    'Audiophile' power fuses

    Personally, I think these are one of the most ludicrous snake-oil opportunities that exist in hifi and there are plenty of peddlers. How can a relatively simple, single-component device that's designed to protect from over-voltage make such a claimed significant audible/sonic difference within a...

    Thoroughly modern lesbians....

    ...including some thoroughly gratuitous bedside cabinet R2R action :O

    Cutover. The death of analogue.

    Cable-related videos are always popping up in my youtube feed, for obvious reasons I suppose. All those emails and cable manufacturers website cookies reporting back to google on me etc. But this particular video had me enthralled - a 'speedy cutover' service from an old analogue telephone...

    COAX cable causing 'channel imbalance'

    Got a customer claiming that the 'Crafty COAX' cable I built for him with an RCA connector at one end and a BNC connector at the other is causing 'channel imbalance' in his system. Of course it's not the cable; an audio coax cable is just a bridge for a single digital data stream that deals in...

    dbx224 worth taking a punt on?

    I already have a High-Com II which is superior to DolbyB/C imo and I have a Yamaha K720 with dbx NR which I've never been that impressed with (pumping). I can pick up this little unit for not much money and can plug it into the NR loop on my dbx400 and then play around with dbx on the Dragon...

    'High End'. What does that description mean to you?

    I've never been comfortable with the term 'High End' when referring to audio gear. I know why it's used of course- it's a differentiator. It says 'I'm better than your lowly cheap tat' and I think we can all possibly agree tha there is a direct correlation with the term and the associated asking...

    HP 3478A 5.5 Digit Digital Multimeter

    Oldschool DMM that takes up a lot of bench real-estate, but can anyone recommend it for measuring mV (has 100nanovolt sensitivity apparently). Can pick one up close to me for a very few shekels. Any better budget-oriented options? Example...

I don't care what anyone says, it's the bestest deck in the whole wide world. lol Salaciously pornographic production values on this one :O I'd still choose Megyn Kelly if I was given the choice of who...

    Christ on a rusty bike - 3 pages of drivel discussing if Maxell should have a big or small 'M'

    I'll never get this time back. And neither will you. Who has time for that kind of bullshit? Thankfully I didn't get to the end of the first page before my eyes started to glaze over. Most important and pressing topic of the day over at TH.

    A recall from AliExpress! whodathunkit?

    Whodathunkit indeed! I never thought I'd receive this email from AliExpress. From those Chinese people who make buildings from tofu and cars from cardboard they would be so concerned for my health and wellbeing! lol They're also *gasp* offering a refund on the last roll I bought. Why not the...

    Handbags at noon

    LOL All I did was repost a video on head-cleaning technique and referred to the origin as 'former banned TH member Andrej'. 'editorial bullshit' LOOL Someone really has it in for me over there. I wonder who?

    Scam site?

    Can't find any reviews or info for this site. Prices seem too good to be true and they have an item I have been searching high and low for with a very good price. But I'm suspicious. https://www.discount-audio-equipment.com/ If it looks like a scam and it smells like a scam, it's probably a...

    Bill from Curious Cars

    Great compilation of the dark madness that spills from his un-filtered brain and out into the medium of youtube. e.g. 'Whoever owned this car probably had a collection of severed feet'

    Strictly for the headphone freaks

    I've linked this site far and wide but not here yet I think, so I thought I'd share it... Here One of the most useful websites for testing headphones. There are quite a few headphone test sites but Stefane's is one of the most comprehensive and complete for the average user. I have way too...

    Any Vangelis fans here?

    Been following Dr Mix's channel since its' inception and it's been fun to watch it grow and expand into what it is today. His new studio is just an analogue synth-lovers wet dream. All that gear! Drool Anyway, as someone who's been noodling around with synths since my teens and also a big fan...

    She's a bewt isn't she?

    Possibly one of the most classy, convincing and professional-looking Aventador clone kits I've ever seen! And believe me; I've *chuckle* seen a lot! Yours for just €12,999 from Wolf Autos. Have a feeling this one might not hang around for long as wannabe Aventador owners will be clamouring for...
