I am planning to buy an Ikea Kallax shelve as a table for my Gyrodec SE table. The shelve is 39cm deep. Has anyone used this Kallax before for the Gyrodec SE turntable?

I made three pairs of 1.5m length interconnects using Mogami 2549. Please make sure you buy good quality RCA plugs because the insulation around the central pin of cheap plugs can melt during soldering. This time I bought some good quality Mps plugs. Each pair of DIY interconnect costs me just...

At home I am still using an Asus RT-AC86U router bought in 2018 which is a Wi-Fi 5 router. The fibre modem speed is less than 500M most of the time. There are Wi-Fi 6 routers in the market and Wi-Fi 7 routers are being advertised nowadays. The Asus RT-AC86U was one of the best routers in 2018...

I had some over 20 years old recordable DVDs which I had problem during ripping using Handbrake. I gave up ripping these faulty DVDs at the end. Old DVD and CD-R tend to be unreliable when they get old. The safest way to keep video is to rip them into computer files and back up these files into...

I used Handbrake to convert all my old DVD into files stored in my hard drive. It is easy to use.

I have used Linn Black interconnects for over 20 years but I need some new interconnects for my second system, so I recently made three pairs of 1.5m length interconnects using Mogami 2549. I used to buy cheap RCA plugs which I found the insulation material around the central pin very poor. The...

I bought a pair of Neat Elite SX in December 2023. Driven by a 35W Onix OA22 integrated amp, the Elite speakers sound fantastic. Bass is deep, vocal is very clear and channel separation is very good. I am well impressed with these speakers.

My elderly aunt caught Covid while she is staying in hospital since last week. Fortunately she is being well looked after by the staff in the hospital.

OLed televisions are great until they break down. My sister’s Samsung OLed broke down twice within five years. Then she bought a LG OLed TV which had a faulty screen within two years.

I just collected the Elite SX and they really sound superb, the midrange is clear, bass is deep and channel separation is excellent. My feet are tapping again! The little Q Acoustics 3010 sound muddled and confused in comparison. I am really surprised that the Onix OA22 can drive the Elite so well.

I am going to collect a pair of used Neat Elite SX this weekend. I always want to try a pair of floorstanding speakers after using some cheapish stand mounting speakers (Q Acoustics 3010) for many years. I heard the Elite in the seller's place last weekend. The seller was demonstrating the Elite...

I used my phone to take a photo of my son and it passed the online application without any problem. A couple of years ago, I also renewed my passport using the online application form. My colleague took the photo for me and it also passed the online application. Maybe I was lucky both times.

It took less than two weeks to receive my son’s passport. I took the photo myself and used the online application service which I found very straightforward.

I always say to my wife, when I retire I will get rid of my smart phone and only use a phone with no internet connection. I just dislike the messages I receive from WeChat for work purposes. WeChat is used in China extensively for work.

Dear Tony, I cannot believe that you are 60 years old! I have been a member of Pink Fish Media since the early days. I always think that you are in your 40s. I am 57 now. Hon
