some weird cookie shit going on. I am currently the last person to have posted on the 2 Channel section of the forum. 2 days ago. Feels like I'm the last person lef...

Re: Forum Slow Running & Hanging
Phew. Thought my new phone was pants. Is it just me, or is Wam also problematic? The WAM has multiple problems due to withdrawal of IT support and an absent / hostile owner. The admins and most of the mods have left there to set up a new forum... https://www.maverick-hifi.com/ With Duvet going over...

Re: Compression
Feedback from whom? Complete and utter morons? There are plenty of them about in the music biz. I see parallels with the world of art. Where there's plenty of follow-the-leader sheep that think that efforts like this are worth paying money for: https://media.istockphoto.com/id/649249402/photo/abstra...

Re: Compression
I see it as a downward spiral. Dynamic compression used because so few people listen via hi-fi systems. Low interest in buying hi-fi because almost all modern music is so dynamically compressed.

Re: Compression
The Circus and the Nightwhale by Steve Hackett has a DR of 11. This is not as bad as the DR of 6 on Ace Frehley's Origins, Vol 2. But it's still a rather mediocre and audibly compressed production for an artist that performed on Genesis' Genesis (DR 16). As for that article, I disagree with the bit ...

Re: Moving to 4.0 or 5.0 or 7.0 from 2.0
Bought a used Denon 3500H off Facebook Marketplace for £320. Initial thoughts are that it sounds tonally leaner than the Marantz - and OK overall. Maybe I need to fiddle with the default, post auto-setup EQ settings? I'll see how I get on when I get my next couple of rental blu rays later this week....

Something to drive the Dynaudio 62's?
A pick-up truck to drive them to the dump.
Try speakers that aren't slimline ported low efficiency.

Re: Moving to 4.0 or 5.0 or 7.0 from 2.0
I bought a Marantz SR6010 for £480. I've initially set it up as a 7.0 system. Using EV Sentrys as fronts, a Linn Isobarik as the centre speaker, Saras as rears and Heybrook HB1's as sides. After watching an Our Brand is Crisis DVD on it my children declared that it was a waste of money. :grin: We'l...

Re: Dutch Elections
Sounds like a pretty good form of anarchy.
The Netherlands is a pretty well organised and industrious place. The people there can carry on with their lives OK for a while, even if there's no clear set of people right at the top of the political hierarchy.
