    The 67-year-old hearing test results! You need hearing aids.

    I bought the Phonak a month ago. Being in UK it cost over £3000. The immediate thing I noticed was how incredibly bright my system was. I had previously regarded it as warm and laid back. Birdcall can also sound incredibly shrill rather than sweet. It's very early days and I'm nowhere near...

    GoldenSounds passes apparently ABX test for DACs (NOT Really)

    Interesting that you mention 8kHz because that was my limit on my hearing test yesterday. In three weeks time there will be a more thorough test which will introduce me to v expensive hearing aids.

    GoldenSounds passes apparently ABX test for DACs (NOT Really)

    A very skilled audiophile-Amir-showed how his test was misconceived. I suggest you re-read the 18-page thread

    Naim Uniti Atom Review (Streamer & Amp)

    Yes, 160! The man in the shop who sold it to me went on to become chief of Kimber Cables, which might interest some on this site.

    Reliable amps

    I have an original Quad 405 that hasn't been used since the 1990s and it's in poor condition. I live in London and Quad are relatively close. They say they will rebuild it for £250 plus vat. Wondering if it's worth it!? Speakers are JBL Century Classic.

    Lenire Tinnitus Treatment

    I had an MRI scan when I developed Tinnitus in 2007. It was negative and as the doctor closed my case he said he would give me a warning: "there are many private firms promising cure or alleviation for Tinnitus, save your money, none of them work"! This was 2007 so things may have moved on.

    Brits try real Texas BBQ for the first time!

    I am starting to understand why Americans appear twice the size they were 70 years ago. I recently saw a video in colour of random street scenes in New York in the 1940s, people looked so much leaner and healthier than today. Car culture is also something to do with it.

    JBL 4329p 8”active Studio Monitor series

    I wonder how these will compare with my Century Classics! They're about the same price but we seem to get a lot more here.

    Set Gustard x26 pro to be DAC only vs DAC + pre?

    I am trying to use the Gustard as a pre-amp with a power amp that I am hiring from a local hifi shop(my integrated was destroyed by a courier company). However, I can't get a sound out of it. Power amp is fine. Any clues what I might be doing wrong??

    Pathos Logos integrated amplifier (Mk1)

    I've had this Italian tube amplifier since 2003. Quite expensive- £3000 or so. It had a £400.00 overhaul by the importer about five years ago and has no problems. However, having lurked on this site for some months it seems that I have to start thinking of replacing it due to the majority...

    Measurements of Gustard X26 Pro Dual 9038 Pro By L7Audiolab

    I'm thinking of pairing my X26 Pro with the new Bluesound Node. I'm with Roon/Tidal/Qobuz. I also enjoy Radio Paradise. Any owners have strong opinions on the wisdom of this?
