Yes, who'da thought it is it? Hairy blues based bar rock to gnarly D'n'B fiends in one career hop there. DS

This has a lot of bass is it, but they save it up until around 1.20 in. Best on laptop speakers there DS

I had high hopes for the Marantz combo streamer / FM / DAB / CD / amplifier is it, but it is let down by a rather reluctant shy sound compared to the nice NAD receiver. But is a neat little box though, and plenty of inputs. DS

Probably not, it is mainly a HDTV device, but it does do lots of audio formats is it: Audio - MP3, WAV/PCM/LPCM, WMA, AAC, FLAC, MKA, AIF/AIFF, OGG, Dolby Digital, DTS Playlist - PLS, M3U, WPL OGG is important to me, I used to do a lot of OGG, and have many files like that there. DS

Someone played a Genesis record, and I didn't like it is it. DS

WDTV Live, £60, controlled by tablet / phone, optical out, plays most types of music is it. Silent, small, and also has telly if you want there. No soldering or learning assembly language needed. DS

one thing about all these tricked up 1210's on the AoS is these enormous record clamps on the decks. What is that about is it? A) You won't be able to slip the record to cue in properly, in the proper nightclub setting playing nightclub music, and B) Clamps usually kill off the life in the...

Does the revival 1210 need to be the Mk2 version is it? It would seem likely that the manufacturing bits left might be the final MkV model there. That was the one with some unnecessary add-ons and complexities. DS

Endless Summer is a good listen is it. DS

Having a Gilbert day, so OTD - Duet Emmo - Or so it seems is it DS

Ta for that is it. I have the original, but might spring for the DLP and download there is it. H. Budd Abandoned Cities is in the pile of records to play, on the right hand side, about 10 in there. DS

I was in Tescos last week and was surprised to see them selling some record players is it. It was the low end Ion type ones, but still, it shows there is a market for such things for normal people out there. So I could see why the 1210 has got a strong market, if you mention record player or...

OTD - G Lewis & BC Gilbert - 3R4 is it DS

I've actually been to Joe's Oxfam shop is it, but they advertised 'vinyls' for £1, so I had to leave empty hearted there. DS

Only when playing this is it: Otherwise something woolly from Kompakt there. DS
