Dear Marco,
I respect your views on hifi but the stuff you are circulating about coronavirus is just plain wrong. Of course you are entitled to your own opinions about medical matters but this forum...

I have a Mayware unipivot arm, which is tricky to set with perfect azimuth. I found that a spirit level is a poor tool for the job: it is inaccurate, its weight upsets the arm alignment and errors in...

I am Alasdair from Leeds, just signed on to the forum. My system is a bit of a mixture of semi-modern and vintage - the modern bit is a Rotel CD player and a Pure DAB radio tuner (front end) and...
