    Evening Negroni with Strawberry-Anise bitters, and a background of unknown (because I forgot what it was) Tiki style concoction.

    Manhattans in the winter, Mai Tai's in the summer.....as it is above freezing here today let's call it summer!

    Heated Garage?

    I had this exact situation and chose the option of thermostatically controlled electric heaters closer to the floor, connected to 220. Worked great here in there frozen North (Canada). Even though my garage was already set up with a gas line this was a more cost effective solution as I as well...

    Dual KEF kc62 vs. single larger sub?

    I have LS60's and one KC62 in a medium sized room, kitchen/living room that is open on each side. Often my wife and neighbours think the sound level and bass is excessive. I am not going measurements and such here, only by personal responses. Everyone that listens "thinks" the system is stellar...

    KEF LS60 Wireless Just Announced

    LS60's for over a year now, along with 5 grandchildren and 5 rowdy dogs that visit with them. Knock on wood, but no issues this far. There is enough to keep them occupied, and on the one or two occasions when one did want to touch the speakers a quick "tut-tut" was all it took. I am more worried...

    Hi Res music

    I have been rather happy with Deezer for the past couple of years, and since it streams at Airplay 1 (not 2) it goes at CD quality. I understand that the ability to stream at hi res is not the same as the catalogue being all hi res, in fact maybe 10% or whatever of a streaming service such as...

    What streaming service do you use?

    I currently stream via Airplay 1 which generally works for me. I have tried the KEF Connect app with good results, however the big limitation is I have playlists of up to 6000 tracks and the Connect app does not play well with that. Deezer Connect is not (yet) supported by my LS60's and I hate...

    What streaming service do you use?

    I do believe that would be the max. Along those lines, it would be good to note how much of any streaming library can go better than that as most is not actually available in hi res, and then you have to decide if in your listening environment can you really hear a difference between CD and hi...

    Apple Music Streaming quality in Kbps, Losses vs. Hi-Res, AirPlay 1 vs AirPlay 2

    If I read this correctly, you agree with what I read on Darko's site which suggests that, for me at least, Airplay 1 is still the preferred way to stream. My LS60's are Airplay 2 compatible but as I stream from Deezer which supports Airplay 1 I still get CD quality which is good for most of my...

    KEF LS60 Advice

    I understand that LS60's in a traditional European style kitchen (I have been in many!) might not be ideal. If what the OP proposes is a setting like my "kitchen", which is really a great room setting that opens to a seating area and adjacent rooms, then I think humidity would not be an issue. I...

    KEF LS60 Advice

    Your room sounds rather similar to mine, results here are stellar and I think you will be happy! Oh, and loud enough to get your neighbours involved.....

    There is a new Eve Airplay device coming out.

    I don't see anywhere in the literature that the device will actually stream lossless via Airplay? I am sure that it can, but in reality is the stream downsampled?

    What streaming service do you use?

    Deezer for now, still streams lossless on Airplay 1.

    Recommendations for Ho Chi Minh City

    We were there a few months ago, stayed in District 1 close to the Ben Thanh market. There is so much to do, and it does depend on your tastes so everyone's recommendations will vary. Check out episodes of Anthony Bourdain and Phil Rosenthal to get some ideas of culinary adventures. Take a "free"...

    Bluetooth speaker for travel

    I am still happy with my UE Boom and Megaboom, having compared to offerings by Sonos, Bose, JBL and as well Bang and Olufson. Why not just get another UE product?

    Spotify and Qobuz difference

    My understanding is you can upload mp3 files to Deezer, but that is a lower quality than what you stream from Deezer.
