    Name the best speakers you have EVER heard please

    A number of people have mentioned Quad ESL57. I used to have a pair of those. I now have 2805s and I think they are better.

    Which transmitter/frequency is best for Radio 3 FM in Lancashire?

    I reckon that, assuming your internet connection is reliable, iplayer is the best option. I have LMS and Squeezelite running on a Raspberry Pi 3 and HiFiBerry Digi+. The results are far better than you would get on FM, and you also have access to all the other stations around the world.

    MDAC First Listen (part 00111001)

    Not everyone has, or wants, such an account. If all the interesting discussions are held there, I think the customer base will dwindle over time.

    Half speed mastering

    Half speed mastering

    I'm not sure i see the point of this: you make a hi-res192-kHz/24-bit digital version and then cut a vinyl disk?

    UK Broadband

    That's interesting. I was only going on what the Openreach engineer said to me.

    UK Broadband

    This happened to me. I signed up to be notified, but heard nothing, so I complained to the Welsh Minister in charge of broadband affairs and was told fibre was available in my area (Lampeter, Ceredigion). Checking on the website, I found that I could get fttp and up to 300Mbps, and I'm now the...

    BBC Radio 3 broadcasting in FLAC for duration of The Proms

    Hmmnn. I tried the Ubuntu PPA from that page and it doesn't seem to work for 17.04 It's fine with Squeezelite / LMS, but I'd like to experiment with recording it.

    Invite: MQA Core vs. Hi-Res Blind Test

    But if I think I can't tell the difference, I have no basis for preferring A to B.

    Invite: MQA Core vs. Hi-Res Blind Test

    You mean I should say "Yes I prefer A to B, but I can't hear any difference between them"?

    Invite: MQA Core vs. Hi-Res Blind Test

    There's a problem with the survey. It needs a "don't know" option when comparing the tracks. It forces you to choose between the two, even if you don't know, just in order to be able to submit the survey

    Invite: MQA Core vs. Hi-Res Blind Test

    Ah. Thanks. That was the one source I didn't try. - Richard.

    Invite: MQA Core vs. Hi-Res Blind Test

    On my (Linux) system unzip says: Archive: 2017-07-14_MQA_Core_vs_Hi-Res_Blind_Test.zip End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will...

    Audio Cables Do They Improve Sound?

    Only if they're really really expensive ;) But it's better to have them than not.
