    Can BBC Sounds be accessed via a Wiim mini ?

    Just wish to double check before purchase. Thank you.

    Hi-Fi Racks are no longer in business by the looks of it

    They made great products that reflected a fair price. Folk don't get this anymore. Everyone seems to want bottom line prices for stuff. If you want quality, you need to pay for it.

    [WTD] Full hi fi system inc music up to 12k

    Lord, this ad lacks intelligence. Decide what you want, then buy it. Genuine apologies if this sounds rude, but c'mon !

    How much??!!

    Stacked Falcons, anyone done this ? I do love the insane side of this hobby.

    Quad 306 set up

    I'd have agreed with you up until recently Martyn. Acquired a 909 a month or so ago, it's a stunning thing. It doesn't however have that 'classic' feel about it though.

    How much??!!

    Many seem to mention the cost of LS3/5a with scorn, though the issue reminds me of a lovely Alexi Sayle joke from many years ago: "Someone said to me the other day, 'lex, why are you drunk all the time. So I told him, because I can afford to be" :) I bought my pair of Falcons new because I...

    How much??!!

    We all perceive value differently if course. I'd like to add my further thoughts on this as I find the subject really engaging. If I could afford a £35k car (I can't !), I'd much rather have a £22k car and these speakers. Anyway, this is all fanciful irrelevance :rolleyes:

    How much??!!

    Yes, but if I had the new ones I'd have an expensive pair and a really expensive pair ;) On a less flippant note, if a business can make a beautiful and desirable thing that will sell.........well that's business ! And on a human level, I'd rather see something like this sold than shitloads...

    AI-generated descriptions, lazy sellers?

    We're slowly sinking to the lowest common denominator I think, not questioning what the computer says or using initiative. When I'm selling gear on eBay I tend to say I'm a hi fi enthusiast of many years and reassure the potential buyer all is genuine, which of course it is. I'd stay a mile...

    Quad 306 set up

    Not the best in terms of ultimate resolution and detail but on the flip side a beautifully warm presentation. The tilt controls on the 34 are a marvel, subtle but noticeable. Check eBay sold items for current valuations. Bought wisely you'll lose nothing or little if sold on. Serviced units with...

    Passive pre-amps with remote ?

    I'm doubting selling mine is the right thing to do now !

    Passive pre-amps with remote ?

    I have a Creek OBH-22 on eBay, no remote but I believe you can buy non Creek ones. It's a stunning piece of kit, and now I know just how good passives are my intention is to go the way of Music First Audio.
