The important notes here though that may not be clear to all are that the global brands use the courts to stop you, as an "unauthorised" retailer from undercutting their selected local channels. This...

Very much the case for me, both CDs and vinyl. "S" is by a goodly margin the largest volume.

Like in any walk of life there are "canny" operators. You know the sort - antique dealers who intentionally dress in quality-but-fallen-on-hard-times clothing to garner sympathy, the farmer who...

Thanksfully nothing too major - a handful of records over the years scratched to useless by being dropped on harder-than-vinyl corners, slipping out of inner sleeves and the like.

My "favourite"...

All my CDs are ripped as FLAC and stored on a NAS as well as backed up off-site. About 33k tracks. The CDs used to be on shelving where the vinyl now resides and so they have all been housed in...

One problem is that of "new blood". If all the so-called high end HiFi is either found to be or even seen to be a rip-off then this discourages new entrants into the consumer space which in turn...

I don't think it's so much rip-off as full of chancers, shills and spivs. But nor is this specifically a British thing - there are plenty in all English speaking countries. Does it affect the...

Yep. I did this with Sony a long time ago in the early days of Freeview when their UK sub-contractor screwed up an on-site update to a TV PCB and then blamed me! Wrote to Sony UK and cc'ed by fax...

Of course! But I'll have to put the Bushmaster back in the rack that got moved due to a lack of space ;)

I got me a Clearaudio Double Matrix Professional this weekend. Found an 2nd hand but unused unit for sale online and eventually succumbed. I was waiting for the new model due out later this month but...

Is there a wall behind you that may be reflecting back at you and causing some sort of cancellation - even a few feet away, not immediately behind you?

I put reflections traps on the ceiling in a...

I am in wholehearted agreement with the "Knosti fluid is junk" opinions. Once you accept that, the cleaner and air-dry rack is not too bad for the price.

My non-RCM system at the moment is two...

I've bought on discogs a few times but as I have a long standing problem with PayPal I have to limit it to sellers who will take CC or bank transfers (the latter only for small purchases). I have...

Following through to the flyer and the catalogue... wow.

I emailed Clearaudio with an enquiry about the Double Matrix Pro and dealers and they replied that there is a new model on the was that also does ultrasonic called, unsurprisingly, the Clearaudio...

Yeah, spoke to Stan already and we'll sort something out in the next couple of weeks. It's all cool :)

I have a Bushmaster MKI that's found it's way to the office with an old Squeezbox Classic 3 and when I use this with my Audio Technica AT-ES700 headphones there is too much bass. I normally use the...

I clean my records in batched of 30-45 (15 drying per rack) and sometimes I just look and admire how fresh and new they look in the right light after they've dried. It's a satisfying thing in itself....

This was what stopped me using the Knosti proprietary fluid - the stylus would always get crap on it after cleaning even if the anti-static properties were excellent. Now, with the generic mixture...

Hmm. OK. Will try, but it's a pile of disassembled chipboard and veneer in an overcrowded home office/box room. When I get home...

I've ended up with soft Sorbothane pads with single at the front and two at the back to make the TT flat as my floor near the fireplace is quite slanted. Works well AFAICT. These one, with a...

I moved from the Knostis to the Spinclean but using two baths - one of 80/20 water/isopropol/rinse agent and one rinse bath in both cases. I tried the Spinclean fluid without a rinse and I didn't...

Was used for vinyl shelving and drinks cabinet, not surplus and *not* going into the loft I am about to clear out.

The colour is a light wood from the early 2000s, no longer part of the remaining...

I am going to be clearing out the loft and I have my old RTL TDL3s up there. Blown tweeters (I think) and melted cross-overs after being over driven at a party I lent them to years ago. Lockwood...

I am confused about this so-called "defective" sleep function. Mine works exactly as I expect. The lights are off unless I press a button but the DAC works perfectly.
