Seriously though, how do you get anything but for under ?500?

Especially off a laptop, he just wanted something better than a crappy laptop speaker.


I'd have still gone for something with a sub woofer for a little oomph.


Actually not to hijack the thread but am pondering getting some new speakers, budget ?4-600. Any good recomendations?

I remember going to a friend's house a few years back, and we popped in to see his next door neighbour.


He took us into his lounge, where he had these just-unboxed enormous walnut and ebony columns of sound set up, connected to one of those amplifiers that only has one huge knob and a tiny light on it. He selected a particularly well-produced CD, cranked it up and the three of us stood together, in optimum stereo reception position, listening and appreciating the nuance and grandeur of pure and unadulterated stereophonic bliss for the duration of 3 minutes and 35 seconds.


And I remember thinking to myself "If I ever become this man, I will throw myself off Tower Bridge"

I was sure you were going to recommend something else from the innovations catalogue - perhaps a Bose® Wave radio?

Lets see. Its a small gamble. If it does not work out then its wife's preferred option of a new hi fi system which will cost considerably more I fear.

Scarily accurate. Except it was 1992, and it was a fairly top-end studio.


I got quite good at cleaning the gold plated (you heard me) jack plugs on the patch cables. Unfortunately I blew it when I bought the wrong type of coffee from Sainsbury's... twice.


The fact remains - Mick Mac didn't buy your silly little yellow radio. Get over it!

I know you like to condescend to us all sometimes bob, but fact is music sounds shite through a fifty quid aiwa stereo.


There is a middle ground between an ongaku valve amplifier and liquid nitrogen cooled speaker cable and 3 gram piece of plastic that purports to recreate recorded sounds.

If by 'boshed a wedge' you mean less than the cost of a maclaren puschair over the past ten years then yes I have.

Well done.


How's that feeling of superiority goin with you, making you feel better about yourself?

Enjoying getting a rise *tee hee chuckles into hand see what i did there I'm soooooo clever* so to speak? That's good.

Good for you, seriously, well done.


Edited to say some moods are better than others. Some moods' mothers etc...

Well this is all rather confusing.


Yesterday, I recommended something I actually own with a genuine thumbs-up, which costs ?120. Jeremy and you shot it down, on the grounds that it was yellow and mono and cost ?120. Mick then bought something something that costs ?100 which is nearly mono but worse in every way that the ?120 model, except wireless, which is nearly pointless.


And I'm the bad guy?

I think you've also made the mistake of assuming that my inclination to spend ?120 on a yellow mono radio must be the tip of an audiophilic iceberg indicative of ?10,000 of uberHiFi below.


We have two micro system things, less than ?200 each.


I have some studio monitors, which are (relatively) inexpensive at ?1000


We have a novelty Tivoli PAL radio.



Of all these products, the Tiv is the one I like the most and use the most - even for working on..

To be fair to bobbby, his studio monitors are tools of the trade, and it would be unfair to compare it to the price of a hi-fi.


Although saying that, if he convinces the rest of the world that mono is the way to go, he could probably sell one of them.

Not at all. Stereo is a wonderful thing, but for the purposes of what we're talking about, it isn't everything.. and more to the point it isn't anything if you're going to buy a unit that has adjacent speakers anyway.

Of course of course, but I bet they impress the neighbours don't they, eh don't they just; when you know full well some polystyrene cups and string would do the job just as well.


I work in government, I've an old Terminal on a VAX9000 and greatful for it.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government

      In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.

      Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform.

      “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
