    Bristol Show 2024

    I was there on Friday. Overall the standard of demonstrations was quite a bit higher than other shows I’ve been to recently. There were very few really bad dems and there was a pleasing derth of plinky plonky jazz and lots of interesting music. High Spots Kerr Audio - they had some fairly...

    Speaker cable (different question)

    That was the basis for my question. Thanks.

    Speaker cable (different question)

    Is there any reason why you shouldn't use different cable for the send (red) and return (black) lengths of a speaker cable? Apologies for the simplistic approach, but if the voltage is pushed and pulled through the red connection then (assuming you believe cables make any difference) then...

    HS2 - levelling up... LOL

    One thing I haven't seen discussed, and which was brought home to me when I drove past some of the tunnelling yesterday: you can't just stop HS2. There would be an enormous amount of work to close down and make safe all the places where work that has been done thus far, and that would be...

    Another film spoiled by overbearing music score....

    I'm with Tiggers on this (there's always a first time:)). I fully agree with alanbeeb's comments above. I thought it was a staggeringly good film with absolutely excellent performances from all the leads Also, the obsession with communism WAS the historical context. I personally didn't...

    Your experience with Roon

    Again, true if you've added them to your library. Not if you're doing a search for (e.g.) an artist, album or track.

    Your experience with Roon

    If you've favourited an album on Tidal or Qobuz it will show in your My Music library, but if you want to search for something you need to do so separately.

    Your experience with Roon

    Being pedantic, the ad above (which has clearly marketing hype) doesn't spell out your need to I can see that might be occasionally useful but there are much bigger issues with that - particularly the attitude of their support team which you've experienced. I'm surprised they didn't tell you...

    Your experience with Roon

    Fortunately the AP prevents me from explaining what I guess about you from the above. As a matter of interest, is there a product that meets your criteria without any other major drawbacks? The Roon board has loads of complaints from people because their particular edge case isn't handled...

    Your experience with Roon

    The last time I tried it you had to install a number of plugins and set up a last.fm account with LMS to replicate most of the functionality of Roon. No great challenge for someone computer literate but not quite Apple levels of "it just works". Also, LMS could search (very effectively) your...

    Witch Hat Audio ceases trading

    That will come as a bit of a surprise to Audio Note UK, among others.

    Audio Forums

    Could you point us at the posts where he said that please? I ask because that's not at all what he said in many of his posts that I've read.

    The 2023 Formula One Season

    I think it was Bernie E who was asked what would improve F1 and replied "sprinklers". Yesterday certainly supports that theory.

    MQA - Is it too soon to say "good riddance"?

    This article gives a very good balanced view. https://www.ecoustics.com/news/mqa-bankruptcy/ This part may help explain the "why now?" MQA’s attempt to get the MQAir codec into the Bluetooth standard failed when the Bluetooth SIG did not add it to the latest release. MQA had certainly been...
