Alas yes :( "If you passed your test in Ukraine before 28 December 2021, you can exchange your licence to drive an automatic vehicle only. This is because the driving licence authority in Ukraine did not keep details about the type of vehicle a test was taken in before this date."...

Our Ukrainian needs a car that’s small and affordable and, alas due to regs for refugees with Ukrainian driving licences in the Uk, automatic. We’ve found a couple of relatively local high mileage Toyota Yaris autos - one 88k and the other 110k - she can just about afford but I’m worried they...

@ToTo Man Thanks for the advice, extension is less important to me than definition which is why I went originally with two xxls200. But now I want a fourth sub and it will be the xxls400 because I like the effect of its' addition so much. Current plan is two xxls400 behind each of the Sp40s and...

Have x1 xxls400 and x2 xxls200 of which one is not switched on as I can’t get it to integrate and don’t have time / energy to try again right now. the xxls400 is a much bigger beast than the xxls200 and I added it about five months ago; had been running the two xxls200s for a few years. It has...

...and I've just had a message to say they're buying locally so stand down. Thanks for the replies!

This is an odd one I guess.... We have a Ukrainian lady and her daughter staying with us under the 'Homes for Ukraine' scheme. She comes from a village in the NW of the country which has so far seen little impact from the war apart from the conscription of many of the menfolk into fighting...

I have X26Pro & U18 and very happy with it. Excellent levels of detail, more natural than Qutest, good timbre. I suspect the next level up would be several £k, its a real bargain.

You're quite correct to site at least one sub at height :) see

Dynaudio Special 40 or Contour 20i or, with a push, Heritage special?

@jayjay8 thanks for the offer - happy to take a playlist that I can access on Qobuz or perhaps in my collection somewhere but as it happens I don't currently have a means of ripping or playing CDs - the Plextor CD drives and copy of dbPowerAmp need to be unearthed from an old PC and attached to...

Start with a USB cable perhaps? I got an Audioquest Coffee recently secondhand and am thrilled with it. Another left field option - can Jriver stream to another device? Perhaps consider a raspberry pi running volumio or similar device as endpoint and keep the pc somewhere else. The raspberry pi...

Thank you so much that would be ideal! 3m is perfect. I will wait with bated breath :)

@ABCaudio Alan just wondering if a demo set of ls-80 is doing the rounds and if so how I get in the loop pls?

@jayjay8 Thanks for your kind words about our properties, Owl is the one I managed to squeeze a small vinyl system into as a nod to my audiophile heritage. Although I left a copy of 'Abba Arrival' in there plus some random finds so perhaps not quite the gestalt I was hoping for :) Am now...

@jayjay8 thanks for the recommendation, I'm glad you're pleased with your set but somewhat jealous that you need less length - I need 3m so it's close to £2k for me. I would need to talk fast to SWMBO! We've taken to spending relaxed evenings listening to music in the background whilst (say)...
