Having visited every room and listened in all of them, the standouts for me were: - KEF Blade 2s being run off a...

    Little Bear MC3 XLR & RCA Switch Review

    Depends on the design as to how effective it is surely? If it pops or crackles whilst changing input/output it will not be as effective

    Little Bear MC3 XLR & RCA Switch Review

    Any network or Wi-Fi experts here?

    It's threads like this that show how great Internet forums can be. OP has an issue and everyone piles in to fix it with no barbed comments or vitriol in sight. Keep up the good work people.

    Hot (or cold) Christmas drink, what do you drink in your country?

    I guess traditional in the UK would be mulled wine or mulled cider (I have bottles of both ready to go), but I also have bottles of fizz, red, white, rosé, Perry, cider, beer and even some dessert wine for when the time is right.

    Do I really need 3 remotes to watch TV.

    I had the sofabaton, and it worked OK, but the buttons were heavy and clicky and started to lose responsiveness after 18 months. I then bought a logitech elite with hub secondhand from ebay. Much better. And I can link it to various other IOT systems. So it controls my TV, AVR, 2 satellite...

    Combined Streamer & DAC suggestions?
