    Request for general advice on connecting PC to Hi-fi

    Right, I've educated myself and discovered the Cambridge Audio AXR100D is probably a good solution for my needs. Those being, digital input, phono input for turntable, subwoofer output. Seems like good value for money.

    OK thanks, so in your situation the amp also includes the DAC?

    Request for general advice on connecting PC to Hi-fi

    Hi all, I’m looking at putting together an entirely new system in the kitchen/dining room to act as a family PC/home working station/music player via Spotify mostly. Importantly, it’s got to be capable of blasting some tunes at the occasional soiree post-lockdown. The problem is I’m a complete...

    **** The Official Google Pixel 3 Thread ****

    Is everyone aware you get a free £119 Google Nest Hub thingy if you buy from the Google Store? It even works if you buy more than one. Initially impressions pretty good. Somehow arrived in way under 24 hours. Nicer to hold than my Pixel XL and I prefer plastic phones as they look better for...

    **** The Official Google Pixel 3 Thread ****

    ^ Yeh that happened to me. I scraped out the compacted lint with a pin and now works good as new. Question: Will the leaked Google Pixel 3A be a worthwhile upgrade to the original Google Pixel XL? My Pixel is getting a bit laggy so wondering if an upgrade is likely to pay off.

    A bit out the loop... what's a solid mid-range mouse these days?

    My current Zowie I've had for roughly 7-8 years developed this annoying thumb button double click problem which I've put up with for years but can't be doing with any longer. Plus my MX518 which I used for work finally died so I think that's a good excuse to get something new for both work and...

    Observations on Three vs EE data speeds in Manchester

    Having put up with slow web page loading and YouTube buffering on Three for long enough I decided to buy an EE PAYG SIM to do a proper speed test comparison. I did eleven tests on each network at the same places in Manchester, starting at the city centre, testing at various tram stops and...

    Detectorists

    Never seen the first series but enjoying the second so far on iPlayer, mostly because it's reminding me what summer can be like! Maybe I need to move down south.

    Painting exterior doors in the cold

    I painted my door last weekend at it was fine, although it is under a large cover. It's water based and I put quite thin coats on. Seemed to dry in a couple of hours.

    The Fashion Thread... personal tastes, musings, and recommendations

    OK fair enough. Can't see how they would cause a problem though. They tend to fall off on their own after a while anyway.

    The Fashion Thread... personal tastes, musings, and recommendations

    Have you tried these? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Soltrack-Mens-Stick-Soles-Glue/dp/B004Z4UQFQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510586792&sr=8-1&keywords=stick+on+soles I've had my current Barkers for about 5 years and never had to replace the leather sole, but I have been through about three sets of...

    sheffield or leeds?

    Having lived in both I can offer some opinions: I found Sheffield noticeably warmer than Leeds. Sheffield city centre is relatively small and feels more like a large town. Leeds has more city based jobs and more offerings for nightlife. Sheffield possibly has more areas of attractive leafy...

    Could Germany have won WW2?

    It's probably been said already but my understanding for the eastward expansion is described by 'Lebensraum'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebensraum

    If it's a thin coating of whatever that's still left, Nitromors should work.

    HomeBuyers Report - Worth it?

    I didn't get any surveys when I bought a couple of years ago. My cousin has done a few renovations in his time so he just came and had a look round with me. From this experience, I'd say the Homebuyer report would have been worthless as it wouldn't have spotted anything extra. A full structural...

    What about some of that resin-bound thingymajiggy? Possibly cheaper than block paving?

    Using internal tiles outside - risk of frost damage?

    OK thanks. When you say sealant, does that mean your typical grouting or something else?
