| A true legend has passed away! ' Set it and forget it ' ZZ Top meets Ronco- who would have thought it- sharp dressed chicken? | |
| A true legend has passed away! ' Set it and forget it ' There’s a great book by Malcolm Gladwell called What The Dog Saw that has a chapter on him- I always think of roast chicken when his name comes up. Also a chapter called The Ketchup conundrum about why there are dozens of different mustards and on... | |
| Allison and Snell - Against the Wall PMC wafers- remember being very impressed when I was in the entrance hall at The Stables by the sound coming from a panel on the wall. Apparently they're used by the BBC as well. | |
| Allison and Snell - Against the Wall Didn't PMC do a wall panel speaker? | |
| Noise floors There is a constant roar outside now- I just pretend it's the sound of waves crashing on an imaginary beach. We also get ambulance and police sirens at least 3 times a day and aircraft from the local aerodrome and passenger jets higher up.Give m... | |
| Noise floors Tyre/ road noise far worse than anything else for me (has got worse over the years with wider and lower profiles and more traffic)- no-one seems to have done much about itApart from that the weekend motorbike groups with their stupid loud pipes. | |

| Samsung flat screen TV’s Have two early curved 55inch OLED LGs (pre 4K) that have been faultless for years of daily use and still amazing picture; always had problems with Samsung stuff and the newer Pioneer gear is very disappointing. Can't stand all this smart TV stuff-... | |
| Do you care about car audio? Remember in the 80's one of dad's clients was a car audio installer in a posh commuter area- as a kid I was knocked out by his Porshe 911 with speakers in the headrests and being allowed to sit in it and rev the motor; still gives me a kick thinki... | |
| I am getting some new tubes for my amp, and I want to do a 24-hour burn in. How? The queen has someone to break in her shoes for her.. | |
| I am getting some new tubes for my amp, and I want to do a 24-hour burn in. How? Agree with mapman- why waste tube life- you don't put your car on rollers to bed the tyres in, you just take it easy for a while or end up in a hedge.Keep a diary of hours and perceived sound if you're that anal unless it's the istant gratificatio... |
