| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... @digitalviper - Never ask a salesperson for advice on stuff they don't sell. | |
| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? There's a simpler explanation for slowing vinyl sales - inflation and the crunch in tech jobs. Vinyl records are a luxury purchase and an easy casualty when people's real spending power is decreased. | |
| KEF's meta material gimmick? It's an incremental improvement to an already excellent design. Over-marketed probably, but it has its merits. @Jasonbourne52. Better than Linn Kans - now that's damning with faint praise... | |

| Burt Bacharach has passed away One of the greatest songwriters of all time (with due credit to the contribution of Hal David) in their purple period. Sadly missed but lives on in music. | |
| FUSE BOX delivers perfect protection and superior sound PS It's not a fuse box as it's a circuit breaker not a fuse. Given the dictionary definitions for fuse, perhaps just as well:)) fuse 2 of 4 noun (1) : an electrical safety device consisting of or including a wire or strip of fusibl... | |

| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. I can't see any justification in starting with vinyl nowadays. First there is the investment in the software, second there is the investment in the hardware. There is an opportunity cost in both and even just looking at the hardware alone, money s... | |
