I regularly listen to Paradise on my Wiim mini.

One of mine is incredible, (if it is not credible, why bother with it?) and another is the need for reporters to begin their sessions with "absolutely"

Bob did some brilliant radio broadcasts. He would be just as good as a podcaster. Most are still rubbish though

Agree with most of the above, but must add Neil Diamond and the Smiths. I am left wonder what I have my system for!

Ls50 meta £1000, R3 £900, time to jump, but which way? How long might these prices hold?

I intended to refer to rap (and perhaps should have extended my reference) in a positive way as it is reflective of a wider culture in a way which most "pop" is not. Yes I do know there is new in every genre, I do know that most is not substantial, (do I need to define that?), I do know that...

Perceptual bias? Of course it exists! Luckily I don't suffer from it (I think).

I looked through all the previous, hoping this would not show, so I could declare the winner at end! Well, reading no further, this is it!

Anyone preferring the NAD? Many thanks for the above, it looks like I can't go wrong with the Denon. Or are there any other suggestions?;)
