I truly believe this has a great deal to do with it. I experienced my first ever true road rage incident last week thanks to a young lad driving like an absolute lunatic. However, I'm guessing that driving like he did woudl bring him glory and points on the likes of Grand Theft Auto

I've never found Steely Dan boring. Maybe you ned a better turntable? ;)

You don't need to go to Central London - they're a chain all over the country... https://thealchemistbars.com/venues/

I've watched Mat's video and want a Wheel even more than I did already now! I was close to being an early Kickstarter subscriber but was put off by the MagLev fiasco, so decided not to bother. Kind of regretting that now...

The Tabriz isn't a unipivot - it has conventional gimbal bearings. You may be thinking of the Nima.

Interesting that it costs £300k - it was hinted early on that it was likely to be six figures. At £300k, however, I believe that makes it £200k cheaper than a TechDas Air Force Zero. Given that the Zero comes without an arm and still uses a rubber band, the WB suddenly seems pretty good value…

Then you need to go to one of the Alchemist bars!

If we're talking the best then I though the four part TV adaptation of Iain Banks' The Crow Road was absolutely superb and really captured the book very well.

The film adaptations of James Patterson's 'Alex Cross' novels. Morgan Freeman is a superb actor, but he definitely wasn't anything like Alex Cross from the books. And don't get me started on Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher...

Well, that’s it, then. I’m giving up hi-fi. Are you happy now? ARE YOU??! 😁

Nah, why would anyone bother with that when trotting out stuff they’ve read from the internet is so much easier?! ;) Must watch Techmoan’s video when I get time. He’s not usually far wrong about most of this stuff.

Given the OP mentions an “ SR Orange” fuse, I think we know exactly what BS it is made to…

It will blow more quickly under a fault condition and might ‘nuisance blow’ occasionally if there are any voltage spikes or depending on any switch-on surge that the equipment naturally exhibits. It will not affect the normal operation or performance of the equipment in any way. But the...

I listen to Diana Krall for enjoyment and have most of her albums. Fantastic voice and a superb pianist IMHO. I’ve seen her live twice as well. And I will also never, ever tire of hearing Hotel California, either.

Yep, I love a bit of colour on equipment - my favourite finish of the new SME Model 60 turntable is the bright blue one! However, I remember chatting to the UK distributor of Consonance years ago when they introduced their 'Forbidden City' range with fascias in black, grey or red. The red...
