I agree with several of the other posts that one should not move to a new property thinking that noise overspill will inevitably result in confrontation with neighbours. However, I think a lot...

Exactly.

This is a review of the new LRS+

Incidentally, the original LRS model is being discounted now.

I have some experience with the challenge of putting together a good quality hifi system in properties where noise overspill is a consideration. My first serious Hi-Fi (1977) was a vinyl based...

They may not be easy to find in the UK but I can highly recommend the Martin Logan Motion 2i or the larger 4i. They are limited in terms of bass output but the midrange and treble are exceptional,...

I'm afraid I no longer use a CD player. Poor health has forced me to migrate to a remote system. Ripped all my CDs to flac and use a combination of BluOS and JRiver for playback depending on where I...

So it won't do dumplings! :hmm:

As a former Cadet 3 owner I doubt if I could have better encapsulated the characteristics of the amp.

I've been using the Co-Pilot AI app recently. I've been very impressed with its response to questions based on my professional expertise in health economics. Most recently I've been testing it with...

If you want a device for your hifi the new Cambridge CXN100 streamer is well within your budget.

You can listen to Radio 6 Music on the BBC Sounds app. You can access BBC Sounds on a phone, tablet or PC. I listen to BBC Sounds (Radio 4 and 5 Live) on my Amazon Echo 5th gen device. It is...

the tacky Formica case on my Rogers Cadet 3 amp was quite ghastly

I am not sure what the problem is. I have used this device without a single problem on pcs, tablets and phones.

Sometimes you just need to read the instructions or at least watch one of the many...

Have you checked the Amazon Music settings to ensure you have streaming set to maximum quality?

BTW if you are listening on your phone the SQ will not be great anyway.

I doubt if those looking for an affordable streaming service would be Roon user's.

I've tried most of the music streaming services. Tidal is very good but pricey. Spotify has a very good user interface but falls short on quality. They have been promising lossless streaming for ages...

Not expensive but not the best quality. Amazon had an offer of 4 month free. May still be available. Better SQ by far.

You are welcome Keir!

A good point. It is often the contractor that is blamed for cost overruns. As often as not it is the client that is largely to blame. Lack of clarity in tender production often stems from a lack of...

Flyvbjerg has just published a book addressing the challenges of big projects.

In my younger days when I was travelling to multiple countries each year I used to haul around a large and heavy camera bag. I started out with Mamiya SLRs but they were stolen from me on the train...

As to cost overruns on public sector projects, this FT story from last year is well worth reading.

As I've already posted on the HS2 thread, there are clear guidelines on the appraisal methodology to be used for public sector investments. The current version was published in 2018....
