Re: Advice on Speaker Stands

They don't look very solid to me :lol: :lol: something solid my arse :roll: Rigidity is the 'selling' point. One advantage is that they are made to measure - so they can be made wider than 'off the peg' 60cm speaker stands. But if you want really solid... http://imageshack.com/a/img924/4424/KK1itf....

Re: Advice on Speaker Stands

Does anyone use the Something Solid stands with their Cubes? Curious to know if they are a good match...

Re: Advice on Speaker Stands

My stands have 3 spikes to their triangular base.

From scratch, I can level them and have them rock solid in a minute or so each. It used to take me ages to level a floorstander I had which had 4 spikes, and I never felt like it was properly stable.

Re: Metrum

Looks like one for my shortlist. Do Igloo offer a loan scheme / trial period?

Re: Should Britain remain in Europe. ?

Calling an election removes the mandate that the 'advisory' Brexit referendum gave. No future government will be obliged to invoke Article 50, unless voted in specifically on that issue. May's problem is not whether she has a valid mandate (which can be argued either way, so choose the answer you p...

Re: BMU considerations

I have integrated amp, PC type server (vortexbox player) and DAC (plus t/t & phono amp) plugged into my BMU . When I was deciding whether to keep the BMU (I was 99% certain it was a massive improvement but I wanted to prove it) I unplugged it and put everything back into my Russ Andrews mains bl...

Re: Should Britain remain in Europe. ?

It's a delicious irony that the politicians who were so keen on the 'sovereignty of our own parliament and laws' find them so inconvenient now. The problem for May is not that parliament will vote against invoking Article 50 (it won't), but the nature of amendments that 'remain leaning' MPs (and Pee...

Re: Should Britain remain in Europe. ?

The only bloody disgrace in all this has been the behaviour of the right wing newspaper to *our* judges, who are just doing their job. The right wing press are scum. An even bigger disgrace is that the Tory Justice Minister, Liz Truss, has failed to utter a word in defence of the judges. So much fo...
