    Music You Strongly Dislike (Just For Fun)

    Messiaen's Turangalîla Symphony. It annoys me with its silly mannerisms. A fearful waste of time.

    I *think* my Topping DAC is failing - any suggestions?

    Ever since their online 'rep'/promotor here (John was it?) went silent over that perfect 'balanced flue' amp that was initially numero uno, I decided to avoid Topping products. I sent the guy the politest of emails. That was ignored too. The final straw. How not to do business in the west.

    Fosi Audio V3 Amplifier Review

    £49?!! - I'm being offered it at £79 as a Prime member. What am I doing wrong?

    Best way to upgrade my 2nd hand Linn system

    I'd take advantage of the lingering BS that Ivor the mouthy (magazine assisted) machinist was a god and sell off anything with a Binn badge and start from scratch. See Amir's in-depth reviews of (cheap) amps and DACs, then take BD Woody's room measuring route.

    Suggestions for Throw-away Low Impedance IEMs

    If I may muscle into an old, but on topic thread. With the TIMKOO C360 NLA, what is/are the current favourite bargain iem flavours? (UK availability preferred).

    A Call For Humor!

    (I was 8 at the time) Wife:- "Darling, I was expecting so much more, but you've spent so much on the equipment that you could only afford one LP, & now you want go stereophonic which was launched the day after you took delivery of this! - Doesn't a carpet instead of linoleum come first?"

    Are there any class D amps like tpa3255 or better that can run directly from 48v to 60v DC solar house battery?

    I've been off-grid for twenty years, & I tried direct DC a long time ago. Great in theory but it's not a quiet world across those battery terminals. The pulsing of the solar controller alone coming through the speakers was enough for me. Edit:- I also thought one isolated battery was the way...

    SMSL Sanskrit 10th MK II DAC Review

    ALSA with Audacious (or DeadBeef) would seem a purer, less 'cluttered' route ?

    Can't we all just get along?

    Hail "Dark Leader" :cool: & a video vision appeared before me of ASR members sequentially, intuitively, (& very casually) posting the devastating truth, and Danny slaving 24/7 deleting until, one day, without cosmic significance.....phut.

    AIYIMA A07 TPA3255 Review (Amplifier)

    & who would disagree with you :)

    Poll for Topping PA5 owners only please.

    & shipping aside, it is an all-time bargain. I noticed one post on the review of their latest product that read (to my tired, suspicious mind) like one of those iffy Amazon 'reviews'. So now I am wondering who joined ASR close to when the PA5 issue first flagged up. Isn't 'Damage limitation'...

    Sabaj A10d 2022 Version Review (DAC & Amp)

    Unfortunately they are Topping products. An outfit at the top of my Avoid list, and likely to remain so unless it can demonstrate an understanding of integrity.

    Chinese vs German engineering

    Oh boy. That never happens anywhere else now does it Amalfi Man, so called governments are just low level admin for the string pullers. (mods, this is me attempting to steer the OP away from politics). Best assume that the history of the last (quite a few) centuries is complete balderdash...
