I was disagreeing until you mentioned iTunes which is admitedly brilliant. When I was a PC user, I did like BeoPlayer, in part because Windows Media Player is a trrully horrid piece of software, in part because of the beautiful way it hides away and doesn't even take up space at the bottom of your screen, other than the icon next to the clock. iTunes

I know that occasionally we get posts complaining of poor service that they've received. Well, I thought that to counter this, I would write down my experience with trying to get hot water in the UK. If you think that over-charging for installlation is bad, read this: I moved into the flat at the start of June. It had been unoccupied for some years

http://calvingraham.co.uk/mysetup2.jpg is a bit closer. Maybe i will tidy up the lines if/when i do some more work. For now it looks fine unless you're less than a few feet away. I also have a fairly dimmed, 60ish look to the place which helps (other than for photography). I ponder with what with the painting oging on (deliberate or not) whether

I looked at this same setup 2 or 4 years ago. My memory is that that it was far cheaper to spend the money getting a good quality additional set of passive speakers, low resistance/reactance cable, and a (rarish and expensive) sensor to hook up to the 5500

Well here's a picture of one of the speakers. You really can't see the tear in the cloth now. Being a film man myself, refusing to buy a digital camera, I've had to crop two poor quality webcam shots together. Obviously I need to paint the wires for my newly mounted speakers. I'm also quite tempted to extend the pattern on the speaker

This is a topic that crops up on a semiregular basis, but we only ever get recomendations from what the newest garden playthings are. To save the hassle of trawling through the internet for many dull audiophile websites, does anyone want to explain how these seakers differ? Are outdoor speakers made with different polymers or is everything shielded

I have admitedly seen that before, but not since I got a Mac myself; It really is a beautiful setup. I've been planning to put together something like that myself, a media centre, encased in an old piece of kit. It would certainly be good to see a completely beyond repair B&O unit reborn like a phoenix into a new addition to a system. My thinking

My first response was "a jpeg"

You don't need to have a neutral wire for a light switch. Further, most main lights don't have a neutral wire. What you could do though, is have a switch, then recess an LC2 in the wall a foot or so above the main switch rather than have it hanging from the ceiling. It really all depends on the look of your room. Personally, I have a powerful

I'll get some done tomorrow when I've hung them up. I'm waiting for the NoMoreNails to dry on the brackets I screwed and glued up. I should say thatnks to joeyboygolf for selling me the two of them! Maye I should have waited a day or two to write the post but I wanted to get it off my chest, so to speak.
