Re: How do I begin?

Whenever i hear "i have the same at home" from a sales guy i feel like puking :) "A classic example of why NOT to open a Hi Fi store in Dublin.....". True Cybot. On the other hand, if the level of advice, is picking the two most expensive amps you have in demo (but just below the...

Re: Hello, i am new

Bonjour Peela, Indeed it was a solid tank CD player ! After all, it's 30 years old and still working :) And it's 14 bit, and no gold anywhere, no remote even lol ! but it still play some fine music :) I'm sure Heineken plays its part, but in itself, it can't explain the lack of interest for Hifi ! I...

Re: HOW OLD ARE YOU? revised!!! please redo poll

"its sound is almost shitty :) by comparison to similar priced stereo integrated amp" Now that is cheating :) Of course an Hifi amp of the same price range will sound better ! I mean it's his job :) Plus HC amps always have DAC build in. And at some price point, you can't even compare anym...
