    Audio Deluxe show march 23/24th

    Did a couple of hours today. Why do Audio Note insist on such a small room with 3 chairs. I failed to get a seat on 3 separate visits. I thought the Dali/ Luxman room was worthy of a mention at semi-real world prices compared to a lot of other rooms. But that Boyer system (with the...

    City vs Utd was a great game for the neutral. Sublime Rashford goal exposed City to long balls (Rashford did very little else). Just as well Foden has stepped it up as DeBruyne looks to have gone the other way. With all the injuries for Liverpool, I am sure City will get a result next week...

    Sound quality at gigs

    Gave up on live gigs some time ago - the sound is nearly always awful and the price nearly always stratospheric. I went to loads of metal gigs in my student days in the 80’s when volume was the key weapon. Its got to be something more one off these days - Mr Billy F Gibbons at Shepherds Bush...

    Record Shops

    I used to be a regular visitor to Southport, now only 2-3 times a year. Thats good to see a second vinyl store opened up. Those Friars Gig posters are truly iconic- I wish I'd have kept all mine. Have'nt managed a visit to Quicksilver for a while - is he the same guy that used to be Market...

    Will be wearing at least 5 layers today at Adam’s Park as I watch yet another mind numbingly average Chairboys performance on their steady descent to League One relegation.

    What is the worst recorded piece of vinyl that has ever laid eyes on your platter?

    Not sure Speedy Keen got much more production work after both LAMF and Motörhead’s first album both released Oct 1977

    What is the worst recorded piece of vinyl that has ever laid eyes on your platter?

    Indeed, I believe the original recording (as handed to Bowie) was a 3 track mix, one iggy’s vox, one Williamson’s guitar, and the third with the rest of the band - so not a lot to work with.

    Mark That is a lovely looking listening room. I presume those Acapellas are Jim’s cast offs.

    Easy win for Liverpool in the end- Newcastle are poor away from home. Nunez far too wasteful, but nice dive from Jota. Just hope Klopp remembers that when he's on the wrong end of a VAR decision.

    Devialet. Start where s/h, and would I like it at all?

    Same story here, 20 years of very happy Naim ownership was suddenly turned on its head by a home dem of Devialet. Super configurable and very dynamic sounding - no regrets here whatsoever. £2.5k for a D250 is an absolute bargain.

    Pet insurance (dog) - where to start?

    Where to start........................ Go with a provider that you have heard of. Vets always push Pet Plan. Theres any number of things to consider: Straight excess or reduced excess + x% of the vets bill. Levels of cover vary from 'Lifetime' i.e. A total amount payable for any one condition...
